FADER Mix: Branko

Earlier this month, Branko—a founding member of kuduro-blasting Portuguese crew Buraka Som Sistema—released a debut solo album called ATLAS. Its concept was as straightforward as its title: the producer (real name João Barbosa) travelled to Cape Town, New York, São Paulo, Amsterdam, and Lisbon to collaborate with local artists and make an album packed full of the collaborators and sounds he discovered there. The result not only includes features from the likes of New York rapper Mr Muthafuckin eXquire and South African MC Okmalumkoolkat, but a head-spinning blend of genres, from kwaito house to zouk bass. To mark its release, Barbosa has put together the latest in our FADER Mix series: 40 minutes of the most exciting sounds he encountered on his world tour, including nods to Lisbon's DJ Nigga Fox, Durban's Rudeboyz, and Stockholm's Dinamarca.
