Future Classics & Forgotten Treasures — Selections for the Adventurous Music Listener (Founded in 2007 by Lexis)

Far Out Recordings was founded in 1994 by London DJ and record producer Joe Davis. His longstanding and insatiable passion for Brazilian music, fuelled by his initial love of the jazz, funk and soul ubiquitous on the Rare Groove scene in 1980s London, took him to Brazil first as a teenager. It was there that his enthusiasm for record-collecting led him to some of his musical heroes and the eventual formation of musical bonds and close friendships. Joe’s early discoveries led to him becoming the UK’s foremost authority on Brazilian music, much of it little-known here before his enthusiastic endorsements began to ring out across the music scene. This led to the inevitable, and the keen young music fan and DJ with an entrepreneurial flair founded Far Out Recordings.

The label’s aim from the start has been to bring the sound of Brazil to the world – to showcase the history and culture of a land bursting with creativity and energy – from the classic to the cutting edge. There have been numerous releases from both new and established Brazilian artists including legends such as Azymuth, Joyce, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Clara Moreno and Binario, to name a few. 

Far Out also releases music from musicians and producers around the world who share the label’s appreciation for Brazilian music and culture. Alongside Brazilian music, the label is also well known for its longstanding association with underground dance music, having collaborated with some of the most acclaimed and accomplished electronic producers of our times. This had led to a rich plethora of pioneering and innovative dance and beats music, forging a future for the oft-neglected role of Brazil and its rhythms in the complex dance music diaspora of the UK and US, with 12" remixes and original productions from the likes of Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Dego, Andres, Marcellus Pittman, Kirk Degiorgio, Nicola Conte, A.D. Bourke, Henry Wu and Rick Willhite among many others.

Joe's crate-digging mentality has also been the driving force behind another crucial aspect of Far Out's work - unearthing forgotten masterpieces and once impossible to find records. This has led to reissues from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin’s catalogue of lost gems, resulting in some of the finest Brazilian reissues you’re likely to find. While this remains a relatively small percentage of the label's output, every release is brought to you with the utmost love and care, ensuring painstaking perfection in the realms of sound, aesthetic and physicality.

Many of the artists on the Far Out roster regularly tour worldwide, playing across Europe, the USA and the Far East. Look out for them in your town, spreading the joy, the warmth and the restless creativity of Brazilian music and all that Far Out seeks to represent. “After more than twenty years of Far Out, we are only just beginning to realise our ambitions” surmises Joe. “We are still learning about production, recording and music, always.. and we are fortunate to be surrounded by the most exciting group of musicians and producers who are making consistently brilliant music. We are still intent on finding new stars, but we are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and our formidable artist roster.”

SHORT BIO
Fure Boccamara è un rapper e artista visivo figura molto interessante nel panorama italiano per la sua poliedricità, motivazione e spinta espressiva. Fin da bambino dimostra una particolare propensione per il disegno e la musica, mondi paralleli in cui spesso si rifugia per fuggire da condizioni di disagio che lo mettono alla prova e lo rendono singolare già in giovinezza.
Di origini molto semplici, Fure coltiva via via sempre più i propri interessi e il proprio talento, oltrepassando fasi di difficoltà, di ribellione e vita ai margini, mosso da una forte voglia di riscatto e di gridare al mondo la propria esistenza.
Il primo grande battesimo artistico avviene quando Fure incontra l'Hip Hop per la prima volta nel 1996, avvicinandosi al writing. In questo movimento culturale trova una dimensione e un riferimento, grazie al quale mette ancor di più a fuoco le tecniche per migliorare se stesso ed esprimere il proprio talento, incanalando in maniera intelligente e costruttiva la propria rabbia senza perdere di vista i propri valori. Comprende più saldamente l'importanza di avere uno stile originale, come mantenere fierezza e nobiltà pur venendo "dal basso" e a sfruttare i pochi mezzi che si hanno a disposizione per creare qualcosa di significativo.
