It is always a pleasure to review a track from a friend, especially when this friend is someone you know for almost 20 years: Bernardo Pinheiro, back in the days in our hometown, Belém do Pará, used to make a then beardless young dinosaur dance like a maniac with his classy samba-infused Drum N’ Bass DJ sets, but now, featuring a different sonority, we can lose ourselves to dance to something less chaotic and turbulent, more suitable to our current age.

Over the years, Bernardo finally decided to use his long-held Brazilian Funk & Boogie influences to evolve as a multifaceted and versatile artist, establishing himself as the most influential name in the Nu Disco scene in the North of the country. The national (and at a certain point international) fame came when his works were released on the mighty label Barefoot Beats.

For his debut on the interesting Cocada Music, Bernardo delivers a high-quality single called “Run Free” in which he showcases the absurd evolution he has experienced as a producer, skilfully bringing together a part of his affluent music background and blending Tim Maia with Azymuth, Marcos Valle, and Lincoln Olivetti in order to provide something with, yes, an old school aura, but extremely fresh and invigorating.

The Original and Disco Mixes come accompanied by a stunning remix made with love by Rio de Janeiro-based Carrot Green. His Spacefunk Dub interpretation covers “Run Free” with a layer of cosmic elements as if Daniele Baldelli were buoyantly flirting with the concoction of Samba and Stardust, and the result is a slower but highly danceable piece. For the fans of modern Rare Grooves out there, this is a must-have, peeps!

Hot on the heels of Guinu’s modern Brazilian jazz-funk opus Palagô LP, comes an exceptional remix 12” of four standout album tracks. For the A1, Jose Marquez flips the title track into a percussion-heavy and hypnotic Afro-Latin house burner, a masterful future classic of a mix that feels all but destined for late night Louie Vega or Osunlade sets. Faze Action harken back to their early-2000s vibe with their loungey beat-driven reimagining of Haja Fé.

On the flip, RNT stalwart Diogo Strausz takes the angular Electromandinga into the stratosphere, with anthemic synth melodies, rousing bloco percussion and interstellar vocal treatments. Rounding out the EP, well-loved Brazilian producer Carrot Green gives Porão de Ferro an 80s boogie makeover, complete with dubbed out vocals and funky synth bass work over bouncy analog beats.

System 108 resident Lipelis teams up with Carrot Green from Rio de Janeiro to create a dreamy, summer vibed EP simply dedicated to them both: Leo & Caito, with naming and artwork playfully inspired by Sertanejo genre standards. 

The duo emerged in early 2020 on the streets of Rio and started to jam same night in the studio of Carlos, who is affiliated with all cool gangs of the Brazilian dance scene. Just like on Lipelis's critically acclaimed Function As A Meaning EP (a System 108 instant classic by now!), things took off by themselves: intuitive sampling of chords taken from Brazilian gospel found some unexpected modular synth tweaking. For good! 

"Rolando Nascer do Sol" is THE track, that the duo is particularly proud of. In the words of Lipelis, who has once spinned it at Gop Tun carnival party, in a b2b set w/ Millos Kaiser -  'it produced an unforgettable euphoric effect". 

Having witnessed how all the tracks work on the dancefloors not only in Brazil, we are uber-excited to finally release this 4-track EP! Digital comes first and vinyl will follow.

Que Sakamoto and Carrot Green have teamed up on international waters to present an EP featuring two originals and two remixes, released by São Paulo's Gop Tun label. Their collaborative work draws inspiration from their shared experience at the Bruma Festival, a three-day music event set amidst the lush mountains in Silva Jardim, a two-hour drive from Rio de Janeiro. In Sakamoto + NT's original, they blend Japanese-infused breakbeats with Brazilian carnival samples and the distinctive vocals of Eryy. Carrot Green's contribution, "Domingo a Noite em Silva Jardim," offers an arpeggiated journey through the misty vibes of Silva Jardim city, inspired by the festival's Sunday night dancefloor. Beyond their originals, Que Sakamoto and Carrot Green also provide fresh interpretations of each other's tracks, with different perspectives on each original song. Dive in!
