Born in Hong Kong, raised in the UK on a steady diet of skateboard culture and the music that accompanied it, and now based in Vienna Austria, Dj Beware is a one man international line up. Who better then to be one of the newest international artists to contribute to the funk carioca sound, a sound that prides its self on its ability to draw inspiration from all corners of the globe.
Earning his stripes in the trenches of DMC dj battles, Beware eventually garnered the attention of Daniel Haaksman, international funk carioca evangelist and owner of Man Recordings, baile funk's biggest non Brazilian distributor and proponent. He's contributed production to the Stereo MCs (remember them? well they're back!) and MC Gringo as well as a dj mix for Man Recordings.
I had been chatting a bit with B via the internets and when I heard he was coming through RJ on a mini tour do Brasil, I knew I had to track him down and say 'wutup'. I caught up with him after his show at Circovoador, before his gig at 00 (Zero Zero) and during his set at Diesel. The kid was going nonstop but was cool enough to take a breather long enough to conversate with the San FranCarioca. The four minute video was created from this conversation.
