After a 2022 of great music and the debut of some worldwide legends on the electronic music business on Tree Sixty One, we are happy to start this new year with a brand new release presenting two new great artists on our label.

We are talking about the EP 'Samba Na Casa Da Tia Ciata' by one of the most vibrant and active artists from the new generation in Brazil, Bernardo Campos. Born and based in Rio de Janeiro, Bernardo delivered us two different and beautiful tracks. The song that gave name to the EP, brings a nice deep and introspective journey around a very particular and special sample that talks about the old days in Rio de Janeiro when some meetings were happening at the house of 'aunt Ciata', a black woman who lived between the 19th and beginning of 20th century, who was an influential and important figure fighting against the police repression to samba on those days, and how important that was for Brazilian culture.

This EP just couldn't get better, as we also signed a special remix from one of the finest producers in the business at the moment, mister T. Markakis. Born in Greece, but based in Germany, a country that fueled his passion for DJing and for crafting immense music, T.Markakis interpretation's of 'Samba Da Casa Da Tia Ciata' was a more progressive and underground extended trip and we definitely could feel the influence from German electronic music on it. 

Last but not least, the second original track from Bernardo named 'Seven Lucky' is a more jazzy song with a very nice piano, bringing that smooth and groovy vibe that we all love. 

Check it out all these tunes from this connection between Brazil and Europe, released right in time for the first carnival after three years of pandemic times. We hope you can spice up your sets with one of these cool tunes. Cheers!

Born in Rio de Janeiro, his career began to flourish in 2008 when he started residencies at clubs like Fosfobox, Dama de Ferro and Clandestino. Meanwhile, he established himself as resident DJ in many relevant e-music parties, which culminated in the RARA party - responsible for bringing to Rio legends like Derrick Carter and Derrick May in its first and second editions.

In his portfolio there are also gigs with Laurent Garnier, Moodymann, Carl Craig, Mark Farina, Solomun, Booka Shade, Jamie Jones, Magda, Anthony Rother, among others. As a music producer he had support from big names like Laurent Garnier, Richard Dorfmeister, Fish Go Deep, Fouk and also official remixes from Rick Wade, Jkriv, Hotmood and Felipe Gordon.
During 2013 he was one of the most requested DJs in Rio de Janeiro, which earned him the "Night Rio Award" as the best e-music DJ of the city, in addition to his summer residence at the paradisiacal Tikal Praia Bar in Algodões, Bahia and at the Pato com Laranja bar where besides playing he signs the curatorship. He is also resident of the parties Cuscuz, Festa do Bbzão and Água Viva.
In 2019 he created the project Nu Azeite alongside the multi instrumentalist Fábio Santanna. This project is a mix of boogie, disco, trip-hop with Brazilian music. He released two albums with this project highly praised by specialized media and critics. Since the beginning, his career has been growing consistently and well planned. It’s based on a constant research and musical training that gives him respect to play in a variety of dance floors besides working as a curator of parties and bars.
