ZONA EMERGENCIAL - V.A. II 2021

Runnin a independent electronic music label during the sanitary crisis of the century isn't a easy work. Our biggest motivation is to boost the production of dissident trajectories, being part of a peripheral dancefloor global movement. 
ZONAexp's second VA, Zona Emergencial, is a plural compilation tied up with a Brazilian freestyle. 22 tracks produced by artists from various locations of a broken nation, resulting on a lethal dancefloor arsenal. 

In this edition, beside electro/ghetto tech and speed up juke bombs, that are always in our releases on tracks from ERAM, TABU, Pianki, Perrelli, DJ Felix, CRAZED (BR) and Marcelulose, we amplified the vision to have more references from UK genres. So we matched with artists from the emerging Brazilian grime scene: Yescal and Gau Beats that deliver two heavy wheit beats, with distorted basses and eski square wave synthesizers. The also initiated in grime/drill scene, Meio Feel and Brunoso used the opportunity to experiment: Meio Feel with a 85bpm riddim submerged on a mandela(funk) bassline, and Brunoso with a funk kicks dynamite, with a lotta drived amen breaks.The fast cutting drum n' bass is in NORA's name, doing a counterpoint with a I.C.G.'s obscure and spacial break and Bad_Mix's melted jungle.

The release is set to august 27, with the objective of generating income to the net of producers that relate to the label, joining funds through the sells of the V.A. and ZONAexp's official merch. When imagining this compilation, we joined forces to find an alternative to the lack of resources and precariousness that Brazil's political situation led us to. Through this plan we are willing to strengthen the artists that keep this creative environment alive although all the crisis going on.

ZONA SERIES 007 - PRETA

Dance Dance Particles is ZONA's last EP from 2021 by DJ LHC @user-530367445 , natural from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A 7 track release exploring Jungle in it's most beautiful form, using melodic vocals and sax lines blended with digital arpeggios and atmospheric pads.
Amens that follow all harmony building tension and releasing energy through 808 pulses. Although all the classic vibe, there's something very digital and playful going on here, inserting other hybrid rythms like in "STORAGE" and the final minutes of "LAST NIGHT" that also brings another mark of LHC's work: memphis vocals.
There's a lot of digital culture here that remount to a long afternoon at an arcade store dancing on a early 2000's japanese pump machine.

João Luiz, @jlzoficial, is one of the most prominent and interesting producers in Brazil now. His creation takes place in a digital minefield full of unexpected Hybrid-Baile explosives, from Vogue to trap, funk BH to gqom and kuduro to Drill. All those exciting timber and styles blends made way to working with huge projects and artists such as Linn da Quebrada, Sángo, Luedji Luna,ÀTTØØXXÁ, Mia Badgyal, Jaloo, Tuyo, Vírus e Baco Exu do Blues.
For ZONAexp, JLZ brings 4 hard hittin, schizoid dancefloor tracks: Drika Frita; Isso é o Mandelão; Me Chama and Shaka Zulu. Those are some of his first electro/ghetto-tech incursions, full of dirty synths, a lot of Mandelão funk along with a spectral noisy gqom inspired by Shaka Zulu, a Zulu king/military that threatened British colonizers till the day of his death.
So take a good listen to this release and whatever comes out of JLZ's head and notebook. And,of course, be careful, this might cause a hyper heating on your processor.
