B1Sonic DNA
The sound
Portuguese-language rap over a dancefloor groove. Analogue warmth, live percussion (congas, shakers, rimshots) and a centred low end. Tension comes from subtraction, not the drop.
B2In the studio
Three records in preparation
Portuguese-language rap and storytelling: the story of leaving Bahia, battling on the Itapema boardwalk and landing on Hot Creations.
- The electronic sideIn preparation
To the Club Under the Clouds
A dancefloor record echoing ’80s and ’90s synthpop and post-punk, hip hop, R&B, bossa nova, house and UK bass.
- The follow-upIn preparation
Fatos
The follow-up to the Amozz EP, held back by the pandemic. A set of songs ready to return, also as a live show.
Private listening for labels and press, by email.
