Project

Circle Beat

Circle Beat is a collective project born from years of friendship, shared stages, and a strong commitment to DIY culture.
Brought together by music and a desire to make things happen on our own terms, I co-created Circle Beat as a platform to organize shows, support independent projects, and produce meaningful visual and audio content. Each of us brings a different skill — video, design, communication, production — and together we work hands-on, adapting to the needs of every project with care, clarity, honesty and full independence.

DIY PROJECTS

Work Summary

With years of experience in the punk rock scene and the DIY world, on 2024 I called on three longtime collaborators — a videographer, a graphic designer, and an industrial designer — all deeply rooted in underground music and with whom I’ve worked on many projects before. Together, we created Circle Beat: a platform through which we channel both collective and personal initiatives. We organize shows, plan tours, and support DIY projects we believe in — offering a hand wherever our skills can help.

Project Overviews

Through Circle Beat, we’ve hosted concerts, designed and produced graphic and audiovisual material, supported bands with their communication, created social media content, and helped plan tours and merch for independent artists. Our work adapts to the needs of each project with a critical, practical, and honest approach.

Step by step

Everything starts with connection — with the project, with the people, and with the idea. From there:

  1. We listen to what’s needed.

  2. We split tasks based on our strengths (video, design, comms, production…).

  3. We suggest simple, efficient, realistic solutions.

  4. We work collaboratively, with care and flexibility.

  5. We document and share the process, because what we build isn’t just about the result — it’s about the path.

Challenges

The hardest part has been balancing spontaneity with commitment. Doing everything with limited resources without compromising quality or intention.
Keeping the energy alive when there’s not much money involved — only trust, time, and willingness — is also a constant challenge.
But maybe that’s the point: we don’t do it out of duty, we do it because we believe in it.
