Fabriclive 49

• Track Listing

Born in the frenzied Kuduro 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. It's on this 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 it's accompanying video was a phenomenon (2.4 million plays and counting)! Their music, which incorporates 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.
