Gilles Peterson - Erykah Badu The Booty Don’t Lie Edit

Just in time to kick off the Summer, Captain Planet has teamed up with 2 long-time collaborators (Zuzuka Poderosa & Raphael Futura) for a new Brazilian disco funk song, "Moqueca.” The song harkens back to Brazil's legendary funk parties in the 70's and early 80's - where soundsystems bumped legends like Tim Maia, Sandra Da Sa & Gilberto Gil - while infusing some fresh contemporary energy and extra thump for today's dancefloors. Zuzuka's bright vocals bounce over a bubbly bassline, syncopated percussion and wormy vintage synthesizers, while an additional punch is brought in the form of horn arrangements by the prolific maestro Todd Simon, another frequent Captain Planet collaborator. 

“Moqueca” takes inspiration from the Brazilian dish of the same name, a nationally famous fish stew that varies across the regions of Brazil. In her lyrics, Zuzuka talks about the origins and variations of Moqueca, starting with the style from Espirito Santo, her home state, and continuing to Moqueca Baiana, from Bahia, which incorporates African influences and ingredients. The result is a song that is as much an homage to Brazilian music as it is its food, culture and people. 

The song is the first single from Captain Planet's upcoming "Sounds Like Home” EP, which finds the producer turning towards more retro, analogue and live band elements, all with an eye towards his signature “Gumbo Funk” of global sounds. “Moqueca” is out on Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings May 27th.

Sorry to those of you who are noodling lovers - it's not really for me when I'm DJing so I took a little of the noodling out and increased the Chaka ratio on this classic piece. My little reworking of And The Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia).

BRZ45.041 - http://www.mrbongo.com/products/rosa-maria-deixa-nao-deixa-avenida-atlantica-7

Well, this is a BIG 7”, what can we say – two monster funk/bossa nova cuts from Rosa Maria, that we play every time we go near the turntables. This is the first time we have reissued both cuts from the original 7”, that came out in 1972 on Tapecar. Needless to say, extremely difficult to find now.

‘Deixa Nao Deixa’ has a distinct afro-latin feel to it thanks to the guitar, horn and percussion. Add in the catchy lead vocal, strong harmonies, funk/bossa drum grooves, shuffling percussion and the continuous build to the end, and you have one of the greatest Brazilian funk records ever pressed.

‘Avenida Atlantica’ doesn’t mess around either. Funk and bossa drum grooves alternate underneath the layers of vocals, horns, piano and percussion found on the flip.

Simple extension of a great track that I've always thought was a bit too brief (original is 2.30 long). This one was played on The Craig Charles Funk and Soul on 6 Music: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00046my

Lucas Arruda - Sambadi (Radio Edit)

Live and Direct from Quarantine pt. 2

Next up in the series is a remix of Sade "I Couldn't Love You More" featuring Armando Perez (of ÉSSO) on guitar, and artwork by Ivan Vazquez. This release is accompanied by a limited edition 11x14 print produced in conjunction with Vault Galerie (Pilsen, Chicago).

Of everything I've made, this is the first time where I feel comfortable calling myself a producer. It's all original music except the vibes which are a replayed 'sample' of Bobby Caldwell's "My Flame." I was attempting to channel that 80s Sade sound where every song felt like a beach. Which is exactly where I wanted to be during week 1 of lockdown. And weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

Early on, working with Armando & Ivan brought a sense of normalcy to the chaos. It began as a way to keep busy but quickly became something bigger than myself, or this remix. I hope that it brings you all a bit of that beach feeling, to the place we escaped to while creating it.
