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.”

This track took me about 3 weeks to finish, but it finally paid off :)

I was inspired to make this track after watching a documentary about Oscar Peterson (hence the name 'Oscar's Chip'). Specifically this part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI-4HNQg1JI) is what caught my attention. You'll notice that the chord progression used here and in my track are quite similar :)

About:
In the heart of space, a lone pilot endeavours across the galaxy. His cargo: ten-thousand tons of Yttrium, and the immeasurable weight of years of solitude...
He lands on the carbon planet 55 Cancri e. Four times two the mass of Earth and four halves the radius, it reaches temperatures of 2,150 °C (3,900 °F). The pilot, profusely sweating, finds the galaxy's most remote musicians, the Four Men. The four men write all of their songs together, simultaneously. Will this eternal curse of solitude fade away? Godspeed...

a good time!

written for Winter Chip XVI on Battle of the Bits for the MGSG MIDI category. this format restricts you to the sounds of the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, the synthesizer internal to Windows operating systems.

you look outside the window. it's still snowing. how lovely. you're lucky to have this view. with your house at the top of the hill, you can see the town below in it's entirety, covered completely in snow.

this house is a bit big for you. it gets lonely at times, but you appreciate the moments when you're not thinking about that. looking down at the town, seated by your window with a cup of tea, things don't seem so bad at the moment.
