DJ D-Lux Brazilretro Mix



 

Dub Session welcomes old-school roots reggae DJ D-Lux to the show for a stone cold groove of Brazilian roots and trip hop sounds. For nearly twenty years, DJ D-Lux has been both a DJ and student  of Jamaican and Brazilian music. This mix blends Brazil's retro-funk protest music of the 70s with singer-songwriters of the 60s and mix masters of the present day for a unique, D-Lux sound. For more information, see the Dub Session DJ D-Lux interview and the show playlist



 
Brazilectro Special Double Edition
 
  Brazilectro Special

Dub Session sets sail to Brazil to warm up the early winter nights and get you dubbing in a tropical groove. Many of the remix artists you hear on the Dub Session such as Tosca, Boozoo Bajou, Fila Brazillia, Thievery Corp, and Dhizan & Kamien are not only specialists at remixing Jamaican dub and Jazz into new styles, but are maestros at remixing 1960s Bossa Nova Brazilian tunes into the new forms called "Bossa Brava" or "Brasilectro." These artists, along with Brazilian originals like Gilberto Gil and Bebel Gilberto are featured in this double set.

Akin to Dub, Acid Jazz music uses hip hop beats, jazz samples, and dub style composition.  The original genre was popular in the early 1990s and spawned a new generation of ambient dub, downtempo, triphop and more.  Acid Jazz artists are among the first bedroom rockers to produce entire compositions usually using digital technology and computers instead of intruments. Most groups in this genre are bedroom rockers, while some groups such as Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Brand New Heavies and Groove Collective have effectively united jazz, hip hop, dub and turntables as instrumental bands.

Each artist or DJ group brings its own original flavor to the mix.
