1-HOUR SPECIAL PISTON RECORDINGS DJ SET BY: LGA


Piston Recordings (another favorite Portuguese electronica label of Luis) was born in 2007 out of the hands of Rogério Martins, Managing Director, A&R and Artist, to fill the void in Portugal’s independent dance music labels dedicated to young and fresh new talent.

At Piston Recordings it’s not all about the music. It’s also about growing and nurturing a family of artists with their music and establishing strong bonds with them. For those at Piston, it doesn’t matter if it’s Deep House, Techno, Chillout or whatever you want to call it, what matters is the people behind it.

Today Piston continues to deliver its promise, looking out for new and uprising talent who need a solid platform to release their music! Enjoy this edition of HFTM with a special 1-hr Piston Recordings dj set by none other than Maria’s resident DJ: lga \ aka Luis Aguilera \ aka Luis Gabriel Aguilera.
