Pedro Frazão, aka Kalif, began his journey in electronic music in the mid-1990s in Brazil. In the 2000s, he became part of Dublin’s underground techno scene, performing across Ireland and in venues such as Rex Club in Paris, before releasing his debut album Banzo in 2008. Shortly after, he stepped away from music.

Years later, after a long period of introspection and personal loss, music returned — not as ambition, but as a necessity, both spiritual and artistic. In 2022 he released You Could Hear Broken Violins in the Wind, marking a mature and deeply personal rebirth.

Today, Kalif’s sound moves between melodic techno, textured electronica and cinematic atmospheres. His recent work reflects realization rather than reinvention — a synthesis of roots, memory and lived experience. Less driven by scene or trend, his compositions focus on emotional continuity, depth and narrative flow.

His latest album continues this trajectory — a 16-track narrative that moves from introspection to intensity. Shifting between nostalgic warmth, melancholic beauty and abstract textures, the record travels through electronica and harder techno while remaining anchored in melody and harmonic depth. It is less a collection of tracks than a continuous story shaped by memory, contrast and arrival.
