MAKON - Hottest New BrasIlian Black Eletronic Music 



Fabio was always looking for different electronic sounds. But in 1997, on listening to "Damn Fresh" and "Super Sharp Shooter" of a DJ Zinc's vinyl, he had a radical change in his music style, together with MC Mario Z, definitely adopting Drum and Bass as their music and life style. With full knowledge of studio equipments, Bruno made incursions in one of the best recording studios in Rio. After a few years working as a second engineer he had a chance to produce and release some of his tracks and remixes. Now Fabio Machado and MC Mario Z are dedicating themselves in producing new sounds, together with Bruno LT. Versatility may have a wider mean when we talk about Makon's activities with electronic music and audio techniques. Their full dedication led them to work with great names of international and Brazilian music. Makon's passion for turntablism makes them being disputaded as the official attraction of many rave parties in Brazil.

Tomba Orquestra comes from another time and space. A world of soundtracks for B&W movies that do not exist, lost somewhere among the mid of the last century and the contemporary age, where one whistles jazz and trip hop and, eventually, a samba at smoky corners. Tomba Orquestra belongs, as a matter of fact , to another universe, but Tomba exists in our reality, 2013, Rio de Janeiro... or, more precisely, Niteroi (Brazil). It was there where Bruno Marcus, the mind behind not only the "Orquestra" (orchestra) but also the studio and label that gives name to the project, conceived his ideal band, achieved with a lot of creativity, eclecticism and a big help from his friends. The result is Tomba Orquestra, the album, which sounds at once old and contemporaneous, reverent and innovative. Old and reverent in capturing influences from past decades, contemporaneous and innovative in the treatment that gives to these influences and also to the format itself - it is a virtual album, which can be listened online or downloaded at http://tombaorquestra.bandcamp.com, although there is also a "physical" version in CD format, released as an independent album.

A Tomba Orquestra vem de outro tempo e outro lugar. Um mundo de trilhas sonoras para filmes em P&B que não existem, perdido em algum ponto entre meados do século passado e a época atual, onde assobia-se jazz e trip hop e eventualmente um sambinha em esquinas enfumaçadas. A Tomba Orquestra pertence sim a outro universo, mas o Tomba existe em nossa realidade, 2013, Rio de Janeiro... ou, mais exatamente, Niterói. Foi de lá que Bruno Marcus, mentor não apenas da Orquestra mas também do estúdio que dá nome ao projeto, concebeu sua banda ideal, concretizada com muita criatividade, ecletismo e uma big help from his friends. O resultado é Tomba Orquestra, o disco, que soa a um só tempo antigo e contemporâneo, reverente e inovador. Antigo e reverente na captação de influências que remontam a décadas passadas, contemporâneo e inovador no tratamento que dá a essas influências e também no próprio formato – trata-se de um álbum virtual, que pode ser ouvido online ou baixado no endereço http://tombaorquestra.bandcamp.com, mas que conta também com uma versão física em CD, lançado de forma independente.
