Tall Black Guy is one of my favourite producers/beat makers. I could speak about how brilliant his work is but I would rather the beats do the "talking".

I hope you enjoy this mix of TBG flips, beats, blaps and edits that I put together just ahead of his Australian Tour.

first album by JOAO SELVA 

APRIL 2017 Favorite Recordings

Produced by PATCHWORKS

http://www.favoriterec.com/2017/04/joao-selva-natureza-lp/

Favorite Recordings proudly presents Natureza, first album of Joao Selva. The story of Natureza is made of the meeting between two passionate artists who are Jonathan « Matuto » Da Silva and Bruno « Patchworks » Hovart.
Born and raised in Ipanema and son of a pastor, Jonathan Da Silva grew up in a community of ex-prisoners and converted artists. He made his first guitar notes before his 10th birthday, under the watchful eye of Wanda Sa (muse of the bossa nova), and influenced by a father who in addition to his work, was also a true music lover with a collection, where black music, rock and classical meet. From the age of 18, Jonathan began a life of entertainer, traveling the world to offer shows for disadvantaged children and intensively practicing the Brazilian traditional music arts (Capoeira Angola, Maracatu, Samba de Roda, Coco de Roda…). It was later in France and in Lyon that he put down his instruments. There he formed the trio Forro de Rebeca in 2008, touring the all country and winning many praise in media. The trio recently joined forces with American producer Maga Bo on the project Sociedade Recreativa, whose album was released in 2016 on The Jarring Effects label.

Bruno Hovart is a recognized producer, multi-instrumentalist, and remixer. After passing through Angers, Birmingham and London, he’s based in Lyon since 2001. Bassist and guitarist for various bands, he switched to production in the mid-90s. Passionate about music and tireless creator, Bruno has practiced in almost every imaginable style, when it comes to groove music, collecting many aliases and projects for more than 10 years: Patchworks, Voilaaa, Uptown Funk Empire, Mr President, Taggy Matcher, Mr. Day, Hawa, John Milk, Lightnin 3, The Dynamics or Metropolitan Jazz Affair … Nothing resists and escapes his talent and production skills. Thus, when he discovered and met Jonathan and his music, Bruno saw an immediate opportunity to broaden the spectrum of his discography a little more, by looking at Brazil.
Beyond its traditional heritage, Brazil has always been a land of extremely varied music, influenced by the international scene. Soul, Jazz and American Pop did inspire many local stars such as Chico Buarque, Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, or Erasmo Carlos. Both fervent lovers of this movement and these names, it’s with the idea to pay them a faithful tribute, that Jonathan and Bruno began the Joao Selva adventure. Together they gave birth to Natureza and embark us for a trip into the heart of the Tropicalist Pop influences of Jorge Ben and Caetano Veloso, the intoxicating Funk of Tim Maia, and the social poetry of Vinicius de Moraes.

Lyrics:

I wasn’t thinking about next year or even next week
Moving by myself
No clue how happy we’d be
Tryna give you my time, treat you right
A life more complete
No clue how happy we’d be

Here goes,
Ready or not
Let’s see what I can see
Your finger reaches on out
Pulling me away
I’ll try to behave right
Say not just the right things
But what I’m feeling
What I’m feeling
I usually don’t fall quick 
At least not for portraits
Looks can be bought
But not your love, not your love

I wasn’t thinking about next year or even next week
Moving by myself
No clue how happy we’d be
Tryna give you my time, treat you right
A life more complete
No clue how happy we’d be

precious 
you left me feeling breathless 
began to worry but my heart was on the guest list 
the freshness that you exude in any room puts the blinders on my eyes 
only focal point is you 
is it too soon I haven't a clue 
timeing doesn't matter when the heart goes pitter-patter 
yo im open and braggadocious 
your type of Love just got me boasting Subtle and so contagious supportive ain't even famous yet 
you placed your bets already on a brothers odds 
the type of Faith some reserved strictly for the gods 
I do applaud the way you self-love with some the split 
teaching me that value 
pretty penny with the hole in it 
certainly Your Love ain't free 
got to give to receive 
your the apple im the seed 
got to work for the leaves with the Earth and the trees 
growing naturally
In the sun
Its our love
Love 
Love

Support from Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music

DJ Raff’s original ‘Resistencia EP’ won strong support from tastemakers like Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music who called it “…his best record ever.” and as well as interviewing DJ Raff he also featured a guest mix on his show. Further support came from Worldwide FM as ‘Resistencia’ was selected as one of ‘This Week’s Essential Tracks’ and featured in Resident Advisor’s ‘New Tracks’.

The ‘Resistencia Remixes’ is now out on digital and in Jan 2020 a special vinyl package with the originals and remixes will be out.

Dengue Dengue Dengue take the reins on remixing title track ‘Resistencia’ and focusing on the drums and bass they have turned it into a heavy 1:56am hypnotic banger. We were at Phonox in Brixton, London when they played it at 1:56am and the drop was met with cheers and whoops… tried and tested!

All round incredible talent El Buho, renowned for his beautifully textured production blending Latin sounds with electronic beats, has given ‘Memoria’ a bouncing bassline, shuffling beat and textured with strings results in an infectious track you can’t help but move to.

Argentinian producer Kaleema (who has previously worked with Chancha Via Circuito) played a version of her DJ Raff remix on a live session at Worldwide FM earlier this year. She has taken ‘Mundo Paralello’ and with added synths and strings turned it into a down-tempo dreamscape.
