Brazilectro, Vol. 8

Brazilectro surely counts among the best and most successful compilation series for Latin inspired grooves to date. More than just a term, Brazilectro has become a trademark, constantly reflecting the evolution of a very important musical genre throughout it's beautiful and inspiring years of existence. Session 8 once again adds to the great image of the series and provides yet another top notch collection of only the finest grooves for fans, lovers and those in-the-know alike. Some of the world's leading producers and DJs contributed 26 cherry picked tracks, including seven previously unreleased gems and quite a string of insider faves previously only available on vinyl.

Traditional Brazilian music of a distinct origin fuses easily here with contemporary dancefloor developments and sensual sofa rockers to form a sound which will always stand for important things such as the simple, yet highly effective "joy of life" and that certain "saudade" attitude. But does it work? It always works just fine. No matter the usual stereotypes on Brazil, the folks who live there and the drinks they drink, the inspirational power and positive force of South American music is more than obvious and works miracles in all doses and forms and simply can't be ignored.

Just like all it's predecessors, Brazilectro Session 8 comes as a refined and stylish 2CD / 3LP package, adding to the style and quality that oozes from every single note of music here. No surprise that this heartfelt compilation again works perfectly in multiple dimensions and way beyond any short-life trends or mere fashion. These days, a more updated and even more tasty view on all things Latin is hardly available anywhere else.  more
