FABRICLIVE 49

Born in the frenzied kuduro (the Angolan/Portuguese hybrid club music that borrows from traditional African rhythms, Carribean rhythms and European club music) parties of Lisbon™s suburbs, Buraka Som Sistema return to their roots on FABRICLIVE 49. Two years of incessant touring of their manic live show have left them hungry to return to the bedrock of their sound  the Buraka Sound System. Three years since their breakthrough ˜Sound of Kuduro™ took the world by storm, kudoro™s influence on club music can be felt across the globe, and its on their debut mix CD that they incorporate their own music  complete with re-edits from the likes of scene leaders L-Vis 1990, Stenchman and A1 Bassline, the music they™ve touched and anything that fits their intense blueprint for club music; from Zomby to Diplo to Skream. Their wild, explosive take on European dance music, which draws heavily on Angolan kuduro, first pricked the ears of Diplo and Sinden in 2006, which led to their hook up with M.I.A. Her vocal on their breakthrough single ˜Sound of Kuduro™, and its accompanying video was a phenomenon, currently on 2.3 million youtube hits and counting. Underground, club rocking sensations abroad, back home in Portugal they are veritable superstars, regularly occupying the pop charts as well as following the likes of Bob Dylan on stage at national festivals. The release of their debut album, ˜Black Diamond™, in November of last year on our record label cemented their reputation as one of the world™s most exhilarating and original bands, and has been accompanied by an almost non-stop round the world live schedule ever since. Their live show, which incorporates the full group  including vocals and live drums  is one of the most explosive performances on the live circuit, complete with mass female stage invasions. Their music, incorporating the playfulness of soca rhythms and the intensity of a sweat-drenched Portuguese kuduro rave is the finest, most ruthless and energetic dance music known to man. They are the archetype for the club world™s new found open-mindedness to international sounds. 01 Dre Skull  Gone Too Far Ft Sizzla [Buraka Som Sistema Remix] - Mixpak 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Buraka Som Sistema] - fabric 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
