Although Zouk Bass is an expression I have been making a point to avoid, I have to give it up to some of the cats rocking the name. Kudos to Generation Bass for pushing the sound of Lisbon’s next generation Fruity Loops wizards, in this case DJs 2Pekes and Kuimba from the DZC crew. Read more about the EP here.

It’s not over yet! I don’t know these cats so I will not paraphrase and leave it up to GB to school us. Download here.[:de]

Been drooling over this one for a few days now, finally up on soundcloud. BIG FKN GUN is the bomb as explained more thoroughly here. Okmalumkoolkat from Dirty Paraffin has a flow that has been driving me nuts ever since I heard their Greatest Hits mixtape. And Spoek, does he still need to be introduced?

dj znobia

DJ Znobia is one of my all time musical heroes. The guy has done more to shape kuduro or tarraxinha into what we now know them to be, than any other angolan or Portugues artist I can think of. On this track he goes bananas over a very, very famous sound. Bloooohoooooooood!

 In case you didn’t know… we will be releasing a so far so siiiiiiiick remix EP of new unreleased tracks by Mohamed Alidu, whom you can read about here. The first remix was just released as a teaser via the XLR8R website, and features the work of…. Murlo! A current favorite of mine, check these crazy tunes.

What better way to leave you than with, quite simply, the best music in the world. Orchestrated by a knowledgeable and sensitive selector, DJ Zhao.
