Following the acclaimed “Who´s Afraid Of Rio?” EP, Man Recordings proudly presents Daniel Haaksman’s 2nd artist release – the “Gostoso EP”. The mad beats from Brasil’s tropical megacity reverb on Haaksman’s new EP in various hot new forms and sounds.

DANIEL HAAKSMAN

The EP kicks off with Haaksman bringing baile funk to the playground, introducing the 2nd generation of baile funk MCs. “Kid Conga“ features MC Miltinho on the mike, the son of baile funk legend MC Batata, singing a nursery rhyme over a heavy, tropical beat, accompanied by an arpeggio that is resembling North Eastern Brasilian forro melodies. „Senta Senta Mais Uma Vez” („Senta Senta once more“) is Haaksman’s revisit to the anthemic „Senta Senta“ track from his „Who’s Afraid Of Rio?“ EP which received massive DJ rotation all over the globe. In its revisited mix, the techno side of baile funk finds its shape.

TATI QUEBRA BARRACO

The B-Side of the EP opens with „Pobum Coco“, Haaksman’s bowing down to Rio’s love affair with Miami Bass. With a heavy 808 beat, „Pobum Coco“ tops off with a Tropicalia guitar line to get those big booties going. The polka-bass tune is followed by Rio’s MC queen Tati Quebra Barraco, shouting out on “Jesus” over a twisted funk synth and 808 snare rolls.

I have a new EP that will be released tomorrow, exclusively pre-released on vinyl. Be quick to grab it, the red colored version is limited to 200 copies worldwide, the rest of the pressing will be in the usual black wax. The “Gostoso EP” is my second release and is another take on my love for the mad beats from Rio. Spread out on 5 tracks, this EP is less focused on the MC but more on a heavy beat tip. The digital release is on July 7th.

Here´s “Pobum Coco”, one of the main tunes of the EP, which has already been caned by the likes of DJ Yoda, DJ Beware and Tim Turbo:
