I grabbed this gem off of Soulseek the other night and even though I'm only about half-way through this incredible record, I'm fairly certain Baile Funk 2 will soon make its way up the ranks to become, alongside Souljazz's Miami Sound compilation, the record I reach for whenever the party rolls through. Forget that CSS hipster clap-trap and peep this!
It's 5:40 in the morning so I'm feeling a tad incoherent so here's the jist of the mix, taken from a brief press release-type deal that was lurking on KSDMUSIC:
"Baile Funk 2: Agora E Moda" is the newest mix CD from the team behind the long-running weekly Brazilian party at Black Betty in Brooklyn. DJs Greg Caz and Sean Marquand have responded to the continued popularity of the first "Baile Funk" mix by spending extra time on its followup, a process that also resulted in Greg Caz's "Viva O Samba!" solo mix CD.
"Baile Funk 2" is above all a labor of love, a product of many years spent listening, learning about and collecting Brazil's finest popular music. This time around, rare tracks by folks like Silvio Cesar, Marcio Lott, Chico Batera, Achados & Perdidos (pictured on the CD's back cover), Azymuth, Os Incriveis, Rosa Maria, Serginho Meriti and 23 others come with a set of liner notes (including title translations) that attempt to shed some light on these deep Brazilian grooves. The result makes for a worthy companion piece to the "City Of God" soundtrack. Despite the title, this CD is virtually all original 70s tracks that appeal to all taste groups and stands worlds apart from what the term "baile funk" has come to denote.
