Black Pomade

Lisbon circuit regular Black Pomade is a DJ and producer originally from Milan (Italy), founder of the Ruínas collective and the Whoopee party series.

Heavily influenced by the NY Disco scene and the Chicago House originators, he's known for his melting pot of analog synths, groovy basslines, and syncopated beats.
His sets travel through lots of House, Disco, and Acid records, filling the dance-floor with high energy and big smiles.

Between 2021 and 2023 he ran a residency at MusicBox Lisbon focused on connecting the Italian scene with the Portuguese one. Besides his regular shows in Lisbon and Milan, throughout the years he had the chance to bring his sound around Europe and Asia, playing in Bangkok, Singapore, Osaka, Vienna, and Sofia, sharing the line-up with artists like Emmanuelle, Kamma&Masalo, Don Carlos, Satoshi Tomiie, and the living legend Nicky Siano. He also contributed to renowned podcast series, such as SlothBoogie, Discoteca, and Histoires de Piscines, and radio shows in Melbourne, Pittsburgh, Skopje, São Paulo, and Ibiza.

Black Pomade released music on Last Forever Records, Stereo Ferment, Modmotif, Dig This Way Records, Youngbloods, and on vinyl for Martino Edits and Windmill Re-Edits. In 2023 he launched the vinyl-only edit series Manzo Edits and for 2024 he has upcoming releases scheduled on Whopee Rec and Rollover’s Anything Goes.
