If you are going to dance, do it to this new funk meets ghettotech mix straight out of Rio. It’s adding a new sound to the funk carioca (aka “baile funk,” as it is known stateside). With far more influences within, this mix does an amazing job at showing the rapid progression of the popular Brazilian musical genre that has been both lauded and looked down upon by locals and more popularly accepted by folks across the seas (mainly because most of them have no idea what is being said in the lyrics). Nevertheless, I appreciate this somewhat schizophrenic approach to funk because it shows that the genre can do more than make you dance to lyrics about short skirts, booties, and guns.
Its creator is a DJ named Wooles, who has been working on music since 1999, but whose talent and musical knowledge really shines here. He somehow manages to put in funk carioca, ghettotech, bounce, breakbeats, hip hop, dancehall, and even dubstep, which is impressive considering some of those genres are little known within Brazil, God forbid the States. Kudos to him. Take a listen and have a little Saturday afternoon dance:
