DJ Ramon Sucesso is back. The maverick (born in 2002) who burst onto the scene from Rio de Janeiro’s underground and even hacked the algorithms has updated “Sexta dos Crias (Friday with the Crew)” to 2.0! ! Drawing on everything from TikTok samples to mainstream tracks, he deconstructs and reimagines them while keeping his identity a secret and overturning the very concept of copyright ownership—the latest form of futuristic 2026 Baile Funk, charging forward with even greater, unpredictable momentum.
DJ Ramon Sucesso’s long-awaited second album—an analog format that expands upon the short-form impulses born on TikTok—is released once again by Brazil’s *Lugar Alto*, a label worth following. Masterfully utilizing a DJ controller to scrap and rebuild in real time, this is a nonstop collision and rupture flowing from the bedroom to the dance floor. A back-and-forth of his own shouts and vocal samples that appear and are cut off before they can form any meaning. Centered on Afro-Latin rhythms and the physical groove unique to Funk Carioca, this intensely stimulating collage-mix style shatters any pretense of sticking to genre boundaries. “Rompendo o Espaço-Tempo (Breaking Through Space-Time)” and “Distorcendo o Universo (Distorting the Universe).” This release is another masterpiece.
