SonarMix 036: VHOOR - A user’s guide to baile funk
The tracklist for
SonarMix 036
takes you to parts of SoundCloud you didn’t even know existed. Guided by
VHOOR
, this edition of
SonarMix
takes a trip through Brazil’s baile funk underground, one of the most radically creative scenes in the world right now.
Ahead of his appearance at
Sónar Lisboa
as part of the
Enchufada showcase
on Sunday 24th March, the 26-year-old producer and DJ shares some of his favourite current floorfillers, plus a selection of unreleased tracks, edits and flips (his productions, both solo and as part of the
Weird Baile
collective, make up over half of the tracklist). It’s a user's guide to baile funk, identifying the genre’s roots in old school hip hop and Miami bass, highlighting its unique musical vocabulary, and even showing how it’s infiltrating the mainstream.
A track by Afrika Bambataa collaborator Arthur Baker (as
Planet Rock
) gives way to the nervous hi-hats and rolling bass of
Beyoncé
’s ‘America Has A Problem’, which is then blended with the stripped down groove of VHOOR’s own ‘Sensaçao’. The syrupy sound of pre-millennial r&b (
Ghost Town DJ
’s ‘My Boo’) and
Kodak Black
’s slurred, lazy raps (here given a percussive flip by Príncipe’s
DJ Lycox
) fit perfectly alongside
one of his productions for baile funk legend
MC Bin Laden
. And Brazilian superstar
Anitta
’s version of DJ Pimpa’s manic ‘Movimento da Sanfoninha’ is just as freaky as any of tracks produced by unheralded SoundCloud producers with all-caps names like
DJ WIUZIN DO 085
.
“I hope you like it,” is all he told us. After the final triumphant blast of ‘Se Ta Solteira’, a slice of booming Miami bass featuring rapper
FBC
, the only thing we want to do is hit play again.

From Lisbon to the world
Producer and DJ
Branko
has been at the epicentre of Lisbon’s electronic music scene for over two decades. The former Buraka Som Sistema member will perform a new live set based on his forthcoming 2024 album. His
Enchufada
label has also curated a special showcase on Sunday at Sónar by Day, featuring DJ sets from Brazilian baile funk specialist
VHOOR
and rising local batida producer
Vanyfox
. Also invited are
iolanda
, who’ll perform live;
DJ Satelite

Portugal’s vibrant local scene features throughout the lineup. Digger and selector

Yen Sung

Photonz
. Amongst the local artists at Sónar by Day are
XEXA

Dance music for all tastes
For deep, transportative dance music at Sónar by Day, look no further than
Wata Igarashi

Laura BCR

Perel
appears with a hybrid set of italo disco and slow acid, and Porto’s

Florentino
mixes latin rhythms and UK bass music. Plus there’s a geographically-diverse, experimental club music from
Ikram Bouloum b2b
Odete

Mona Yim
.
Hudson Mohawke
and
Tiga
’s collaborative live AV project
Love Minus Zero
reconfigures the concept of the rave for a 21st century audience: catch them at Sónar by Night. Also on the bill is idiosyncratic live performer

. For DJ sets, look no further than
Jennifer Loveless
’
high-energy house and techno; the ‘genre-fluid’ selections of Live From Earth’s
DJ Gigola
; and a 100% female, 100% Detroit back-to-back from
DJ Minx
and
DJ Holographic
.
