DJ/producer and Underdogs collective member Bernardo Campos returns to the Brazilian label for a solo release that comes with a remix by Detroit's Rick Wade. Rio de Janeiro's Campos is one half of the boogie-disco-funk duo Nu Azeite alongside Fabio Santanna. This year, they released an album on Get Physical's sister imprint Cocada Music that was full of Latin American grooves.

Campos is also a house and disco DJ in his home city, and a resident of the RARA party and Pato com Laranja bar who has a wealth of experience. The solo material here follows his collaborative outing with ICLE and Bruce Leroys back in June. The release opens with 'Desejo,' a house jam with organic drums that are overlaid with soulful chord work and heady leads that keeps you in its grooves. 

 

Detroit’s Rick Wade then remixes, laying down chunky drums on labels like Harmonie Park, Shall Not Fade and Rawax. His version is laced with chords and a funky bassline. There are female vocals delivered in Portuguese to bring some extra Latin flair.

 

Last of all comes 'Irapuru’, where percussion dances over house drums while smeared synths bring the colour. 

 

It’s out 12 November on Underdogs Music.
