Enchufada A Lisbon Club Story

Description

To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Lisbon-based label Enchufada is releasing “A Lisbon Club Story,” a 20-track handpicked compilation bridging bass music, trap, grime and rave, baile funk, kuduro, batida, afro-house and other dance styles. Mixing 12 archive tracks and eight new cuts, the LP brings together some of the biggest champions of today’s afro-diasporic and international bass music scene, from iconic Portuguese figures like Buraka Som Sistema - back with their first track in 12 years -, DJ Marfox and Shaka Lion, to emerging talents such as Vanyfox and international stars like Dengue Dengue Dengue and Mina. Twenty years ago, Enchufada was launched to promote the first EP by the emerging Lisbon group Buraka Som Sistema. Only 500 copies of the CD “From Buraka To The World” were pressed at the time. Each sleeve was handmade from recycled paper sourced from various factories around Lisbon, giving them a unique artisanal look, assembled from ads for baby oil and paint. The CDs sold out in a week, marking the start of an adventure that would include iconic albums such as “Sound of Kuduro” (featuring M.I.A.) and “African Scream,” and many more.
