Included in this compilation of original 60's and 70's Brazilian funk, soul and samba gems are some of Greg and Sean's favourite tracks that have been filling dance floors for years. Some of them are seeing their first official CD release. The music included in this compilation meets the same criteria as the songs you'd hear on any Sunday night at Black Betty: they move the crowd, and they're great songs.

Bem-Vindo! Brazilian Beat Brooklyn is a weekly party thrown at a bar called Black Betty just over the East River from Manhattan, in New York City. DJs Sean Marquand and Greg Caz preside over the long-running party (5 years) where they consistently play strictly vintage Brazilian records. In addition to the party and other DJ ventures, Sean is known as half of Embassy Sound Productions. He brought his team down to Brazil to help resurrect Black Rio legends Uniao Black for a new release. By invitation, Greg has DJ'd at some of the hottest Brazilian parties around the globe.

Available on CD.

Noriel Vilela - 16 Toneladas

Musically, the guitars can open up with brighter overdrive and room reverb to create that sunrise shimmer over the rhythm section, while the live drums stay tight and punchy to preserve danceable momentum. Vocally, the grit and swagger will remain but with slightly more melodic lift — less about struggle, more about revival. Think of standing proud at dawn, feeling the wild heartbeat of the woods.

Tim Maia, THE Brazilian Funk Soul Godfather was the real thing. His 1970 debut album introduced his audacious talent, as well as North American soul and funk musical influences, forever changing Brazilian popular music. His legendary appetites sought out carnal AND spiritual fulfillment in equal measure.  He bought 100 hits of LSD and handed them out to the staff of his record label. At the height of his mid-70s success he joined the Cult of Racional Energy; watching for spaceships while wearing only white clothes and playing only white instruments! Yet the two albums he recorded for the Cult are among his best. His songs search for love, and they dig into the existential. His own lyrics say it best: “I am so groovy now and I don’t care!”
