Mozambican-born producer and DJ 40D makes his Sondela Recordings debut with ‘Bohemian Opera’ a bold three-track release that blends emotional depth with experimental edge. Rooted in personal reflection and artistic risk, each track explores a different facet of feeling and storytelling through rich textures and layered soundscapes. No stranger to the scene, 40D’s recent collaborative releases ‘Meteor’ (Kazukuta Records) and ‘Mars’ (Madorasindahouse) with Conde have been making waves over the last year, alongside standout remixes of Homeboyz’s ’Ven Pa Ka’ and Anthony P.’s ‘Tsunyu’.

'So Happy, I Forget How Pain Feels’ opens the release with romantic vulnerability. Written from personal experience, the track reflects emotional acceptance through a heartfelt topline and moving arrangement.

'Dire Straits’ shifts the mood, led by a gritty, reworked bassline that evolves into a striking lead—rich in texture, provocative, and packed with raw, dancefloor-driven energy.

Closing with ‘Point of No Return’, 40D embraces the cinematic, weaving a haunting melody through layered instrumentation that balances chaos and calm.

Bohemian Opera is a powerful expression of emotion through rhythm—an invitation to move, reflect, and feel deeply.
