On its way to its twelfth edition, the Azorean festival Tremor announced today ten more confirmations in the line-up for its 2025 edition. Music that is diverse and connected to the current times, with a proposal that blends influences, styles, and geographies. Between raw energy and lyrical explorations, intense spirituality and dense electronic beats, the musical scenery of yet another Tremor broadens.

Keeley Forsyth translates a visceral narrative about the ups and downs of domestic and personal life into music, oscillating between devastation and exaltation in a minimalist style that emphasises the power of her voice. Using the vocal apparatus as the centre of an emotional landscape, Forsyth transports the listener to a profound reflection on the human condition. A common ethos marks Clarissa Connelly's journey. Radiant, frightening, mesmerising, her latest album, World of Work, traces the metaphysical landscape of the soul. Between the intimate and the cosmic, Clarissa invites us on a sonic journey that is alternately silent and breathtaking. At the antipodes, Kabeaushé's ancestrally infused pop. Permeated by the potential of rave energy, distorted beats and ricocheting breaks, the Kenyan artist's music is a vibrant and energetic act of resistance.

Returning after a five-year hiatus, 800 Gondomar presents São Gunão as a step towards maturity. Garage-punk expanding to other corners of their musical spectrum and incisive lyrics looking at issues such as housing and the dilemmas of today's digital society.  At the same time, Scottish duo comfort challenges other boundaries of sound, bringing a mix of punk, noise and industrial music to their work. With lyrics that call for freedom and queer resistance in a restrictive society, comfort explore vulnerability and confrontation as vehicles for transformation. 

Porto-based Turkish artist Ece Canlı plunges into a cinematic universe in S A C R O S U N, her latest album. Through expanded vocal techniques, Canlı offers a series of sound meditations that delve into the intangible and the unknown. It is also in the realms of mystery that we find the work of The Zenmenn. In Enter The Zenmenn, this enigmatic collective creates a sound fusion that brings together Eastern and Western influences, offering a kind of contemplative and harmonious soundtrack for a more connected and peaceful world. 

In terms of artistic residencies, the festival will bring together musician and producer Ari You Ok and dancer Débora N'Jiokou aka Deby, for a show that will cross different spectrums of hip hop. Born in Portugal and raised in Cape Verde, Ari started out in music at an early age, experimenting with beatbox and percussion. Since 2012, he has explored the Fruity Loops Studio to combine ancestral and digital cultural influences, creating a sound fusion that is expressed live with a loopstation and percussion. Débora N'Jiokou aka Deby is a French dancer who specialises in hip hop and house. The stage debut of this meeting between the two artists will take place at Tremor, in collaboration with the Lingua Franca collective, which will develop an artistic residency with the artists at Museu do Tabaco, in the parish of Maia, in the municipality of Ribeira Grande.
