2009 release. World renowned BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson compiles a spectacular collage mix tape from the vaults of Far Out Recordings for this fifteenth anniversary celebration. A close friend to Joe Davis for 25 years, Gilles Peterson has been a constant supporter of the original and best UK based Brazilian record label. The pair released the first Brazilika compilation on Gilles's Talking Loud label in 1994 and now go full circle with the fourth installment in Far Out Recordings series, following block party mixes from Kenny Dope, 4 Hero and Andy Votel (FARO 128CD, 2008). Brazilian music aficionados Peterson and Davis introduced a new generation to the cream of Brazil's bossa and post-bossa artists and here expertly blend the timeless - Ipanemas, Grupo Batuque, Azymuth, Arthur Verocai - with the new breed - Clara Moreno, Binario and Zeep - from Far Out Recordings's monumental catalogue. Democustico's 2006 track sums up the vast range of genres to produce the perfect hybrid. Taking it back to the old school and presenting Brazil's best new talent, Brazilika infectiously mixes through the label's wide ranging styles. With nostalgic voice over, soaring strings (Verocai) timeless samba (Ipanemas), illicit guitar rock (Binario), carnival batucada (Grupo Batuque), crazy samba (Azymuth), bossa, jazz and folk (Joyce), Gilles's Brazilika truly packs it in. This album couldn't begin more fittingly with Far Out Recordings legends Azymuth followed by Rio super group and the label's very first project Friends From Rio, which featured Marcos Valle and Wanda De Sa. With five exclusive unreleased tracks including remixes from Far Out Recordings innovators Osunlade, Spiritual South and Domu and a track from Alex Malheiros featuring Sabrina Malheiros. These 23 hand-picked tracks barely break the surface of the thousands recorded by Far Out Recordings over the years yet they provide the perfect introduction to and celebration of his enduring label. Also features: Friends From Rio, Jose Mauro, Krishnanda, Sidney Miller, Aleuda, Nana, Mauricio, Celia Vaz, Pressure Drop, Jose Carretas and Jose Roberto Bertrami & His Modern Sound.
