Major Lazer - Bubble Butt - Tenko Remash (JSTJR EDIT)

2014 is finally here and that means the Upper Cuts series is now officially one year old. After two seasons have passed and 20 tracks of great global club music sounds from all around the world have been released, it's time to keep raising the bar as a whole new season starts. 

For the first track of the Upper Cuts Season 3 we teamed up with one of the most promising young producers to arrive to the zouk bass scene: the one and only JSTJR (pronounced 'gesture'). The energetic beatmaker's distinct style fuses influences from all kinds of tropical-flavored genres, such as dancehall, jungle, moombah or even trap, making him one of the most unpredictable yet consistent artists of this developing scene. 

His latest creation - Panamania feat. Ma-Less - is a zouk bass banger if we ever heard one. Pounding drums and thick basslines provide the backbone for sexy, winding and hypnotic vocal samples to do their magic on the dance floor, while spaced-out synths proceed to make bodies bend and twist in all kinds of new shapes. 

Panamania feat. Ma-Less also serves as a powerful introduction to Enchufada's upcoming zouk bass compilation, scheduled to be dropping this February. 'We Call It Zouk Bass Volume I' will feature this and many other tracks by some of the artists that are (and have been) defining this exciting new genre since the very beginning. Enjoy this tasty appetizer for our upcoming 10-track-long compilation of slowed-down sexy beats and highly addictive basslines, featuring new original cuts by Buraka Som Sistema, Branko, KJs, Dance Kill Move and many others.

JSTJR - Panamania (feat. Ma-Less)

After dropping the highly-anticipated successor to the hugely successful ‘Time Out EP’ and ‘Drums, Slums and Hums’ mixtape, Branko now puts a new spin on his latest solo effort ‘Control EP’ with the help of remixers Milangeles, Castro and Poté, as well as MaxX & EJ, the winners of the remix competition hosted by Do Androids Dance in partnership with AIAIAI headphones. 

Teaming up with Algerian-British-Norwegian Yadi led to the frenetic sonic fusion of the original ‘Control’ track; equal parts Egyptian-inspired temptress and empowering anthem atop a club-friendly bassline. That same energy was captured by Italian duo Milangeles and taken up a notch as the unpredictable Global Club Music explorers ramp up the BPM and turn it into a 145BPM dancefloor stomper with the help of Branko himself. After that energetic take on the original, Welsh producer Castro slows things down and twists the track into a colourful and personal take on moombah rhythms. Fresh off his Upper Cuts debut, young London-based producer Poté dives into a dense kuduro-influenced workout just oozing with basslines, while contest winners MaxX & EJ warp the original into a 140BPM trap-leaning banger, which breaks down into a heavy zouk bass drop that gives the remix a tropical feel without losing grasp of the dancefloor. 

After pulling influences from all corners of the globe to create the original ‘Control EP’, Branko now passes the torch to a new generation of Global Club Music producers that find new and exciting ways of carrying on his tropical legacy.

"This mix features 10 artists (myself included) of either Sinhala, Tamil, or Burgher ethnic descent who trace their roots to the island known as Sri Lanka. I start and end the mix with classical Sri Lankan drums often used in “peraheras,” which is a Sinhala Buddhist festival that happens in Kandy, Sri Lanka close to my mother’s hometown with adorned elephants, dancers, and drummers. I weaved Sinhala Kandyan drums, Carnatic arrangements, tabla, Indian ragas  into a more experimental exploration of electronic music including drum n bass, UKG, pop, techno, Tamil & Telegu remixes, and more. Diaspora island artists featured on the mix include M.I.A., Goldtooth, Elsz, Surusinghe, Perera Elsewhere, Priya Ragu, IYRE (who still lives in Sri Lanka), Krithi (whose grandmother is Indian Tamil x Sri Lankan), myself (who grew up between Sri Lanka and Thailand). Our island endured a 30-year civil war with little resolve, with minority communities including Tamil and Muslim islanders bearing the brunt of divisive nationalism on the part of a Sinhala Buddhist nationalist government. I am very conscious of these dynamics, the trauma of folks on the island and in the diaspora, and the long journey to reconciliation and healing. Through music, we hopefully do our small part in weaving stories of solidarity amongst Lanka’s communities whether they live on the island or in diaspora. "

After Branko kickstarted the Upper Cuts series with his stunning Njena Reddd Foxxx collaboration and Buraka Som Sistema contributed with the genre-defining Zouk Flute, now it’s time for another Buraka founding member to enter the series. We’re talking about Riot, the eclectic DJ and producer who started the global kuduro revolution with Branko and the rest of the crew, and is still turning heads on the Portuguese drum&bass and dubstep scene.

Since it was up to him to close the first Upper Cuts season in style, he decided to surprise everyone with a personal take on the fresh Zouk Bass genre by fusing slow Caribbean-influenced beats with the fast-paced rhythm of drum&bass. This unlikely blend has produced some amazing results and is already finding its way into the digital DJ bags of several prominent artists such as DJ Zinc, Toddla T, Brodinski, Nick Catchdubs, Dave Nada and Astronomar, among many others rushing to show support.
