Multicultural sound synesthesias at sight. For this tropicaldo we have hand-picked a guest who can hardly say exactly where she came from. A nomad driven by a hunger for curation and a yearning to spread music around the globe.
A “borderless” New Yorker, Ani Phoebe has contributed to music communities from Rio de Janeiro to New Delhi to Hong Kong. She is the co-founder of Bad Times Disco (HK), an online and pop up record shop in Hong Kong, also runs the Parallel Worlds radio show on The Lot Radio (NY). She draws her sets from cosmic, breaks, old school hip-hop, balearic, she also leans towards the weird and oddball side of electronic music. 
"I've been researching the songs for this set for probably two years now. In 2019, I left Rio de Janeiro for a DIY tour that spanned three continents and ended up with a move to Hong Kong in part because of the pandemic. This mix is made up of international "conceptions" of Brazil. From 80s German synth pop calling itself samba and singing in accented Portuguese to an Israeli album of reimagined Jorge Ben to an Indonesian song about Rio de Janeiro, it is clear that Brazil, has had an enormous influence on experimental, synth-pop, electronic dance, and jazz music in many countries around the world. While there are stereotypes, there are also interesting cultural fusions, and cross-border migrations. In a way, this mix is different from the music that I would typically DJ, but I enjoyed doing this kind of research so much that I'm already ready to do more of this series. I hope this mix can show Brazilians and non-Brazilians alike that Brazilian music has had a huge impact on people around the world, and I very much hope that it can continue to do so beyond the oversized era of samba, bossa nova, and MPB some decades ago."

Sinestesias sonoras multiculturais à vista. Para essa tropicaldo escolhemos a dedo uma convidada que mal dá para dizer exatamente sua origem. Uma nômade guiada pela fome de curadoria e anseio de espalhar a música ao redor do globo.
Uma nova iorquina sem fronteiras, Ani Phoebe já contribuiu para a comunidade musical de lugares como Rio de Janeiro, Nova Délhi e Hong Kong. Cofundadora da Bad Times Disco (HK), uma loja pop up online de Hong Kong; também comanda o programa de rádio Parallel Worlds no famoso The Lot Radio (NY). Seu estilo transita entre o cosmic, break, old school hip-hop e balearico, Ani também possui uma forte inclinação para um lado mais excêntrico da música eletrônica.
“Eu venho pesquisando as músicas desse set provavelmente há 2 anos. Em 2019, quando deixei o Rio, parti para uma turnê independente que abrangeu três continentes e se encerrou com minha mudança para Hong Kong, em parte por causa da pandemia. Esse mix é feito de conceitos internacionais do Brasil. De Synth Pop alemão dos anos 80 que se autointitulam samba e cantam com sotaque português, a um álbum Israelita reimaginado de Jorge Bem até uma música indonésia sobre o Rio de Janeiro e, fica claro, que o Brasil, tem uma enorme influência na música experimental, synth pop, electronic dance e jazz em muitos países ao redor do mundo.
Simultaneamente há estereótipos, mas há também interessantes fusões culturais que transcendem as fronteiras. De certa forma, esse mix é diferente da música que eu tipicamente discotecaria, mas eu me diverti tanto realizando esse tipo de pesquisa que estou pronta para fazer mais desses tipos de sets. Eu espero que esse mix possa mostrar para brasileiros e estrangeiros que a música brasileira tem um impacto gigantesco nas pessoas ao redor do mundo, e eu espero muito que ainda consiga continuar impactando, para além da grande era do samba, bossa nova, MPB e outras mais.”

Ani Phoebe (@aniphoebe)

Ani Phoebe is the Hong Kong based DJ and co-founder/director of Bad Times Disco (HK), an independent platform focused on digging traditions, diverse & eclectic music, community building, and the intersection of mutual aid and music. 


She has developed her unique style through researching and digging out eclectic styles of production by underknown artists from the 80s to the 2000s. One of Ani Phoebe’s areas of experience is the downtempo, cosmic disco, and synth pop realms, being a resident DJ of renowned underground music festival Cosmic Gathering (DE) and having performed at experimental stages on Nation of Gondwana (DE) and Atlas Electronic (MR). At the same time, her breadth also extends to heavy dancefloors and electronic clubs, performing sets that expand on 90s progressive house to 2000s eurodance, digging for rare versions of nostalgic numbers. Weaving through all her sets are emotional, often female vocals, and synthesized sounds in all of their diversity and power. A strong emerging DJ on a global scene, Ani Phoebe has recently toured Brazil, the US, and Europe in 2022.

When I met her in Hanoi in 2017 she was not yet a DJ, but I sensed something special about her power. Keep an eye out for Ani's future moves as she expands her activities in various places like Brazil, NYC, Hong Kong, India or Europe.(Teruu)
