Baile funk in Rio has faded artistically lately – too much Tamborzinho beats and lack of ideas have caused a big musical crisis underneath the sugar loaf mountain. Even MC Gringo lately wrote in an email “baile funk is dead”. Adding to a musical crisis is an increased political pressure on baile funk culture ensulting in the closing down of many bailes across the city of Rio – an early taste of the increased city cleansing and seperation politics by the new conservative major of Rio looking at the Olympics in 2016.
But thank god, funk continues to live outside of Rio, as in this case, one of the sureshot party smashers of 2009: DJ Edgars mashup of Crookers´”Para De Graçinha” + “Soca Ali Baba” with Os Hawaianos´”Vem Kikando”. Call it a baile clash deluxe!
We give it away for you for free:

João Brasil is certainly only one of the most talented yound Brasilian producers of today. With his costum made music interfaces that include a Wii controller baile funk beat box or a 2 x 2 meter sized MPC, João Brasil has raised heads across the planet. But most of all João is extending the boundaries of music with his amazing mash-ups. For 2010, João aims for a truly giant project: To produce and release a mashup every day. Titled “365 mashups for 2010″, you can download the daily made tracks from his newly installed “365″ blog:
