DAKOI

DAKOI pushes the boundaries of electronic sound, blending Deconstructed Club and Bass with the raw energy of kuduro, dembow, Hard Drums and Gqom, layered with chopped, high-pitched, and unfiltered vocals. As a DJ and producer, she has been curating events since 2018, now turning her focus to her most refined and conceptual project — LÍBIDA. The project expands into a parallel 3D visual world that follows Dakoi’s character and her lived experiences. LÍBIDA aims to carve out a space that celebrates self-confidence, self-esteem, and positive queer sexual representation. With the release of Mastiga EP in 2023, Dakoi unveiled her cathartic side as a producer. Her approach to beat-making weaves together field recordings and a visceral cut-and-paste process, resulting in raw, emotional, and textured rhythms. Now, Dakoi steps further into her own voice — presenting three new singles where she takes on both production and vocals. The sound is a fierce deconstruction of electronic music: distorted basslines, chaotic polyrhythmic drums, and piercing textures. Lyrically, she delves into themes of life and death, the eternal and the ephemeral — channeling her rage, pain, and passion into an unfiltered sonic experience.
