Mafalda lives by one simple motto: only play the records you really, really love. Her DJ sets radiate warmth and joy, moving seamlessly between soul, gospel, jazz, house, R&B, and Brazilian rarities, always with an uplifting energy. Over the past decade, the Portuguese selector has become a beloved name in the music world, playing for Madlib, Boiler Room, Four Tet’s Nuits Sonores stage, and festivals like Glastonbury, We Out Here, and Primavera. A true digger, she’s also been a guest on BBC’s Peel Acres, Dekmantel, and Gilles Peterson’s 6 Music show, bringing her deep knowledge and passion to global audiences. Her journey began in London’s legendary clubs and record stores, from Corsica Studios to the famed Plastic People. As a key player in Melodies International, she helped reissue lost gems and shaped its global "You’re A Melody" events. Her NTS radio show, Tropic Of Love, has since grown into a label, further spreading the music she adores. In 2023, Mafalda’s star continued to rise, with standout sets at Glitterbox Ibiza, Oasis Festival Morocco, and Kala Albania. Whether solo or B2B with Rebecca Vasmant, her sets are an essential dancefloor experience.
