Enchufada head honcho Branko really does rack up the air miles on his material. His debut solo album ATLAS arrives on September 4th - the result of a musical pilgrimage across 3 continents, collaborating with 20+ artists at the Red Bull Studios in Amsterdam, Cape Town, New York, Lisbon and São Paulo. That final stop-off saw him buddy up with baile funk superstar MC Bin Laden and nascent tag-team, Marginal Men.

Today we present one of the fruits of that meet up. "Louca" is minimal in its approach; still dressed in Afro-Brazilian pitter-patter and no less sprightly, but drizzled with a near-grime bleakness rather than bleepy pandemonium.

What's more, on September 4th we'll be joining forces with Red Bull São Paulo in celebration of Branko dusting off his LP. Branko, MC Bin Laden and Marginal Men will be joined by local starlet, Viní, for a special broadcast from the centre of Brazil's most populous city. Swing over to the session page for more information.

If you don’t know who Rastronaut is by now you haven’t been paying attention, but it’s okay because that’s about to change. The Lisbon DJ, producer, Hard Ass Sessions resident and all-around Enchufada powerhouse breaks out of his production hiatus to deliver Flexx, a track that sounds like it was built for the Hard Ass Sessions from start to finish. Who needs a breakdown when you can just keep adding cuica samples and weird synths to the track?

This heavyweight 130bpm club track is about to make its way into your set like a hungry piranha looking for its next meal, so don’t even try to fight it. Play this one loud and destroy your local dancefloor.

If you're anything like us then you're probably going nuts over the sheer amount of incredible music that is coming out of São Paulo's baile funk scene. As Rio lost its monopoly over the genre, a host of new producers started popping up everywhere in Brazil bringing all sorts of new influences into this genre that is going through a whole new golden age.

This is where VINÍ comes in, a São Paulo-based producer who's quickly becoming one of the stand-out names in the scene propelled by a strong debut EP on Daniel Haaksman's Man Recordings - as well as a spot on Branko's recent Boiler Room album release party - where the 22-year-old fuses baile funk's recognisable rhythm with all sorts of influences from grime to electro, creating a very personal sound in the process.

Preferido sees VINÍ solidify his style with a straightforward baile funk anthem, complete with looping vocal chops, hard-hitting beats, bleepy synths, motorcicle samples and the mandatory vocal hook that will get stuck in your brain for weeks. Basically everything you need to go wild on a dancefloor, which is precisely what this track is meant to do.

Every now and then there’s a song that becomes synonymous with the style it represents. These are the defining tracks of these movements, the ones that immediately captivate listeners and make DJs see it as their mission on Earth to play it to as many people as possible. Afro-house is one such movement, and while the world is still dancing to genre-defining anthems like Dotorado’s African Scream, there’s always another huge hit being shared online and making dancers and DJs alike go nuts. Sam Blans’ absolutely epic Shout Out Gaia Beat is definitely one of those tracks.

What started as a homage to the essential Angolan producer Gaia Beat from the Dutch artist has evolved into a crucial afro-house anthem that every self-respecting DJ needs to play, period. Simply titled Shout Out Gaia Beat, this track by Sam Blans has already reached 100k plays on Soundcloud with its furious syncopated beats and the ever present marimba loops, reminiscent of Gaia Beat’s unique and addictive creations in this style. It perfectly brings together the urgency of club music with the cultural relevance of emergent peripheral scenes, making it a perfect fit for Enchufada’s global view of electronic music.

As the 6th Upper Cuts season is almost over, we couldn’t help but raise the energy just a little bit more and give our listeners one of our favorite tracks in recent memory. If you still need that one track to figure out what this crazy afro-house thing is all about, then download this one and you’re all sorted.
