ALBUM REVIEWS
"Brazil:Sambossica by DJ Seduce is one of the most refreshing compilations in recent times. Made up by new Brazilian talent it gives us an idea of the new sounds being produced in Brazil today..." 
- Brazilian Hour w/ Sergio Mielniczenko 

"Material that's right up there with some of the best material from labels like Far Out or Trama" 
- Dusty Groove America 

"The sound is the audio equivalent of a curated samba through low-key lounges and high-energy clubs, with DJ Seduce as the tour guide!" 
- Desert Living Magazine

Shout out to Dusty Groove in Chicago for stocking our New B-Side Players vinyl 45! *limited edition! released on Afro:Baile Records!
​​
As said by DG - 
"A warm mix of funk, reggae, and a bit of hip hop – served up in a tune that comes across with a crackling sort of freshness overall! Lyrics are a mix of sung chorus and spoken verses – and the groove has a rising/falling horn passage that really underscores the meaning of the tune! "La Vuelta" is a bit mellower overall, but has this snapping funky drum at the core!"

Thanks for the support! Stop in or order online at www.dustygroove.com.
