GENGHIS CLAN is the new project by a well known London based crew of producers which prefer to stay incognito. The CLAN is a multicultural project with audio and visual artists, that decided to name its tropical project after the famous Mongolian ruler and warlord, an early adopter and visionary of a transcultured world.

The EP kicks off with „Gatinha“, which features baile funk don MC MR. CATRA on the microphone, the undisputed #1 male voice of baile funk. Performing on the Rio funk circuit since more than a decade, Catra is considered the James Brown of baile funk, with an on stage charisma and a vocal timbre that matches the live presence and vocal power of the godfather of funk, Mr. Dynamite, in his golden years. Catra’s grunts, mixed with a samba lick and a heavy soca influenced beat makes „Gatinha“ a sizzling hot floor burner.

“Saudade De Ex“ is a cheeky little funk track with a nasty bass and an irresistable beat. The pitched baile funk voice and the heavy beat added make this tune a perfect floor filler with a late peak that makes any crowd scream.

“Quero Buceta“ feat. OYO’s DE BRUCHO’s DJ PANKO scratching to the beat, picks up the baile funk Miami Bass influence and adds a nasty bass and a oriental guitar – a bow down to the love affair of Brasil’s Tropical movement to oriental music (remember Gal Costa’s “Tuareg“?). Vocal contribution comes from Rio baile funk MC DUDU SIRI who states his love affair for the female sex organ.

GENGHIS CLAN’s debut release presents three hot baile funk and Brasil inspired tracks – let the rhythm hit ‘em!!

DJing in small Western German towns only rarely is a pleasure. Usually, DJs are confronted with a pretty disinformed audience, with girls asking the DJ to play “something danceable like Rihanna, Rammstein or Tokyo Hotel” or pilled-out teenagers demanding the DJ to play something “schranz”. Ulm, a small town in the South of Germany located in between Stuttgart and Munich, is a big exception. There you have the guys who run the “Untitled” parties – easily one of the best club nights in Germany at the moment. With its anything goes music policy, an open minded and party hungry crowd, and promoters that make any effort to entertain their audience with extra sensations, it´s a hell of a good night. When I played “Untitled #15″ last Saturday, an Ulm based breakdance crew was dancing next to the DJ booth, and a confetti cannon was getting all loose – plus eloquent MC Mankind MCing alongside to it. The crowd went nuts to anything from 144 bpmed Ghetto Tec to Dub Step, Kuduro and Baile Funk. With prior DJ guests like Edu K, Shir Khan, Sick Girls, Schowi , Zombie Disco Squad, Steed Lord, Jahcoozi or Justin Martin, “Untitled” has featured the creme of the crop in the last couple of months and is now gearing up for a festival in summer. If you´re happen to be in South Germany soon, check out “Untitled” at Su Casa club – next up is DJ Beware on Feb 28th. Big up to Daniel Zedelmair, MC Mankind, DJ Cool Kid Dewey, Flo, Johannes and Dennis for the great night.
