Bonde Do Rolê – With Lasers
DJ’s who crisscross the globe, inevitably open their ears and wallets to the local flavors. On a trip to Brazil, American DJ and producer, Diplo, witnessed and soon championed Brazil’s baile funk scene, which harness its energy as much from Miami bass and funk as its own musical heritage. With backing of his own label, Mad Decent, Diplo has brought teenage youngsters Bonde Do Rolê to a world stage. Delivering a sound that owes as much to early electro Hip Hop as well as hair metal, it’s a weird amalgamation that seems unlikely to be entertaining. But remember the fierceness of early Run DMC? This too is built upon playful rhymes (though mainly undecipherable if English is your only language) about sex, partying, and boredom that builds on call and response lyrics either sung or rapped. The beats that pound out are bass heavy and charged for the dance floor. Every summer needs a dance anthem, and this is primed with club-inducing fun.
