DJ Anderson Do Paraiso

Only 27 years old, DJ Anderson do Paraíso is at the forefront of the Funk BH (or Funk Mineiro) scene, offering a darker, more minimal answer to Brazil's chaotic clatter of drums and MCs. Paraíso's music simmers with tense, cinematic energy, muddling minimal, bumpy rhythms and nods to vintage hip-hop with classical, folk and jazz instrumentation and haunted samples. His debut album 'Querid​ã​o', released earlier this year on Nyege Nyege Tapes, is one of the scene's most idiosyncratic transmissions, a slowed-down, reverb-drenched collage of early dubstep low-end, high-pitched squeals and eerie, whisper-quiet vocals that's as sensual as it is terrifying.
