Via Kode9, an astonishingly blown out ruffride from
https://djramonsucesso.bandcamp.com/album/sexta-dos-crias
Not sure if this bruxaria or some other subset of funk carioca (it's funny how these scenes / styles dip into wider-world view and then dip out again and then.... after quite a bit.... dip back in again... see also the periodic excitements about Jersey Club )
It hits that spot of so-wrong-it's-right, is-this-music-yet-I'm-not-sure-who cares that you had with early grime or early darkcore
Kode mentioned that a key element of bruxaria is drastic overuse of side-chain compression (see this old blogpost which engages with ideas of Ryan Diduck about side-chain as defining sound of the now)
It's a bit much for everyday listening (trying to concentrate on anything else almost impossible while it's on!). In truth my metabolism more in alignment with the Andre 3000 record these days....
But one for the TikTok / ADD generation for sure.
