Mix of the Day : Bem Quente “Brazilian Club Jazz, Pop & Groove”

The perfect mix for your world cup party. It’s a mistura of everything that we love about brazilian music with a transcending genre focus which goes deeper in to Musica Popular Brasileira. It contains songs that are quite rare on vinyl but are super accessible to the untrained ear as well as some earlier era music that sounds sublime.

The Moreira da Silva track is the tale of how Brazilian agent Moreira confounds James Bond and helps the Brazilian team to win the 1966 World Cup and many classic brazilian folklore songs are covered beautifully. Just like a Brazilian party everyone is welcomed and you can’t help but boogie to the unhinged rhythms. Que beleza! (Bonus: all tracks are available for download!)

A Montreal native with West-African roots, Antoine started developing a love for records when his father passed his collection of French, African, Caribbean and Brazilian classics onto him. Ever since, the collector turned selector has spent countless hours in musky basements both here and abroad (Dakar, Lima, Paris, Quito, Rio) in the never-ending search for the perfect beat!
