Buraka Som Sistema

A rare DJ and MC set by the Portuguese crew (who are recording in London this week). Producers Lil' John, Riot and Conductor and MC Kalaf plus guest MCs and dancers crank up the Angolan kuduru beats and global ghetto funk on a techno to turbo D&B tip. Buraka have invited two acts they've supported in Lisbon through their own Enchufada label to join them in London: DJ Diamond Bass also fuses Brazilian and African sounds while Paus deliver a double-drum kit set of percussive frenzy, vocals and layered synths. Zombies For Money (Trouble & Bass) and the Bounty crew, who host the whole over floor with DJs Martelo, Khalil and more, complete the bill.
