While Brazil may be famous for its larger-than-life carnival celebrations, itÕs a different music driven movement thatÕs grabbed our attention. Underneath the sun, sand and sea rise a key community of producers creating a different shade of drum & bass to any other place in the world. ÔThe Future Sound of BrazilÕ is the next chapter of Hospital RecordÕs seminal ÔFuture Sound ofÕ series handpicking the finest talents that BrazilÕs shores have to offer. We open the doors to the sound of Urbandawn, one of Hospital RecordÕs newest signings. His perfectly polished musicality has set label boss London Elektricity in a spin, who regularly features UrbandawnÕs releases in his sets worldwide. His productions reflect the soul of Sao Paulo Ð vibrant, wide-awake and dance inducing. Urbandawn features on two tracks within the EP, a solo work ÔMessiah ComplexÕ and a paradisiacal collaboration with Bungle -ÔSacred FloorÕ made for blue skies, beaches and sand between your toes. Of course, Hospital RecordÕs original Brazilian-born signee S.P.Y had to be pulled in. Switching to the nighttime tales of BrazilÕs streets, S.P.YÕs ÔHidden FireÕ gets dizzy with industrial, warehouse depths. Family rhythms run through, we welcome S.P.YÕs younger brother Unreal to the team. In the same vein, his collaboration with Alibi and Dogface ÔDropdeadÕ scours deep into BrazilÕs concrete jungle. The sunlight creeps back in with Simplification, Translate and AmaningÕs vocal lead ÔGet DownÕ featuring Ella Sopp and NitriÕs funk fueled scats in ÔShiverÕ. With fiery rhythms and high-energy dance led revelries engrained into Brazilian culture, drum & bass has most definitely found its place within the welcoming nature of its city streets. ÔThe Future Sound ofÕ series continues to shine a light on the global reach of the genre in this hybrid collection of Brazilian drum & bass.
