Discotexas

Discotexas is a Lisbon-based record label founded in 2007 by Moullinex and Xinobi. Closely associated with its founders’ musical orbit, the label has served as a home for club-oriented electronic music that moves between house, disco-leaning grooves, and pop-informed songwriting, reflecting the tastes of artists who are also active as producers and DJs.

The label’s identity is strongly tied to the output of Moullinex and Xinobi, whose work anchors Discotexas’ sound and public profile. Around that core, the roster has included artists such as GPU Panic and MXGPU, projects that underline the label’s interest in contemporary dancefloor production and electronic experimentation without leaving the framework of accessible club music. Releases by Madd Rod and Meta_ further point to a focus on modern house and related styles, with an emphasis on rhythm, synth-driven arrangements, and DJ-friendly structures.

Discotexas has also released music by Joplyn, bringing a more song-centered, vocal electronic dimension into the catalogue. The presence of figures like Justin Strauss, known for long-standing involvement in dance music, signals an openness to collaborations and releases that connect different generations and scenes while remaining aligned with the label’s electronic focus.

Operating from Portugal’s capital, Discotexas is part of Lisbon’s broader electronic music ecosystem and is identified with a distinctly local base while maintaining an outward-facing, international club sensibility. Its catalogue, as represented by the label’s own platform and public-facing information, presents a consistent commitment to electronic dance music shaped by the creative partnership that founded it and the network of artists that has developed around it.
