@deejayflorentino delivers a "sensual" peak-summer mix that accelerates into full-pelt power.

"I made this mix for the summer, for the moments when you’re just about to come back from the pool or beach and you’re getting ready for the night ahead. Nothing too serious conceptually, starting a bit more sensual and gradually becoming more intense. It's a fun one!"

As his trademark producer tag goes: “DJ K is no longer producing. He is doing witchcraft!” — a reference to his style of funk mandelão called bruxaria (Portuguese for “witchcraft”). Like mandelão, the Brazilian artist concocts sampled sounds — anything from Arabic strings or baile funk’s trademark whistle sound (assovio) to a child’s voice — into a pointillistic tune stuck in an evil-sounding key. He overlaps this with MC vocals and the giggling of pixies and imps, adding jackhammer techno kicks that sends everything ragdolling. But the key to DJ K’s bruxaria is a high-pitched frequency that mimics the ringing sensation of the popular street drug lança-perfume (AKA loló), and makes Aphex Twin’s 'Ventolin' sound like ambient music to sleep to. K’s music is a black hole to be sucked into, its components hitting on-cue each time but with the angle titled and stakes raised. 

On his second album, DJ K builds on the international acclaim of his debut, turning his attention to legacy and social change.

"I made a mix with my songs from the new album, of course, but my main focus was to include exclusive tracks that I haven’t released on any platform yet. I hope you enjoy them - these will be some of my upcoming works. I also added the tracks I played the most at Helipa throughout all these years. Hope you like it!"
