Bleep

After their long-standing involvement in Príncipe’s residency at Lisbon’s popular Musicbox night club, local DJ duo Casa Da Mãe Produções, short CDM, present their first release on the Portuguese label. Following the imprint’s multicultural tradition and reflecting Lisbon’s rich experimental dance music scene, the duo take rhythmical elements from Angolan music - that found their way into the Portuguese capital via imperialism - and mix these styles such as kuduro, batida and tarraxo with the cosmopolitan aesthetics of cheap drum machine sounds. Overdriven kicks conjure up low-fi claps, swirling congos stumble over low-frequencies in this genre-defying, high-energy mix.
