Voodoohop is a contagious and exhuberant art collective. it emerged from an underground party and in a few years, became one of the most striking artistic movements in Brazil.
through 4 years of intense collaborative events Voodoohop’s dJs, performers, video artists & dancers created a synesthetic show working like a tropical cabaret. the music mixes with lights, decoration and projection, performers and dancers contaminate the public.
Be prepared for glitter showers and sound explosions !

in 2009 a group of artists from different backgrounds and origins instinctly converged to the old decadent heart of the city and started to use it as a playground for experimentation.
expending from the center of São paulo to other cities, they are nomadic, exploring temporary environments such asabandoned buildings, carparks, private houses, forests, waterfalls or trashy lap dance clubs.

the ColleCtiVe
Voodoohop is composed of the twisted electronica of psilosamples, Jardim elétrico’s vivid video mapping, tropical psychedelic performances from Keroøàcidu Suäväk, hugo perucci, Volatille and timalina, the blended mixes from djs thomash, urubu, piero chiaretti, carlos capslock and a Macaca and the visual imersion of daniel lie and ton candido.
thomash is a surprising figure of the brasilian musical
scene, dj and creator of the Voodoohop party in São
paulo. after getting a degree in artificial intelligence
in Scotland, it didn’t take long for thomash to start
playing around with new programs like live and quickly
develop his own way of mixing music. characterized by
tropical beats, irresistible groove and layers of synths,
thomash’s music represents the perfect fusion between
his country of origin, germany and Brasil. his style
can be described as an unpretentious mix between
krautrock, samba, eletronica and psychedelia, blurring
the frontier of styles and bpms.
thoMash dJ
Marina Sarno aka urubu is a Multimedia
artist and dJ from Salvado de Bahia. her
musical research is at the intersection of
electronic music, regionalism an Brazilian
folklore. as a dj she develops a dialogue
between these heterogene worlds: the
scholar, the technical, organic and popular,
mixing electronic music. lambada, european
avant-garde, electro-candomblé, lo-fi synths
with maculele.
uRubu dJ
psilosamples is the brainchild of the Mineiro Zé rolê, an artist born
and raised in the small town of pouso alegre, in the south of the state
of Minas gerais. the rural environment that surrounds his life (a lot
of vegetation, grass, dogs barking and a tremendous sense of calm)
spontaneously ended up cross-pollinating his music. rolê’s sound blends
the songs - “cantigas”, the traditions - the “cirandas” and the “forrós”
of traditional Brazilian culture with electronic music, and techno and
idM in particular.
psilosamples is currently preparing his second album, Mental Surf. its
distribution in Japan is already assured by octave/ultravibe, the same
label that represents artists like cut chemist, Madlib and Burial, among
others. in 2012 he played at Sonar Barcelona.
psilosaMples liVe
piero chiaretti is a 22 years old dj from
São paulo. in a crusade for sound without
boundaries, he bravely ventures into the
dark world of psychedelic rock, the jungles
of disco and up to the distant shores of
many africas. he always follows the road
marked by funky grooves and contagious
beats seasoned with cowbell.
pieRo ChiaRetti dJ
paulo tessuto is a well known brazilian dJ
and cultural activist. Famous for his long
sets mixing hypnotic downtempo, nu disco
and house, he created a project called
‘carlos capslock convida’. this irreverently
political party, gathers the the freakiest
performers of the city.
CaRlos CapsloCk dJ peRFoMeR
after organizing parties in parisian squats
a Macaca in quest of tropical climate went
into exile in Sao paulo where she took
refuge in the cult of Voodoohop, itinerant
parties that combine mystery and hedonism.
She felt at home and took advantage of
this air of freedom blowing in the heads
Sao paulo to play her favorite songs with
unlimited style. Without betraying their
european origins, their djsets acidulated mix
fully with the Brazilian energy.
a MaCaCa dJ peRFoMeR
Freaky contemporary carnavalesque entity
who grew up in piripiri (piaui/north of Brazil).
in his performances he plays with multiple
allusions and esthetic experiences. travels
through distincts but complementary musical
universes (Samba, Brazilian 60’s & 70’s rock),
between tradition and futurism, marrying
music with visual art. Volatiluz get himself
and his public into simultaneous experiences,
multiexperiences, incorporation of his body to
the piece of art, in-corporations.
Volatiluz DJ/performer
experimental filmmakers deconstructing
narratives, BirdZzie and hta, declared
themselves proud members of the aa
(anonymous audiovisualist). they play with
imaginative and visually eclectic influences
ranging from Svankmajer to peS, deren,
lynch, paik or Buñuel, Vertov, anti-VJ,
(...) lichtfaktor, Viola and nelson leirer,
the most important is to travel in their
immersive pixelized world.
JaRdiM eletRiCo Video Mapping
rg_Faleiros is Brazilian duo formed by
artists rafael rg and Fabiana Faleiros.
Much of rg_Faleiros´s artistic production
derives from social interventions in relation
with local communities. Between the
performance and the Mcs show, they use
their microphone as unpolitical weapon and
humour bomb.
rG/faleiros mCs peRFoRMeR
hugo search in his work to gather
individual poetic creation which permeates
through drawing, painting, installation or
urban intervention with the participation
of the public. this way he manages to
create an special atmosphere of ritual and
catharsis taking art as a possible platform
for experience and transgression.
HuGo perucci performer/
open ritual event assimilating all kind
of cries and whispers that exist in its
surroundings. experimental music resulting
of polymorphic positions, acoustic
instruments, exotic clothes and masks.
Sensorial explosions of colors, movements,
instincts transcending the technique. Free
folk: discovery of an ancestry that can
be recreated, personal folklore, concrete-
primitiveness. experimental bodies drifting
in ecstasy... incorporations: pilantropov
pausanias and Kaloan Meenochite
keRooaCido suaVak liVe MusiC peRFoRMeRs
Born in a Jackfruit on the shore of the
amazonian river, timalina, this famous
dancing narcotic anonymous, reincarnates
sometimes as a dark ghost wrapped in
tight latex or a coulourful bird-women. She
is a live-artist who grew with the variable
and unvarious development of São paulo
nightlife. her performances involves dance,
music, social interaction, incarnation, neon
tropopsipop, psychedelic transe, lights,
electricity, water and guarana powder.
tiMalina peRFoRMeR
São paulo born daniel lie manipulates
video, colours and lights. Mixing images and
switching colours under the influence of
chitas (traditionnal colourful Brazilian piece
of fabric), the artist mainpulates projectors
to iluminate the surrounding space and
through a playful use of lens, mirror or
cristal he creates an atmosphere of visual
immersion.
daniel lie Visual iMeRsion
in love with video, music, lights and technology.
this creature travels freely through darkness without
recognizable features, creating entertaining and
hypnotizing immersive experiences. through projections,
performances and noises he guides you into a world
full of synesthesia and colours.
