2010 was an important turning point for Enchufada: we transformed from a ghost company behind the group Buraka Som Sistema, operating mainly in Portugal, into a proper label and agency, breaking new artists and presenting them to the (our) world, in all sorts of formats and shapes while gaining a considerable amount of presence in some of the main music channels around.

We started of with E-SPAM 001, a compilation where we presented a lot of new artists, including Youthless and PAUS (that ended up releasing one of the most important EP’s in the history of Enchufada) but also concluded an important cycle for some of the artists who had previously released full length albums like Buraka Som Sistema and Macacos do Chinês.

From there we developed the release of the whole Hard Ass Sessions series, that featured too many names to mention, and keeps on evolving more and more (and more), transporting the Kuduro sound into a totally new stratosphere. Paralel to all that we’ve had 3 handpicked single releases from Roulet, J-WOW and T.Williams all exploring what music is going to sound like in a Future near you…


We also had festival madness and a loooots of shows from our acts, including our own stage at Optimus Alive in Lisbon, where PAUS presented their EP “É uma água” in what would become a legendary concert and some other events where we had the pleasure to be joined by friends such as Sinden, Benga, Douster, Laidback Luke, Wildlife!, Roska, Nic Sarno, and the list goes on and on!

Thanks for watching, there’s so much more to come…

In the meantime here’s some music for you:
