Club Popozuda @ Favela Chic this Sunday!! Halloween!!

Playing on the night:
VAMANOS - We're very excited to bring you one of our favourite DJs as a special Halloween treat, we trick you not! Regarded as a bit of an authority on urban dance music, Vamanos is known for his explosive DJ sets at Radioclit's much loved monthly Secousse parties at the Notting Hill Arts Club. He's also one of the people behind the excellent Ghetto Bassquake blog and record label, a critically acclaimed destination for the hottest underground sounds from around the world, focussed especially on Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean. Expect a heavy, intoxicating, uplifting mix of bootyshaking kuduro, kwaito, cumbia, baile and much much more…

JOÃO BRASIL and THE BUMPS - Club Popozuda residents João Brasil and The Bumps will be playing live and back-to-back after rocking a CRAZY set together in August. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? So we've decided to bring that magic back. Remember, this is true Brazilian baile funk style - LIVE mixing, mashing and sampling from the decks, the MPC and more improvised technical wizardry than you can shake your booty at. Probably. Feel free to test that theory!

WANDO - Kicking us all off will be a new girl on the block, continuing our fine tradition of discovering and sharing new talent. We're not saying too much about this exciting prospect for now (she's so fresh she doesn't have a website)… just come along early and be surprised!

Baile X at Guardian! ;D

"...And, now, Brazilian-born, London-based DJ/mashup artist João Brasil has made the terrific Baile X, which combines the band's debut album with the thrilling, bass-heavy baile funk which grew out of Rio's favelas. Download its booty-shaking treats from bit. But be warned, after hearing all these, the original does begin to sound a bit empty by comparison."

Umbabarauma mashup na Rolling Stone!

Saiu no Blog da Rolling Stone o meu UMBABARAUMBA mashup com a banda Skank! ;D

It's we Nelson Motta!

Perguntado pelo jornal Folha de Pernambuco, Nelson Motta respondeu:

"Do que você se ressente, em termos de qualidade, com relação à atual produção cultural do País?

A oferta hoje é gigantesca. Nunca houve tanta coisa boa na praça e a quantidade de música ruim sendo ofertada, por consequência, também é enorme. Sempre foi assim, é da quantidade e da diversidade que nascem a originalidade e a qualidade. O que é lixo musical deve estar no seu lugar: lixo. Mas há muita gente jovem fazendo bonito. A excelente Maria Gadú, por exemplo, é a melhor que vi no ano passado. Tem um belo timbre de voz, pessoal e caloroso, técnica perfeita e, ainda, compõe muito bem. E tem só 24 anos! Há outras maravilhosas e que já estão há mais tempo no mundo musical: Roberta Sá, Ana Cañas, Maria Rita, Silvia Machete, Marina de La Riva... e o fabuloso produtor e músico João Brasil, que faz mash-ups (colagens) sensacionais, como Tom Jobim misturado ao Funk."

Matéria toda aqui.
