On its quest of showcasing Brazil’s best music offerings, Selva Discos’ new release brings something fresh to the table: the crispiest batidão beats and synth vamps, courtesy of the duo Deekapz and their “Super Funk” EP.
The project was born from the idea of revisiting the period when baile funk and house music blended in Brazil’s late 80’s/early 90’s – that was the moment when the likes of Amazing Clay, DJ Raffa and Mad Zoo started exploring further the possibilities of their productions, mastering their style to perfection creating one perfect dancefloor crossover.
With that idea in mind, Selva Discos’ head Augusto Olivani aka Trepanado approached Deekapz, one of the greatest talents of the new generation of Brazilian electronic r&b music, and asked them to dive deep into this world and return with a new 5-track EP that take these references to a new level – getting all those great, but badly pressed tune ideas and making them sound super fresh, and also as classy as it can be – because that’s one of the things that Deekapz does best.
The EP starts with “Aquecimento Selvagem’’ and its introduction that pays homage to Brazilian pirate radio and classic soundsystems announcements, quickly hitting the listener hard with a brick of a synth line but not forgetting the melodic earworms that will last for days. The second track is the EP lead single, “Lei do Baile”, blending two classic baile funk samples before making you move with a superfat bassline – when it drops, it pours. The third track is “0800”, a tune that makes you picture the sweat dripping from a dark, strobbed dancefloor, with the hi-hats and the children’s voices putting dancers on a frenzy only to slow things down before bringing the next track.
The fourth song is “Lado B”, which is a gritty, stripped- down street soul kinda track that toys with a sample being fired up from the sampler all the time matched with some classic Brazilian comedy inserts. And closing the “Super Funk” EP is “Melô da Flauta”, a mid- tempo electro homage both to Paul Hardcastle and DJ Amazing Clay, something like a late-night radio tune that you could listen to on the car back from a party, with some lo-fi beats twist.

First single from upcoming "Ritmo" album - Out April 2nd.  Pre-order the album here: https://vhoor.bandcamp.com/album/ritmo

VHOOR’s latest album “Ritmo” pays homage to the northeastern Brazilian rhythm Samba de Coco, a variation of the broader northeastern dance/rhythm Coco. With deep cultural references and traditions, Samba de Coco has a unique shuffle beat accompanied by a traditional dance using specific garments amongst all participants. Samba de Coco also carries deep Afro-Brazilian roots, based in Brazil’s quilombo (quilombolas) communities in the northeastern state of Pernambuco. Quilombola communities are settlements founded by escaped slaves and remain powerful symbols of Afro-Brazilian identity, culture and resistance. VHOOR has taken this often overlooked cultural phenomenon and has melded it into his own style of production, updating the sounds, while maintaining its roots.
