HOZHO & Guests

Get ready to immerse yourself in HOZHO’s one-of-a-kind Melodark genre as he brings his renowned blend of serene melodies and dark, somber synths to Musica on December 21st, 2024.

Hailing from Portugal, HOZHO, also known as Joel Monteiro, has been a pioneer of Melodark since 2015. What began as a personal expression has since evolved into an artistic movement, resonating with fans worldwide. For HOZHO, Melodark isn’t just a sound—it’s a way of life. His music, steeped in emotional depth and motivational storytelling, invites listeners on an unforgettable journey through his specially crafted sonic world.

HOZHO has performed at renowned festivals like Mystic Garden Festival, Baum Festival, Seismic Dance Event, and Carl Cox's Fabrik 20 party, earning international recognition for his exceptional sound and remarkable stage presence.

HOZHO’s unique style draws inspiration from classical composers like Hans Zimmer and Ludovico Einaudi, blending these influences with the raw energy of breakbeat rhythms. His meticulous attention to detail is showcased in tracks that often stretch beyond seven minutes, offering listeners a narrative-driven experience. Honey Trap, which has garnered over 14 million views on YouTube, exemplifies his ability to merge serene melodies with dark, driving basslines. Unlike many artists who rely on repetitive beats, HOZHO molds each track as a standalone story, producing music that is immersive and thought-provoking.

One of the highlights of his discography is his LP Yin Yang, which integrates techno, progressive, and orchestral elements, inviting listeners to explore his intricate soundscapes in full depth.
