After bringing you cutting edge tropical sounds from established global bass artists like Buraka Som Sistema, Branko or Dengue Dengue Dengue!, it's time for the Upper Cuts series to bring you something completely new. And by new we mean really new. 

We were sitting in the office going through the mountain of promos in our inbox, when we found an email by a British producer named Castro. We opened it, not knowing what to expect, and what we found was Toot Toot, one of the most addictive zouk bass tunes we've heard since the whole craze started in the Boiler Room. We just had to have it here and now. 

Join us in welcoming Castro, a British producer whose background as a percussionist and love of ethnic rhythms gives his tracks a distinctive bounce, which he complements with an extensive knowledge of the dancefloor's demands. In the latest track on the Upper Cuts series, Castro pairs up heavy drums with vibrant synths and colorful melodies, all under the hypnotic 90bpm pace that Buraka helped to popularize, with some moombah elements and vocal samples thrown in for good measure. 

Besides having one of the most addictive beats we've heard in months, Castro's first single Toot Toot is one of those tracks that just inspires us to have a good time. Let's play this one loud and bring the fun back to the dancefloor.

Castro - Toot Toot

The UK producer and percussionist Castro is back to Enchufada after his first track on the Upper Cuts free download series. Following on the success of the hybrid zouk bass anthem that was Toot Toot, this young artist on the rise teamed up with likeminded Global Club Music explorers Branko and Poté at the RBMA Studios in London to create a 2-track follow-up EP for Lisbon’s most tropical label. 

'Bipolar' is the name of the producer’s new release, which allows us to dive deeper into Castro’s unique musical universe. Easily shifting gears between genres and tempos – which he firmly imprints with his highly percussive, festive and tropical approach – this young producer on the rise now gifts us with two vibrant tracks where he simultaneously explores and subverts genres like UK Funky or Zouk Bass. 

Ragged Bulls presents us with an explosive peak-time club track fit for global-minded dancefloors, where its syncopated drums and looping horn melodies instantly transport listeners to a Carnival mindset, while on Twitch (feat. Branko & Poté) the tropical trio bring the BPM down to zouk speed to create a heavily percussive and hypnotic number that’s sure to delight fans of the slower side of the Global Club Music scene. 

With so many convincing musical arguments from this Cardiff-based artist, don’t be surprised if you see and hear a lot more from Castro on future Enchufada releases.

After releasing their third studio album ‘Buraka’, Lisbon’s most tropical band Buraka Som Sistema took a break from touring the world to invite some of their favorite producers from the Enchufada family to rework their new songs. The results were as unpredictable and varied as they were absolutely captivating, with some of Global Club Music’s most talented beatmakers contributing their own vision to this unprecedented – and 100% free – 6-track remix EP.

If there’s one thing we like is creating a relationship with the artists who make the music we love to hear and release. Cardiff-based artist Castro is one of the best examples of this, as the young producer and percussionist sent us an email back in 2013 with a single demo and a request that we listened to it. We listened – and boy, are we glad we did – and ended up releasing it as Toot Toot on the Upper Cuts free downloads series. It was, and still is, one of the weirdest and most captivating zouk bass tracks we’ve heard so far, and it provided the foundation on which we kept building, eventually releasing the 2-track EP ‘Bipolar’ which he now follows-up with his proper debut EP ‘The Subtle Approach’, making the journey from unknown bedroom producer to promising young artist in a heartbeat. 

If his unpredictable takes on zouk bass were the starting point of our relationship with Castro, now there’s a whole lot more happening inside Owen Sheppard’s studio. The slow cadence of these modern kizomba offshoots and moombah hybrids naturally attracted the young percussionist’s attention, but as he grows as an artist he proceeds to fully dive into the Global Club Music world to tackle all sorts of rhythms and influences. However, as much as they have evolved since then, intricately-constructed beats, colorful melodies and a healthy mix of humour and sensitivity – all of it infused with that tropical aroma – are still very much at the heart of Castro’s tracks.

The Subtle Approach is the definitive introduction to Castro’s own sonic universe, where a profound understanding of genres and scenes like Zouk Bass, Moombah, UK Funky or Bass Music provides him with the foundation to build a hybrid sound that manages to touch on these influences while becoming something unique. From the breezy EP opener Cobwebs’ entrancing steel drums melodies to the vibrant and cheerful dancefloor-focused collaboration with Amsterdam-based vocalist Zanillya on Ring Ring, the frantic percussive energy of Let Me Go or Bam Bam’s weird looping vocal samples, the producer’s debut EP is a true sonic rollercoaster that proudly showcases some of the best things that can be found inside the Global Club Music scene.

LYRICS
6.40 am and we’re awake
TIme is oh so slow, but we’re ok

Now we’ve given it up, given it up, giving a fuck
And we’re living it up, living it up, living it up
In this town we do it our own way

All we do is skate

8.30 pm - I wish you stayed
Is this life or is this just a phase?

Now we’ve given it up, given it up, giving a fuck
And we’re living it up, living it up, living it up
In this town we do it our own way

All we do is skate
We stay out too late
Give us all a break
We just wanna skate
