We've got the long-awaited new album from DJ LYCOX, raised in Lisbon and now based in Paris! This one was made to add a new format to "batida," the genre that fuses and independently evolves Afro-Portuguese sounds like kuduro, tarraxinha and kizomba. Complex rhythms carved out by drums that combine matte impact with metallic resonance, docked with psychedelic melodies. Warm tonal elements drawn from acoustic sources. There's also a dose of Middle Eastern music essence picked up during his time living in France. The Lisbon ghetto sound, evolved from within its own tradition! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
