Details: For several years now, electronic music has been willingly drawing on the heritage of Brazilian music to give a little warmth to its metronomic rhythms. With this fourth session of its kind offered by the Hanoverian label Audiopharm, the tone is set from the first track, "Amore", sung by Viennese crooner Louie Austen on a sun-drenched house tempo, bright funky guitar parts, playful brass, radiant percussions and some limpid little bleeps (one thinks of Barry Manilow and his "Copacabana"). It's a bit outdated but how can you resist? Then, the selection continues with a fine line-up of guests, including the very seventies charm of the Japanese from Fantastic Plastic Machine, the suave garage of the Americans from Blak Beat Niks (revisited by the prince of house Kerri Chandler), the hallucinated trip-hop version of "Je t'aime moi non plus" (Gainsbourg) reworked by the Viennese of Dzihan & Kamien, the lively Latin-funk of John Beltran or the veterans of Azymuth, brilliantly reread by Kenny Dope of the Masters At Work. As you will have understood, this selection, more musical than purely electronic, proves that Brazilian music has become universal and transgenerational. --Laurent Gilot
