pancadao do morro - funk do flamin hotz, ja e?

A 23 track leftfield/idm album (1h 5m 57s) — released February 22nd 2010 on Flamin Hotz

The independent record label Flamin Hotz Records announces the release of its first CD, Pancado do Morro: O Funk do Flamin Hotz, Ja E? (Big HIts from the Hill: Flamin Hotz Funk, You Down?), a 22-track compilation of funk carioca. The Miami Bass-derived sound rules the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where over a million frequent bailes funk, enormous funk dance parties, every weekend. Funk carioca the word refers to something from Rio is more than just a genre, its a way of life, the soundtrack to this teeming city of 13 million, especially youth from the favelas, or squatter communities, which were immortalized in the Oscar-winning film City of God. Funk carioca has been circulating around North America and Europe for a few years now through the occasional mixtape, compilation, and EP, but this huge musical scene, which has produced thousands of DJs, MCs, crews, and sound systems over the last two decades, still has minimal exposure outside Rio and even less outside Brazil. Enter Flamin Hotz Records, which has spent going on two years painstakingly orchestrating this compilation. Unlike many other funk releases north and south of the equator, Pancado do Morro took the extra effort to ensure that every artist received a fair contract in Portuguese ensuring payment and royalties. Additionally, it provides artist photos and bios, translated lyrics, and some background on information on funk, putting faces and names to this increasingly popular style. With breathtaking design from BustBright, Pancadao do Morro is a labor of love that should be a collectors item for any astute music fan or DJ interested in the world of global urban beats not only the sounds, but also the context.
