A true supergroup of DJs has teamed up for the release of Rio Baile Funk Breaks, the world's first-ever battle vinyl exclusively dedicated to baile funk -- the mad beats from Rio. This transnational DJ cooperation presents the best beats and elements, and the most sampled voices, breaks and loops of baile funk's rich musical history. The release contains more lock grooves and skipless beats for the advanced turntablist, made entirely of original Rio funk. This is the essential baile funk source material -- the first and only one of its kind. DJ Sandrinho is currently one of Rio de Janeiro's hottest DJs. Playing the tough Rio favela circuit for more than a decade, he's one of the top cats in the game. In spring 2006, Sandrinho released the seminal first volume in the Baile Funk Masters series, and remixed M.I.A., Bonde Do Role, Tag Team, Gotan Project, Edu K and more. In 2005, Sandrinho started to spin internationally, being one of the few Rio funk DJs regularly visiting Europe. On his side, Sandrinho presents the trademark grooves of baile funk, spiced up with sounds and effects. Berlin-based Daniel Haaksman is Europe's leading baile funk DJ and impresario. He's the compiler of the genre-defining compilations Rio Baile Funk: Favela Booty Beats, Vols. 1 and 2 on Essay Recordings, which introduced baile funk to the world. He is the label boss of Man Recordings and conceived both the acclaimed Funk Mundial and Baile Funk Masters serieses, and has helped the international career launch of Edu K. As a DJ with almost 20 years of club experience, Daniel Haaksman regularly spins across Europe as an ambassador of funk and other unclassifiable grooves. For Rio Baile Funk Breaks, Haaksman opened his funk archives and provided many of the loops and sounds. DJ Beware is Hong Kong's three-time Technics DMC champion. This radio DJ, remixer and globe-trotting party rocker is a dedicated fan of Rio's mad beats. Currently based in Vienna, DJ Beware hosts a daily mix show on acclaimed radio station FM4. DJ Beware came up with the idea of the baile funk battle vinyl record, and arranged DJ Sandrinho's and Daniel Haaksman's material to be ready for the jam-rocking business. This is an absolutely essential DJ tool and an irreplaceable archive of the best baile beats for your own personal favela party.
