Informações gerais

Metal Box is an audio and music recording studio built on shipping containers. The studio is part of Village Underground Lisboa the new creative hub in the city.

This is where we record among other projects, the Red Bull´s Ginga Beat, a weekly radio show that airs on Antena 3 on Saturdays.

A show that combines mixtape tradition, obsessive digging spirit and the use of sound as a raw material for art. From an ever-fresh selection of global club tunes and trends courtesy of record label honcho and music blogger Rui Miguel Abreu to a comprehensive update of what’s new in the Portuguese scene, Ginga Beat is all about discovering and sharing music with the open-mindedness it deserves. Every one-hour show under the “Inside Out” banner, is split up into three parts, with Rui Miguel Abreu taking care of the International Affairs Office, MC Maze and Quim Albergaria from the band PAUS work together to bring you the undiscovered fresh sounds that are emerging across Portugal, while Ivvvo and Academy grad Violet showcase all the international Afro-Brazil-Lusophone connections. Cuts come courtesy of talented turntablist DJ Ride, while local techno jock Gustavo Rodrigues - boss at Metal Box - is in charge of all things recording and editing.
