Stripping baile funk down the very bones, Anderson do Paraíso is one of the most influential producers and DJs of ‘funk mineiro’, the dark, downtempo variant of the Brazilian genre that’s emerged in recent years from the city of Belo Horizonte. In direct contrast to baile funk’s typical maximalism - loud drums, even louder MCs - the 27-year old artist’s unorthodox approach to Brazil’s most famous musical exports emphasises minimalism, atmosphere and tension. His ghostly productions have a mysterious energy that’s part horror film and part dancefloor narcotic. Don’t miss one of the most unique DJs we’ve had at Sónar by Night in recent years.
