Maquina - Urban Spree - BERLIN

MAQUINA.


is a Lisbon-based trio and one of Portugal’s most active live acts on the European circuit. Formed by Halison Peres (drums/vocals), João Cavalheiro (guitar), and José Rego (bass), the band fuses krautrock, industrial electronics, and noise into a hypnotic, high-impact sound driven by repetition and rhythm.


Following the releases of Dirty Tracks for Clubbing (2023) and Prata (2024), MAQUINA has cemented its place within the European alternative scene, touring extensively and building a reputation for intense, physical live performances where dancefloor energy meets raw experimentation. Their shows are immersive and relentless, drawing audiences across genres. A standout moment includes their Live on KEXP session at Trans Musicales (France), showcasing the band’s precision and visceral power to a global audience.


MAQUINA. represent a new wave of Portuguese music, boundary-pushing, rhythm-driven, and impossible to stand still.
