MXGPU Return to Discotexas with New Single ‘Lagged Out’

Following their sold-out Live Under Lisbon event and the release of their ‘Live Over Porto’ set from Primavera Sound, the Portuguese duo deliver a fast, minimal, peak-time cut ahead of their upcoming Gardens of Babylon appearance at ADE.

MXGPU, the collaborative project of Portuguese artists Moullinex and GPU Panic, return to their home label Discotexas today with their new single, ‘Lagged Out’. A high-energy melodic house track built for the intensity of the dancefloor, the release follows September's ‘All The Love’ as the duo continue to expand the sonic world of their debut album, Sudden Light, through a sound increasingly shaped by their immersive live performances.

One of MXGPU’s most minimal productions to date, ‘Lagged Out’ pairs a stripped-back approach with relentless forward momentum. Already a fan favourite during the duo’s peak-time sets, the track captures the tension, pace and physical energy at the heart of their hybrid live performances.

Speaking about the release, MXGPU explain:

“One of our most minimal tracks, and also one of the fastest… its DNA is peak time energy, made purposefully for our hybrid sets.”

The single arrives following the release of Live Over Porto, a full-length performance film captured during MXGPU’s appearance at Primavera Sound Porto in June 2026. Filmed in a single take while the duo performed suspended above the festival’s main-stage dancefloor, the recording pushed their distinctive 360° live format into one of its most ambitious settings yet. 

With the audience gathered beneath and around their elevated triangular structure, the performance embodied the project’s ongoing exploration of electronic music, architecture and collective experience.

MXGPU Take Electronic Music Underground With ‘Live Under Lisbon’

On October 10, MXGPU brought their vision of immersive electronic performance to an avant-garde setting with Live Under Lisbon, a sold-out event at Hidden Metro Olaias in the Portuguese capital.

Conceived and curated by the duo, the event transformed a hidden part of Lisbon’s metro infrastructure into a temporary club, bringing together more than eight hours of music and performances. The programme featured Adriana Ruas, Isadora (Live), Madd Rod, Sainte Vie (Live) and MXGPU (Live), creating a meeting point for electronic music, performance and the city’s creative community.

Continuing the duo’s interest in taking music beyond traditional club and festival settings, Live Under Lisbon extended their exploration of how architecture and space can reshape the relationship between performers and audiences. From performing above the Tagus River in 2025 to their elevated appearance at Primavera Sound Porto earlier this year, MXGPU have consistently reimagined the spaces in which their music is experienced. The sold-out Lisbon event marked another significant moment for the project, bringing this approach back to their home city.

MXGPU at Gardens of Babylon ADE

MXGPU’s international run continues this Sunday, October 25, as the duo bring their signature 360° live show to Gardens of Babylon’s ‘The Seekers of Light’ showcase in Amsterdam, as part of the official Amsterdam Dance Event programme. Taking place at WestWeelde, the performance is scheduled for 20:30–22:00. 

The Gardens of Babylon’s annual ADE showcase brings together electronic music, art, performance and community across an immersive multi-day experience. MXGPU will join the programme with their 360° live performance, bringing their signature triangular structure and audience-surrounding format to the Amsterdam dancefloor.
