Hiroma Keo is the verlan for Amaury Hocquet, a French born / Lisbon based nerd, selector, live performer and sound engineer who’s versatility is found in his DJ sets, where his love for curveballs, tribalism, deepness and psychedelia is showcased without compromising coherence and collective ecstatic bliss.

Telma is a Lisbon-based DJ and curator , known for her adventurous selections and generous energy behind the decks. Her sets unfold as borderless sonic explorations, weaving through electro, house and techno with an intuitive flair, yet always ready to swerve a genre-bending left turn into breakbeats and dub-bass heavy rhythms.

Hiromakeo and Telma go back to back, closing this edition of Rare Effect from 21:30-23h on Saturday, 8th November.

Hiroma Keo é o verlan de Amaury Hocquet, um nerd nascido em França e radicado em Lisboa, seletor, artista ao vivo e engenheiro de som cuja versatilidade se reflete nos seus sets de DJ, onde o seu amor por surpresas, tribalismo, profundidade e psicadelismo é demonstrado sem comprometer a coerência e a euforia coletiva.

Telma é uma DJ e curadora radicada em Lisboa, conhecida pelas suas seleções ousadas e energia generosa atrás dos decks. Os seus sets desenrolam-se como explorações sonoras sem fronteiras, tecendo electro, house e techno com um talento intuitivo, mas sempre pronta para fazer uma curva à esquerda que mistura géneros, entrando em breakbeats e ritmos pesados de dub-bass.

Hiromakeo e Telma atuam em conjunto, encerrando esta edição do Rare Effect das 21h30 às 23h no sábado, 8 de novembro.

Cezar Mocan is a Lisbon-based artist and computer programmer interested in the interplay between technology and the natural landscape.

At this year’s Rare Effect festival, Cezar presents Exhibit A, part of “”A Field Guide to Orbital Melancholy,”” his long-term research project that explores a speculative future where planetary infrastructure develops its own interpretive layer of reality. The project centers on a simple, yet unsettling, premise: what if a satellite started lying about what it observes on the ground, becoming an unreliable narrator of the Earth below?

“”A Field Guide to Orbital Melancholy”” screens at Arroz Estúdios this Friday and Saturday for Rare Effect, RSVP now: https://luma.com/RareEffect2025

Cezar Mocan é um artista e programador informático sediado em Lisboa, interessado na interação entre a tecnologia e a paisagem natural.

No festival Rare Effect deste ano, Cezar apresenta Exhibit A, parte do seu projeto de investigação de longo prazo «A Field Guide to Orbital Melancholy», que explora um futuro especulativo em que a infraestrutura planetária desenvolve a sua própria camada interpretativa da realidade. O projeto centra-se numa premissa simples, mas inquietante: e se um satélite começasse a mentir sobre o que observa no solo, tornando-se um narrador pouco fiável da Terra abaixo?
