Edu K – Do the Brega EP ( Ft Bonde Do Rolê, & More)

Caballo — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:00:56 +0000

One of the great things about Mad Decent is giving glimpses of great under scenes from around the globe.
Brazilian music always reshapes itself, and find new ways to keep the Brazilian hot attitude while expanding the sonic spectrum.

Today, we would like to unveil a great release from Brazilian trademark EDU K.

If you like Funk Carioca aka Baile Funk, the chances that you have heard at least one EDU K song are really high.
And if you are Brazilian, the chances that you have heard or seen him are even higher, as he is the host of an “American Idol-Make the Band” kinda TV show in Brazil.

So the guy is pretty active, although it seems that on his free time, Edu K explores brega.
And this new EP comes with some heavyweight names on it:
Bonde do Role, Joao Brasil, Gato Preto, Caballo, Jaloo and more!!

This is their first Single:
Edu K Ft Bonde Do Rolê – Dança Da Bicha Manca

Album will be released for FREE (Courtesy of Generation Bass) for a VERY limited time, and then it will go on the usual platforms for you to support the release.

YOU CAN GRAB THE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS or THE WHOLE RELEASE – as you wish- HERE

Or before grabbing them you can hear the stream from SC

Wanna know more?
Big ups for both Generation Bass & Edu K who drop a banger of an EP.

From the typical rock ‘n roll-gone-Tecnobrega shuffle of “Putaria”

to the Tecnobrega meets house JOAO BRASIL collab “Nao Sou Brega, Eu Sou Chique”

The contagious fun of an awesome track like “Sanfona Treme Treme” can be dropped at any barbeque or sunny outdoor party anywhere in the world and people will start dancing.

Check the whole EP right here!!

Foxsky – The Whip (JEFF032)

Benzona — Thu, 16 May 2013 17:21:35 +0000

The world of dance music is at times, really missing melody. There are too many songs that just feed you one weird sound again and again and again. But that’s fine, they have their time and place but so does Foxsky‘s “The Whip.” This is music from a Zelda game of tomorrow, A Link to the Future 2099. You’ll find yourself air pianoing this song after the first listen. It’s 8 bit cinematic floor filler at moombahton tempo that ends with victorious, “we’re heading home, we won the mission” vibes.

If the original wasn’t enough, we have packed the release with huge remixes. Jeffree alumni ETC!ETC! and The Reef each give their own take on the “The Whip”, these are huge. We also find newcomer Vass with a massive trap remix that we can’t get off repeat, then we finish it off with Udachi’s dark bmore club influenced reimagination of Foxsky’s banger.

Foxsky – The Whip Preview – Out Thursday!

Astro — Mon, 13 May 2013 20:59:31 +0000

“We’re heading home, we’ve won the mission.” Such is the feeling we get from Foxysky’s “The Whip,” which lay amongst the hard-hitting synths of today’s dance music, but with an 8 bit twist featuring melodies from the Zelda game of tomorrow. A master of mixing expectation and surprise, it’s difficult not to air piano this song through your first listen.

And if the original wasn’t enough, we’ve packed this release with huge remixes. Jeffree’s alumni ETC!ETC! and The Reef each give their own take on the “The Whip” – these are huge. Newcomer VASS recreated “The Whip” as a massive trap remix that we can’t get off repeat. Udachi’s take is a dark bmore club influenced re-imagination.

Stream the new single below. Out Thursday on the Jeffree’s!
