João Rodrigues, aka Temudo, is a prominent Portuguese DJ and producer celebrated for his distinctive approach to contemporary techno. Debuting his solo project in 2014, his subsequent releases on esteemed labels like Klockworks, Blueprint, and Soma have solidified his reputation as a titan in the techno world. Known for his energetic and skillful 3-deck sets, Temudo has earned acclaim for his dynamic approach behind the decks. As a co-founder of the Hayes Collective, alongside artists such as VIL and Nørbak, he remains at the forefront of Portugal’s techno movement, continually contributing to its growth and innovation.
His latest EP, “Meteora”, exemplifies his ability to blend intense dancefloor energy with deep, experimental soundscapes, showcasing his evolution as an artist. If you’re into techno that hits hard but still retains a deep, atmospheric vibe, you’ll be hooked. Mastering the art of blending dark, hypnotic rhythms with relentless basslines, ‘Meteora’ offers a captivating and immersive listening experience. Highlights include ‘When I Grow Up’, which features a slithering, funky, and hypnotic groove that’ll make you feel like you’re exploring a bioluminescent coral jungle, and ‘Vrthng’, a bass-heavy track that acts as a dancefloor magnet, calling everyone to the floor while delivering pure, devilish excitement.
Released on the Brussels-based Fuse Imprint, this EP proves why Temudo is one of the most exciting names in techno today. It’s raw, experimental, and made for those who live for the underground. If you’re about that dark, deep, and experimental techno energy, this release is a must-listen.
