South American Leo Janeiro steps up to Cocada Music with a pair of new singles to kick off his year. Leo is the Brazilian who runs things behind the scenes with Get Physical Music's Latin America-focussed sub-label. Emerging from Brazil’s close-knit electronic music scene, his taste and technical ability apparently made him a much-loved Warung and D-Edge resident who has gone on to play around the world.
He has released a number of singles on this label and now returns with this release. ‘Marambaia' kicks off with a hip-swinging disco-house groove. Retro-future drums and synths have classic vocals over the top as chords bring Latin soul.
'Uncle Silva' is another musical cut with loose percussion over fat bass. Acid twitches and big string samples add colour and build the tension as this cut races onwards with a real sense of spirit and a vocal.
