TTC (INSTITUBES, BIG DADA, PARIS)
w/ Teki Latex, Tido Berman, Cuizinier and DJ Orgasmic
Tomorrow's sound just arrived. 4 sensitive thugs: Tido, Teki, Cuiz and Orgasmic. Their label is none other than Big Dada Records, the Ninja Tune Avant Hop subdivision responsible for the likes of Roots Manuva, Diplo and Saul Williams. After putting out the critically acclaimed "ceci n'est pas un disque" in 2002, our favorite half thugs half nerds are back with a new producing team, electro rising stars Para One and Tacteel, and their romantico gangsta scenic appearances are set to provoke hysteria and tears wherever they go. Come closer sensitive souls, and get crunked up with the new French prodigies. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"I heard TTC's single in a club in Paris and a riot broke out (...) This is unlike anything youve ever heard. So look, if youre searching for something different, peep it. You might just think its brilliant." Vice Magazine (8/10) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Pretty much every backpacker in the world is gonna be biting or figuring out how to bite this french hip hop group for the next 10 years" Vapors Magazine (Future vapors star) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"What separates TTC from any exchange student novelty act is the fact that Batards Sensibles is genuinely dope" The Fader >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Forget what you heard about Snoop and Lil'Skateboard P's "Drop it like it's hot": Parisian weirdo thugs TTC have come with the beat of the year on "Dans Le Club"". XLR8R >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"(Batards Sensibles is) an early contender for the new year's most progressive hiphop album, a genre-bending slice of Euro-futurism." XLR8R again >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Blurring the line between rap and dance music, MC's Teki Latex, Cuizinier and Tido Berman rhyme in their native french and bring a smooth, natural flow often reserved for american MC's (sorry Europe)." URB (Next 100 of 2005) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Much better than Eminem." Some kid on Australian soap opera "Neighbours" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"TTC are poseurs in the best of ways, mack thespians with a penchant for steady slobbin' on your earlobe. They are as willfully lecherous as Serge G. at his best, and their producers, Tacteel and Para One, match the MC's cartoon cadences with the oh-so-French art of sardonic electro-funk, with DJ Orgasmic the Toxicologist (I know) on the cut. Much like their successful compatriots, Daft Punk, TTC sound like they're having loads of laughs at our expense." Pitchfork (8/10) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"The best hip-hop album released in the first half of 2005 isnt from our shores, and its not even by a dude named Mike Skinner. And its French (FREEDOM!!).TTCs sophomore LP Bâtards Sensibles is a skittering, thumping electro-hop classic, a modernization of the oldest schools most brilliant synth and drum machine moments, and the best example of flows vs. beats since Madvilliany. If youre looking for a contemporary reference point, think Daft Punk remixing Bone Thugs vs. Leaders of the New School, only good." Cokemachineglow (84%)

EDU K(MAN RECORDINGS, ESSAY, BRAZIL)
w/ special guest DJ Daniel Haaksman (MAN, ESSAY, BERLIN)
Everybody knows Edu K's hit "Popozuda Rock n´Roll". Now is the time for a whole album by the man they call the "K". It's entitled "Frenétiko" and it´s the first baile funk inspired artist album ever to be released outside of Brazil. It's forty five minutes of pure energy, blending the hottest sound of 21st century Brazil into a breathtaking, musical masterwork.
In 2000, Edu K produced the album "Miami Rock 2000". The album was a salute from the punk rockers to Rio de Janeiro's baile funk movement. For Edu K, the bass sound from the favelas of the sugarloaf city was punk in it's very essence reborn. Only that with baile funk, it wasnt three chords and a singer that made a song and a group, but three sampled loops and a street casted MC. Parallelly is the music's energy level as the DIY ethic of baile funk. "Miami Rock 2000" featured the track "Popozuda Rock n'Roll", which became a big hit in Brazil, and an anthem amongst Rio's funkeiros. The heavy metal rap song with the memorable chorus of big bootied girls in tight jeans was extensively played in the baile parties all across town. In 2004, "Popozuda Rock n'Roll" was released on the seminal compilation "Rio Baile Funk Favela Booty Beats" (Essay Recordings). From there, it was licensed for a Coca Cola TV advert campaign in Germany, landed on the famous mix CD by Belgium's A-List-Djs The Glimmers, and has become a steady burner on international freestyle dancefloors ever since.
In October 2005, Man Recordings rereleased "Popozuda Rock n'Roll" as a 12“ single, alongside remixes by Philadelphia's DJ Diplo, Rio de Janeiro's DJ Sandrinho and Edu K himself, in which he presented the first ever baile funk-reggaeton mash up to be released. In January 2006 Man Recordings released the 2nd Edu K single "Sex-O-Matic" featuring one of the hottest female Mcs of Rio de Janeiro, Deize Tigrona. Notorious for her ability to both sing the subtlest jazz tunes as well as the most lust dripping slack lyrics, "City Of God" resident Deize Tigrona'S MC skills were forged in the fires of hundreds of funk balls all across Rio over the years. In her performance she brillantly counters Edu's Mcing. The single was released with remixes by Solid Groove, another Edu K reggaeton mix and baile funk remixes by Rio's DJ Mavi+DJ Sany and DJ Edgar.
And now Edu K presents his newest musical effort, the "Frenétiko" album. It's the next level of Edu Ks musical vision in fusing a multitude of highly energetic musical styles into a big new sound. Call it baile punk, samba reggaeton or electro punk funk – Edu K's "Frenétiko" album is Brazil’s new millenium 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 and Co-MC Chilli Willi. Or "Faz Que EU Gosto", where the electronic and melodic Edu K songwriting shines through. "Hot Mama" adds Cuban flavours 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.
"Fifteen Minutes in the company of Brazilian MC EDU K is like being in the ring with both Muhammed Ali and Jessica Alba" - MIX MAG
"EDU K boils snatched swatches into a speaker-contorting, prostate-thumping and coochie-popping sexualized stew" - URB's NEXT 100
"For the past four years it;s been hard to escape "Popzuda Rock n' Roll", now with "Frenetiko" Edu K feels ready to take the sound of Brasil's ghettos to the world" - XLR8R
"I'll take Edu K over K-Fed any day of the week" - The Phoenix
