DJ Dolores playlist


DJ Dolores AKA Helder Aragão is the inspired DJ and producer from Recife who has been instrumental in putting Pernambucan music on the map, both inside and outside Brazil. Deeply interested in the rural and traditional music of the North-East, Dolores makes renegade electronic dance music rooted in local tempos and flavours like coco, maracatu and forro. Here he gives us his latest tips featuring emerging artists from Brazil’s incredible independent music scene, including a forro version of the James Bond theme!

01. Catarina Dee Jah/Kai Fora (featuring Buguinha Dub)

02. DJ LK/Balança o seu Ganha-Pao
Lucio K is an inventive producer from Rio de Janeiro. This track is a mix of the baile funk beat with samba instruments and the chorus makes a reference to James Brown’s Sex Machine.
