Ursa’s Reef is a late 80’s traveller and surfer wandering endlessly in the secluded raves of Goa, searching for his own soul while dancing in abandon to the proto-Trance journeys of Goa Gil. Brought up in Sintra, Portugal, by a family of uptight catholic hypocrites, UR goes rogue in his early 20’s, seduced by the esoteric teachings of Levi, Pessoa, Crowley and Israel Regardie while keeping an unhealthy obsession with Roxy Music. He is also a fictional, made up persona – a musical heteronym – of Lisbon-based DJ and producer Marco Rodrigues, mostly known for his work under the name Photonz. Together with his friend Jose Acid – a musical heteronym of Joao Ervedosa AKA Shcuro – he makes one last trip to Goa that could prove fatal.

One Eyed Jacks with the 2nd EP from portuguese DJ, producer, rapper Violet The remx is by the anonymous and enigmatic portuguese producer from Cascais, Ursa’s Reef. Violet’s The Chain EP, powers through the space-time limits of your usual clubbing experience, overflowing with noospheric soul and surfing your naive raver brain while seeking to manifest itself outwards, in the form of empathy and air-fisting, ultimately revealing the great lie of separation and time-binding objective “reality”.
