Yen Sung should need no introduction: a pioneer of the Portuguese dance music scene that is indissociable from many of its pivotal moments and mutations. Her status as a trailblazer goes back to the early 90s, when she started the very first hip hop night in Lisbon, just after she was taken as resident at legendary venue Frágil and subsequently LuxFrágil, in 1998, where she has remained to this day. Even more so, Yen has been vital in the development of house music and techno in Lisbon, playing some of the earliest parties, expressing a kinship to the purest form of these genres coming from Chicago, NYC and Detroit at a time when few others would. With regular gigs all over the country and abroad, in-depth articles in platforms such as Resident Advisor or Rhythmic Culture, and records on legendary labels like Atlantic Jaxx, she’s widely considered one of Portugal’s most consistent talents and a true master of the craft. In 2021 she joined forces with another Lisbon mainstay, Photonz, to collaborate in the studio. Soon after that, Alphabet Street Records was born and we’re thrilled to be able to host a line-up totally curated by the label after last year’s memorable time with Yen Sung and Photonz behind the decks at Anyway.
