Published: Oct. 12, 2016, 9:55 a.m.

b'Residing in Lisbon, Violet is the moniker of In\\xeas Coutinho. In recent years the city has undergone a cultural evolution if you will as musicians and new talent rise from the undergrowth of Portugal\'s capital. Radio Quantica is one such aspect of this evolution, a local music station which was founded by In\\xeas Coutinho and Marco Rodrigues in November of last year. In a short space of time the radio station has formed itself as a hub for a blossoming electronic community full of promise and aspiration. In\\xeas Coutinho has been absolutely essential in the formation of such a platform, however, this has not prevented her from pursuing her own musical ventures. In recent years she has released music for the likes of Comeme and Snuff Trax. Her interests also see her play an important role in the push for gender equality within music, a keenly political character she also featured on a remake of Underground Resistance\'s widely loved "Transition" in honour of International Women\'s Day. Violet is an artist we can get on board with,'
