MAQUINA. - Share new single "dança (ft. Dame Area)" - London headline show tomorrow - New album 'BODY TRANSMISSION' out July 10th on Fuzz Club

Photo credit: William Anthony  Following electric shows at The Great Escape & across the UK this week, and with a London headline show tomorrow, Lisbon's party-starters MAQUINA. have shared "dança (ft. Dame Area)" - a second cut from their forthcoming new album ‘BODY TRANSMISSION’, due out July 10th via Fuzz Club. MAQUINA. embody all the sweaty togetherness and euphoria a collective music experience has to offer. The buzzy Lisbon trio have been getting punks to dance and club kids to pogo – “making the bubbles connect a little bit” – with such fervour they routinely pack out venues and inspire multiple waves of crowdsurfing at any given live show. On their new LP they bottle that energy, and they don’t waste any time getting started. Today they share the album’s party-popping opener “dança”, a track pumped and primed to turn heads and get the blood flowing, featuring bratty punk vocals from Silvia Konstance and synths from Viktor L. Crux of Barcelona-based duo Dame Area. Inspired by the pair’s work, MAQUINA. invited them to collaborate on the track, with Konstance swapping her native Italian for Portuguese. The track sets up the heartbeat of the record, all relentlessly propulsive 4/4, feral shrieking, and a smoking guitar line that cuts through the three-note bass riff with searing focus.  Speaking on the track, MAQUINA. comment: "'dança' explores a moment of introspection: the importance of being with oneself, of making space for an intimate moment, even if through dance. When words fail, the body speaks. “I just want to dance” becomes a statement suspended between inward reflection and the need for release."  Listen to "dança (ft.

The three-piece ring in a new chapter with their second LP ‘BODY TRANSMISSION’: a head-banging trip through high-energy noise-rock, motorik metal, and industrial punk that doesn’t stop moving.  Bottling the raw power of their now-legendary live shows, ‘BODY TRANSMISSION’ – co-produced by the band alongside Hugo Valverde – arrives following MAQUINA.’s 2024 debut ‘PRATA’, also released on Fuzz Club and largely driven by improvisation, locking itself into the flow state of a live performance. For their new full-length, the band – Halison Peres (drums/vocals), José "Mendy" Rego (bass), and João Cavalheiro (guitar/effects) – opted for less jamming and more “editing”, taking time to mull over the direction of each track while also looking to condense 10-minute meanders into three or four-minute “bangers” that slap.   The result is a full-body rush geared towards the dance-floor with “no breaks”; a club-ready rock record steered by the trio’s guitar, drums, and bass combo. “It was the most challenging and fun we’ve ever had in the studio because we pushed ourselves to write songs rather than just capturing jams,” say the band. “We wanted it to feel heavy, focused, and relentless. We kept the tempo up and the energy peaking – it’s an 'always-on' record.”   MAQUINA. live dates: 19 May – Newcastle, UK – The Cluny 20 May – London, UK – Downstairs at the Dome 21 May – Paris, France – Garage Mu Festival 22 May – The Hague, Netherlands – Sniester Festival 23 May – Le Havre, France – Foul Weather Festival 30 May – Freamunde, Portugal – Route 66 18 June – Caldas da Rainha, Portugal – Festival Impulso 19 June – Santa Maria de Lamas, Portugal – Basqueiral 20 June – Lucerne, Switzerland – B-Sides Festival 21 June – Martigny, Switzerland – Caves du Manoir 23 June – Bilbao, Spain – Kutxa Beltza 24 June – Madrid, Spain – Café Berlin 25 June – Santander, Spain – The New 26 June – Bergerac, France – La Claque Festival 27 June – Paimpol, France – Paimpol in Rock 28 June – Bourlon, France – Rock in Bourlon 4 July – Sintra, Portugal – Festival Aqui ao Lado 18 July – Lisbon, Portugal – Musa de Marvila (DJ Set) 31 July – Constância, Portugal – Rock ao Luar 6 August – Aveiro, Portugal – Novas Quintas, Teatro Aveirense 7 August – Nuremberg, Germany – Brückenfestival 9 August – Liège, Belgium – Micro Festival 16 August – Santiago de Compostela, Spain – Capitol* 10 September – Šibenik, Croatia – SHIP Festival 12 September – Orléans, France – Hop Pop Hop Festival * supporting Amyl and the Sniffers   ‘BOY TRANSMISSION’ track list: 1. dança (ft.
