Lisbon mainstays Branko and Pedro da Linha return with their sophomore BLOQO release: the three-track ‘Floorwrk’ EP, arriving via Aus Music on December 5.
Following their ‘BLOQO (Dan Dan)’ on Enchufada–supported by tastemakers including BBC 6Music’s New Music Fix, Gilles Peterson, and Lena Willikens–BLOQO’s Aus Music debut pushes their signature blend of forward-thinking rhythms and global club sounds into new territory. From the off-kilter melodies of ‘Floorwrk’ to the bass-led pulse of ‘Tell Me +’ and the wiggly electronics of ‘Jupiter’, the EP distils the duo’s textural and polyrhythmic instincts through a distinctly club-focused lens.
Born from late-night studio sessions, BLOQO is less about music enriched with a Lisbon-centric DNA and more about personal artistic expression. As the duo describes it, “the project was conceived as a way to distil the influential musical worlds they’ve already built as solo artists and producers. BLOQO is a liberation and a new place to reconnect with the pure, instinctive act of making tracks for dancefloors. The result is music shaped by decades of DJ residencies, rave memories, and a shared love of the universal melody and rhythms that keep a crowd hooked.”
Branko and Pedro da Linha are two Lisbon-based producers with extensive histories as DJs, producers, and scene builders. Branko, founder of Enchufada and co-founder of Buraka Som Sistema, has been instrumental in shaping Lisbon’s part in the global club conversation, while fellow mainstay Pedro da Linha is one of the city’s most inventive producers, boasting key club residencies and standout releases on Enchufada. Both artists had increasingly drifted toward live instrumentation, collaborations, and conceptual explorations; BLOQO is their return to pure club music.
BLOQO ‘Floorwrk’ EP drops via Aus Music on 5th December 2025.
