Lua Preta (@luapreta) is an Angolan/Polish duo that has taken the global bass scene by storm in the past few years. Since the end of 2017 they managed to put out a series of successful releases, play a great deal of well-received shows at festivals and clubs all over Europe (plus two gigs in New York), shoot a bunch of music videos (one of them being filmed in Lisbon) and catch attention of @brankoofficial himself who remixed their song for his renowned 'Enchufada Na Zona' compilation. In 2020 they went on to prepare a debut album called 'Diaspora' - a seven tracks collection showcasing their characteristic catchy Afro sound which included 'Baile Lotus' (played by Diplo in his BBC Radio 1 show), 'Vim Para Vencer' (collaboration with South African rapper Robin Thirdfloor) and 'Drena' (featured in an official Spotify playlist by Adidas).

Now five of the songs from the last year's release come back with new versions prepared by producers from five different countries. United States' @tonyquattro highlights Ms. Gia's vocals from 'Drena' and freshens up the beat by adding guitar riffs and swirling flutes. @djraff, one of the most important electronic music artists from Chile, skilfully slows down 'Baile Lotus' and in an unexpected turn of events pairs it with cumbia turning the track into a Latin-flavoured beauty. Further into the release, Africa's star producer @gafacci adds his signature style to the instrumental side of 'Ao Som Dos Homens' - but don't worry: Ghanaian's famous 'shut your mouth I beg eh' vocal hook is very much there.

'Diaspora Remixes' finishes off with two remixes by European artists. Firstly, original vocals take the centre stage again in the club-ready rework of 'Sente Batida' by respected Italian producer @lamentomusic. Last but not least, French drum master @ruffkaval provides a perfect closing track with his wonderfully crafted version of 'RTE' which has been enriched by additional thumping patterns and... birdsongs.

Lua Preta - Baile Lotus (DJ Raff Remix)

We´re super proud to release the new single by Berlin based crew La Byle. It´s called "Txê" (prounounced "Tshé") it´s a track inspired both by rasteirinha and salsa choke rhythms. Yes, this is polymath baile funk straight out of the German capital, embodied by the group consisting of Sera Kalo, Cara Muru, Pitota, Babix and Luana Madikera.

Obviously, the Portuguese and English lyrics in "Txê" are all about moving hips. Like Sera Kalo sings: "You get caught up in a daze, when you watch her body shake, and she whine up in your face, youz a sucker for the txê!", the same applies for the Portuguese lyrical parts.

With its juicy lyrics, the irresistible groove and a ultra heavy kick drum resembling the mighty surdo drum, dominant in Brasilian samba rhythms, "Txê" is a tune that will shake many dancefloors and parties this summer.

The original track comes with a killer remix by Daniel Haaksman, who added some "Gasolina" inspired spice to the original version.

So now get into the boss mode, shaking!

His EP on Man Recordings, titled "Rua Rosa, 24," showcases Pedro Da Linha's love for rural clubbing. The tracks on the EP are inspired by an ongoing research of popular music in his hometown Lisbon and working with sounds, tunes and chords that are not so frequent to hear on a clubbing night. From accordions to high pitched voices, all gets blended in a warm and round beat that takes on a journey through several neighbourhoods of the Portuguese capital.

Pedro Da Linha's music is characterized by its exploratory nature and its focus on traditional and popular music structures and sounds. On “Rua Rosa, 24”, he delves even deeper into this interest, using his music to explore the anthropological roots of Portuguese music.
