Lisbon, Portugal

Lieben overflows matter; he overflows it so much, that little or none of it is left in the end. Lieben is Sebastião Pinto’s main alter ego, when he’s not in Extended Records' admin office or toiling away in the studio as Pagão or DJ Spherma, or otherwise as half of Meia de Leite.

Having moved from the small town of Estremoz to the capital in Lisbon, he was underage when he was sharing studio booths with then-kids Goncalo Neto (Terzi) and Joao Frederico (Smuggla), at a time when electro still bustled all around town. With these two kids he started his label Extended Records in 2011, after many a naive experiment. What started as an artist collective quickly became an incubator for emergent national talents.
