New Music: Bonde do Role: "Gasolina (LGK Remix)" [MP3]
With Brazilian baile funk-bringers Bonde do Role having just made the jump from Diplo's Mad Decent label to Domino Records, we're pretty psyched about the debut full-length they've got coming out later this year. Well, today we got our hands on this exclusive remix of their recent single "Gasolina" by fellow Brazilianaires LGK, which supplants the heavier beat of the original (now streaming on the BdR MySpace) with a more minimal backdrop, and plays up emphasis on the marching band horn blasts, twisting them into menacing air-raid sirens. Meanwhile, Marina Ribatski's Portuguese chants and "Afrika Bambaataa" namedrops anchor the track, spliced up and reassembled until they become a central element of the beat.
