Oi Globalistas!

As a blog reader that loves all things Global Bass, I’m sure you already know about Funk na Caixa. Home of the Neo Baile wing of the Global Bass fellowship, FnC is run by sometime CP poster, DJ Renato M2. Renato is based in Sao Paulo and has established FnC as one the taste makers of the international Global Bass scene. We also compiled the first Neo Baile compilation together, along with Mr Bongo, which was even released on vinyl. If you never heard Funk Globo, then you can check it out below. Anyway, let’s have Renato tell you about it himself:

My Name Isn’t Johnny!

Following on from the release of Rasterinha Vol. 2, comes the first video from the compilation and it’s none other than the hilarious MC Maromba with his massive tune “My Name Isn’t Johnny”. Which, unusually for a tune outta the favela, is sang in English! So for all you non-Portuguese speakers out there (I have to admit to only a kindergarten level myself) you are invited to join Maromba’s party and why wouldn’t you want to? Gostoso!

The wait is over !

Hot on the heels of the release in March of Rasterinha Vol. 1, comes the imaginatively titled Rasterinha Vol. 2! Funk na Caixa bring you their second installment of this genre defining series. This time, besides myself and Guto Almeida, there are a host of new producers presenting their take on this ever expanding sound, including The Netherlands’ Godwonder and the Original Baile Funk Master himself, Rio’s DJ Edgar. The whole EP is free to download, so what are you reading this drivel for? Beleza…
