San FranCarioca Featured On 'Man Recorder'

I got a nice email the other day from Daniel Haaksman of international funk powerhouse, Man Recordings in Berlin. Daniel and his stable of artists have been featured prominently in a few postings here on the San FranCarioca. My recent video interview with Dj Beware caught his attention and he wrote asking for permission to repost it on his blog, Man Recorder. Of course I was flattered and told Daniel, by all means, go right ahead. If you're a fan of carioca funk or innovative dance music in general, do yourself a favor and head over to the Man Recorder now to read recent posts on influential German New Wave act, DAF (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft or German American Friendship, a reinterpreted expression from the Cold War era) as well as more newness from those crazy Italians, Crookers. Essential reading (and listening)!

I started this back in SF and then put it away. I finished it recently after soaking up the vibe here the past few weeks. I guess it's sort of where I've been heading, production wise, with the San Francarioca thing...fusing funk carioca influences with a bit of electro 'frisco freakiness.

The remix contains some classic tamborzao funk elements, a groove lifted from a Fernanda Abreu track, some Macumbinha elements from the north..and some chopped guitar from they might be giants. hmmmm.
