Tarraxo is a Portugal born musical genre slow vibe who came from Angolan Tarrachinha, it has a similar sonority, but is a bit more energized and aggressive. As in Tarrachinha, Tarraxo has its way on how to dance. wich is mostly moving your hips and legs in tune that we call it "Reboladinha" followed with steps. It's all on the sound we hear and feel.
Fodencia is a Portuguese, and brother of tarraxo genre born on the Ghettos of Lisbon that is more aggressive. With a lot of percussion like bongo, djembe, and all that shi... hahaha
with an aggressive and sometimes saturated kick accompanied by a good bass, little melody and some worked vocal loops.
The way to dance Fodencia? Same as in Tarraxo but a bit more hardcore.
Is like the go crazy version of tarraxo, cause the percussion with the saturated kick.. push you to move more your hips making you feel the Ghetto aggressiveness mixed with African energy.

Rip Knoxx is the true definition of a music dissident that not only deserts from the core scene where he came to go further in influences and experimentation, he embraces adventure in order to take up another battle against stagnation. Bringing innovation and useful development to the force that moves new languages of the club scene coming from Baltimore as a deep influence to the youngest artists.

AyyMello brings some of the most unique styles stemming from his background in the Baltimore Club Dance and Music scenes. Originally born in Brooklyn, NY, Mello migrated to Baltimore, MD at an early age. With embracing Baltimore, his love for the city's signature music and dancing became second-nature, and lead him to following this path into his career today.

AyyMello, now a self-taught producer of Baltimore Club Music, began to expand his talent by making notable songs as "Kangaroo Booty" and "Bmore Horns 2017" featuring Thunderbird Juicebox. Under the mentoring of Baltimore Club legend, Michael "Mc Mumblez" Foster, under management of the talent agency Bmore Than Dance, LLC. In AyyMello's rookie year of DJing, he performed at several historical events throughout the city [Artscape (2016-2018), Light City Festival (2017-2018), Red Bull Amaphiko After Party featuring Blaqstarr (2017)] and still going strong with weekly and monthly bookings within the city.
 
Coming from being introduced to the sound of Baltimore Club in the DJ K-Swift era up until now, AyyMello's sound incorporates the rawness from the new generation he grew up in and the original "groove" that made him fall in love with it in the first place. After years of involvement with B-More Than Dance as a competitor in the annual “King of Baltimore Club Music Dance Competition, he finally accomplished one of his childhood dreams and won the King of Baltimore 8 championship match in 2018. Now as a mentor, instructor, and one of the DJs within the agency, his motivation to spread awareness and knowledge to the new generation coming into what he has experienced is being realized. "One day, the city will get the groove back, but at the end of the day, they'll hear what WE sound like," stated by Mello. If not already familiar, the world will soon know who he is and we hope that you stay tuned for what's in store.
