Branko Presents: Enchufada Na Zona

Sentah (feat. Bryte)

We all want to be free and have a good time. We want a few laughs, a few joints, and a few drinks among those we love. But, we know we're not going to be able to all our lives. Influenced by equal parts bossa nova, Memphis rap, and Etienne de Crecy, I wanted to create the sound of mai tais, hippie speedballs, and landlocked exotica. Here is a couple of good days we’ll be able to look back on, and forward to 🌺🍹🗿

Encontrar is Rafael (DJ Raff)'s first full-length album in almost seven years. The last one was Movimiento, released in October 2017. It coincides with his seven years living with his family in London.

Encontrar speaks of concluding a long process. It is about the culmination of a constant search to understand himself and to know who he is creatively. The perspective gained from living in a place so different and far from where he grew up (Santiago, Chile) has helped him find his sound, connect especially with his surroundings, and create a unique language to develop and express his ideas.

The songs on Encontrar were created in his home studio in South London during the post-pandemic period, between 2022 and 2023. After several years of producing many singles, remixes, and EPs, which were shorter and more focused processes, he decided to embark on an album. This longer story closes one cycle and paves the way for another entirely different with a renewed perspective.

Eventually is lovely. Eventually is fire! Those are not our words, though, but rather the personal opinions of BBC Radio 1 DJ B.Traits and world-renowned producer, DJ and tastemaker Diplo – respectively – who upon hearing Branko’s latest track just had to run to Twitter to tell the world how much they loved it. And the praise goes on in the comments section of Red Bull Music Academy’s Soundcloud page, where Eventually (feat. Alex Rita & Bison) was featured on the ’20 Before 15’ free download series and (at least) one fan claims to have played it 300 times. We believe him.

Fusing the rhythmically-charged beats of afro-house with compelling marimba melodies and the uplifiting indie vocals of Okapii’s Alex Rita, Eventually marks the beginning of a whole new musical journey for the globetrotting producer, musician and Enchufada head honcho Branko. After recording the track at Red Bull Music Academy Studios Copenhagen, the overwhelming response it got inspired him to take a whole new approach to his work that would define the next few months of his life. Deciding to record a whole album while travelling across the world, he connected with local artists from some of the most exciting music scenes around, and recording the voices, beats and samples that will eventually become his highly-anticipated debut album ‘Atlas’.

NYC-based producer Tony Quattro jumps in on the remix, expertly distilling the original’s essence and turning it into a dancefloor-focused anthem fit to rock the world’s most tropical DJ sets, by introducing some extra bass weight and heavy ballroom percussion. This only the first stop on an epic journey that has taken Branko to New York, Amsterdam, Cape Town and São Paulo on a mission to show how global this Global Club Music scene can truly get, while simultaneously raising the bar for all dance music with a cultural edge.

Branko - Eventually (feat. Alex Rita & Bison)

“Echoes of What We Were” captures the raw essence of late–night emotions, blending deep house grooves with storytelling that lingers like shadows after the light fades.
This live radio version brings an unfiltered energy, where every beat feels alive and every echo carries a memory of what once was.
A soundtrack for sleepless nights, neon streets, and the unspoken words that still resonate within us.
