An absolute bombshell, 'O Meu Estilo' ('My Style') is Lisbon-based DJ Nigga Fox's record debut. Real name Rogério Brandão, Nigga Fox came to our knowledge a few months ago, and we were immediately floored by what we were hearing. Still in his early 20s, Rogério has already played in all sorts of the greater Lisbon clubs, while discreetly refining his own productions. On this 12" he presents parts of his unbelievably vast pallet. As the title implies, there's nothing quite like this, even in Lisbon's ever more productive and creative beat-based music. He's taken all sorts of lessons from local producers, as well as from the tracks coming in from Luanda, and has done his unnameable hybrid, informed by kuduro, afro-house, Angolan deep, tarraxinha, batida, and created some of the dopest, freshest music we've heard in years. Opener "Hwwambo", as in all 5 tracks on this EP, finds just the perfect BPM for extremely positive and constructive bouncing. You can hear kids playing in the background, a digi accordion playing some unheard afro-modernist melodies, beautiful, sweet cut-up vocals, and the warmest bass-end you'll be dealing with anytime soon - this tastes like flowers smell. "Powerr" is gloriously weird, with its electro bassline, futuristic synths and South Africa-style snare work; the way Rogério is able to orchestrate all the timbrically disparate elements in the most natural of flows is what really got to us - that, and the fact that it just swings. "Weed" is one hell of a banger, totally on its own though in the lineage of Portuguese substance-induced dancefloor anthems - this shit is toxic, the most effervescent and heavy of the bunch. Just the drop itself would be worth the track - luckily it lasts for another tremendous 3 minutes, with all sorts of hypnotic, unexpected rhythmic evolutions. "O Badaah" is probably the most baffling of all the songs - sounds of kids playing in the park return, but the string arrangements are in Bernard Herrmann/Hitchcock territory, always melodically progressing right up until the end of the track. The sense of sequential narrative is present in all of these tracks, but this one in particular sounds like mid 20th century composition with contemporary polyrhythmia; a glorious curveball. Record ender "Só Nós 2" is one of the very best tarraxinhas we've ever heard - a super slow Angolan and Portuguese tradition that the West is catching up on -, this is built for rubbing pelvises everywhere in the world. Gorgeous, romantic and very, very hazy, its dub mixing state of mind and execution puts this one in a league of its own. Nigga Fox's sense of tone, timbre, texture and superimposition is baffling, and we can assure this is built by a very free and mature mind, for your happiness and listening pleasure. Vinyl 12" limited to 300 hand-painted, hand-stamped copies.
