"(Edu K) Me Bota Pra Dançar" is a brand new track from Edu K, featuring Marina, Bonde Do Role's former voice and front woman. This marks the first release from Marina since her split from Bonde Do Role. Edu K dropped his own vocal contribution and provided the heavy bass lines and the dope beats that mark a new "baile jack" sound. Crookers add some spice to this booty-bouncing anthem, condensing it into an irresistible floor-smasher.

Baile funk superstar MC Edu K returns with a huge splash. This four track EP features remixes of "Gatas Gatas Gatas" by Crookers, Chernobyl and Scottie B. Think of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" in a 21st century baile funk-rewind!! Crookers twisted the song into a ravey, booty-house bomb that will burn the big dancefloors. Chernobyl provides the baile funk rework and Scottie B makes it into a mad, ass-shaking Baltimore Club Twister.

Hot remixes of "Hot Mama," from Edu K's bombastic Frenétiko album. The four remixes included here conduct cross-territorial blendings. The Sinden remix: call it fidgit house, minimal bassism -- this is a fresh uptempo groove. The Bonde Do Role remix comes in true Brazilian baile funk stylee, with a tamborzao beat. Zuzuku poured the Cuban bass track into a skanking tune. Edu K's own remix starts with a dancehall-influenced riddim and breaks down into an uprising, jacking house groove, perfect for DJ mixing from downbeat to uptempo grooves. Four remixes and a crowd-pleasing original mix.

Edu K Illegal is a fantastic mash-up party anthem EP where the songs of Brazil's Edu K get all mixed up with some great pop tunes. "Injeção T.N.T. (Edu K Rmx) " is a mix of AC/DC's "T.N.T." with a rap by Deize Tigrona. "Bundalele Baile Jean" fuses Edu K's party song with Michael Jackson's "Bille Jean." Next, Bonde Do Role do a great baile funk/progressive house remix of Edu K's "Sex-O-Matic." The flipside's "Funkeiro Blue" blends the raw power of baile funk with The White Stripes, followed by "State Of Shock n'Roll," where "Popozuda Rock n'Roll" is intertwined with The Jacksons. "Nite Klub Mama" brings The Specials together with a Cubano bass hit, and finally, there is the melting of '80s breakdance anthem "I.O.U." by Freeez with Edu K's "Sexxxy."

This is the first full-length release from Brazil's Edu-K on Man Recordings. Edu K is undoubtedly one of Brazil's most talented contemporary musicians. As singer and front man of legendary Brazilian punk band De Falla, they released more than seven albums, varying their musical style from heavy metal to punk rock and funk, and also became known for their energetic live shows. In 2000, De Falla authored the hit pop song "Popozuda Rock n' Roll," a salute from the punks to Rio de Janeiro's baile funk movement which has since caused a global commotion. This track was first released on the Miami Rock 2000 compilation and then re-cast by Edu-K for 2004's Rio Baile Funk -- Favela Booty Beats compilation, then finally released as a 12" single in 2005 by Man Recordings. For Edu K, the bass sound from the favelas of the Sugarloaf City was punk in its very essence reborn with the sound of baile funk. This time, it wasn't three chords and a singer that made a song and a group, but three sampled loops and a street MC. The commotion continues with Frenétiko -- the first baile funk-inspired album ever to be released outside of Brazil. It's forty-five minutes of pure energy, blending the hottest sounds of 21st century Brazil into a breathtaking, musical masterwork. Call it baile punk, samba reggaeton or electro punk funk -- Frenétiko is Brazil's new millennium answer to the post-local, post-genre musical era we live in. It's a high energy mash up of kick ass music that is fresh and unique. Take "Funkeiro C.B.," which includes hardrock riffs, percussive electronic beats and the ecstatic MC shouting of Edu K and his brother/co-MC Chilli Willi, or "Faz Que Eu Gosto," where the electronic and melodic songwriting shines through. "Hot Mama" adds Cuban flavors to the booty bass, and "Sexxxy" starts as a reggaeton track and then speeds up seamlessly into an electro funk tune. Last but not least, there's the rocking "Gatas Gatas Gatas," the bass-slapping "Da Punk Funk" and of course "Popozuda Rock n' Roll." You won't find another Brazilian album sounding so fresh in 2006.
