A killer treatment of TANIA MARIA's "Funky Tamborim" and TIM MAIA's "Você mentiu"! The latest installment in the limited 7-inch obscure-record edit series on 〈SCRUNIVERSAL〉, run by edit-disco craftsman SCRUSCRU. São Paulo, Brazil-based digger DJ EL OHIM shows off moody edit work that captures every bit of these classics' flavor.
"Vamos Juntos Nesse Funk" (sample1) reworks TANIA MARIA's 1983 classic "Funky Tamborim" — a deft edit that keeps JOHN PENA's slap bass, arguably the original's greatest charm, front and center while slipping in mysterious pads for a contemporary twist. Brazil's emperor of soul TIM MAIA and his "Você mentiu" (1987) becomes "Mentiu Pra Mim" (sample2), a breaks-driven funk workout.
