The end of the year means tradition and after all the weirdness we're ready for some vacation to unlock our minds. Not necessary on the beach to feel the wind and the sand, this compilation is a balm to cure our deepest troubles and immediately will convert your living room or backyard into a slice of the most beloved south Balearic island.

As our latest installments, the edit is the main meal. Comfort food with new spices to remember us about great times, to rest our soul, and look into the future. There's a future around the corner.

So find a comfy chair, even if figuratively speaking, fix a drink, and enjoy our sunny dream.

O fim do ano significa tradição e após toda a loucura que passamos, estamos prontos para uma folga e destravar nossas mentes. Não necessariamente na praia, sentindo o vento e areia, esta compilação é um bálsamo para curar nossos traumas mais profundos e imeditabemente converterá sua sala de visitas ou quintal em um pedaço da nossa ilha sul baleárica favorita.

Assim como em capítulos passados, o edit é o prato principal. Comida reconfortante com novos temperos para lembrar bons momentos, para acalmar a alma e olhar para o futuro. Existe um futuro logo ali.

Encontre uma cadeira confortável (mesmo que apenas em sentido figurável), faça um drink e curta nosso sonho ensolarado.

From Paco Cabana's Perspective:

“The idea behind this selection is to bring back little-known versions of hits re-recorded by Brazilian divas. Female vocals, classic drum machine beats, and the texture of vinyl rips set the tone for this powerful compilation, filled with unbeatable dancefloor edits and reworks.

The contrast between female vocals and the heavy beats of classic drum machines has always captivated me. In my aesthetic obsession, I stumbled upon versions of hits interpreted by Brazilian singers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. My challenge was to add punch and movement to meet contemporary dancefloor demands while preserving the original sound of the music. I focused on the steady, punchy kick drum of classic house music, along with the percussive elements of disco music and Latin rhythms.

The spark for this compilation was a discovery made during an afternoon of digging in São Paulo with Lucian Fernandes. The track we found was "Ela Dança Como Nunca Alguém Dançou," a version of 'Maniac' by the group Harmony Cats. The version was already great but needed some adjustments to fit smoothly into a set. Just one night in the studio with Beno was enough to create the first edit for this selection.

Lucian also contributed two other gems to the EP, 'Eu Vou Te Amar,' a version of 'I Will Survive,' and 'Sou Sempre A Mesma,' a version of 'Smooth Operator.' Another nugget for the compilation was 'Eu Queria O Seu Amor,' a version of 'My Cherie Amour,' rediscovered by Bossa with an acapella for us to play around with.

The other songs were YouTube finds, but after treatment and edits, they became as special as the physical rarities, hitting the dance floors perfectly.”

The album Alma em Sol by Gaspar Muniz and Beno is a sonic dive that blends modern rhythms with Brazilian sensibility. This EP explores genre fusion, stirring a deep emotional connection through frequencies and harmonies. The duo creates a natural dialogue between electronic and acoustic elements, drawing influences from MPB and experimental electronic music. The album features four original tracks and one remix, and is set to be released this Friday, October 12th, 2024, in Lisbon.

What makes Alma em Sol such a relevant work is its ability to stay deeply connected to the present while maintaining its essence. The album feels both contemporary and timeless. At a time when electronic music often prioritizes beats over soul, it's refreshing to find a project that balances these two forces so well.
