"Baile das Antigas" (“parties of vintage funk”), have been very popular in Brazil lately, with a new generation of music listeners discovering the vast and complex musical history of baile funk. As a genre, it emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1980s, mixing up Miami bass, atabaque rhythms, LA techno hop, latin freestyle, euro house, electronic body music and rap into an irresistible mash up. The recent success of Brazilian producer Vhoor´s  album “Baile” and particularly the “Se Tá Solteira” single - all referring to the early days of funk - have proven that the old sound is currently the newest shit.

For my “Baile Das Antigas” mix I dug deep in my collection of funk vinyls, which I´ve collected in all those years travelling to Brazil. Having not listened to many of the funk vinyls from my vault for years, I discovered amazing tracks which I never knew I had ! E.g. I never knew that the 1992 rave classic “A Fine Day” by Opus III was big in the Rio funk scene. Most of all however I was thrilled to discover various traces of Kraftwerk sounds in various tracks, proving the continuous musical conexão Alemañha – Brazil! 

My selection is covering a release span from 1988 to 1999 and the majority of tracks I put in my mix can´t be found on any music streaming platforms or online shops, hence the vinyl crackling.  The mix features, amongst others, rare tracks from Grandmaster Raphael, the great Cashmere rework of Trio´s “Da Da Da”, various montagems and the OG track by DJ Emerson which first used the Dire Straits sax sample that pops up in funk tracks until today. Check it out!

Baile Das Antigas Mix (2022)

'This mix was originally recorded for Valentine's Day way back in 2014 - an adventurous journey through romantic and tempting old disco gems for this special day. Somehow this mix disappeared and was thought to be lost forever. Luckily, I recently found it again on some dusty compact disc and decided to share it with you again. I dedicate this mix ​​to Laura.'
