Curitiba-raised, Milan-based artist Bárbara Boeing is the selector and producer who is beloved for championing Brazilian music in her sets. In 2022, after many years of digging for dance floor gems and fine tuning her ear, Bárbara arrived at a point where she felt ready and inspired to make her own music.

Cuethe five-track Brasiliana EP, which came out via Toy Tonics in May, 2023. The collection of tracks is a reflection of only a fraction of the breadth of sounds and styles that make their way into her DJ sets.

17 years into honing her craft, Bárbara’s colourful and uplifting DJ sets are always peppered with music from her homeland and across Latin America, and span everything from funk, soul, tropicalia, Balearic, house, breaks, synth pop, disco, Italo and more. In 2024, she will play at events like Gop Tun and Lost Village, while in recent years she’s appeared on the bill at some of dance music’s best festivals, such as Polifonic, Melt, Kala, Nuits Sonores, Time Warp in São Paulo, Listen, Lente Kabinet and Dekmantel Selectors.
