'Vénia' marks the solo debut of Portuguese drummer and composer João Vairinhos, known for his work with instrumental doom outfit Löbo and collaborations with projects such as Murais, Ricardo Remédio, and Wildnorthe. Released after the advance single "Vala Comum," the EP expands on his reputation as a musician deeply connected to rhythm and atmosphere. Built around a dark, cinematic vision, the record merges industrial textures, brooding electronics, and percussive intensity into an immersive sound experience. Mixed and mastered by Pedro Barceló, it captures both visceral power and refined detail, drawing listeners into its layered, shadowy landscapes.

The EP balances raw energy with a carefully constructed sense of space, often evoking a soundtrack-like quality. The collaboration with Sérgio Prata Almeida (Don’t Disturb My Circles) and Ricardo Remédio (Löbo, RA) further enriches the palette, adding new dimensions to the work’s intensity and emotional weight. Mariana Vilhena’s black-and-white visual narrative for the lead single complements the EP’s hypnotic sound design, reinforcing its cinematic ambition. With 'Vénia', João Vairinhos emerges as a unique voice in Portugal’s experimental music scene, crafting a debut that feels both personal and uncompromising.
