Orpheu The Wizard

Orpheu The Wiz­ard has a mag­ic touch at find­ing records that fall between the gaps in music — odd­i­ties, curios, the weird, the won­der­ful. But that’s just half the trick. It takes a sen­si­tive and selec­tive ear to con­struct a coher­ent, acces­si­ble nar­ra­tive from them. So you get DJs who can play for the crowd and ​“selec­tors” adept at min­ing the black gold. In Orpheu, you’ve got some­one who can do both. On a fes­ti­val main stage, he can keep it weird enough for the heads. In a con­nois­seurs’ set­ting, he’ll keep the flow.
