Various Artists - Do It Now Recordings Sampler 1

The Brazilian duo LUCHI & RAIZER (L + R) is formed by André Luchi (DJ / Producer / Remixer) and Daniel Raizer (Musician / Producer / Remixer). In 2017 L+R came together to produce a project dedicated to House Music and its subgenres: Afro, Deep, Jazzy and Soulful. Another strand that the duo also invests is Breakbeat, such as Broken Beat and Nu Jazz.
All with inspired grooves, percussions, organic rhythms, delicate harmonies and vocals. The duo fuses the modernist rigidity of the beat with the gentleness and organicity of the nuances of the instruments, creating a charming whole.
