23 Apr 2008 - Andy Votel presents 'Brazilika' OUT NOW!
BRAZILIKA mixed by ANDY VOTEL OUT NOW!
“Perfect fodder for freak-friendly dance-floors insearch of bizarre beats” ANDY VOTEL
Following on from previous Brazilka selectors by dance music pioneers Kenny Dope and 4hero, Far Out Recordings decided to peer further down the periscope and brought in Manchester based Andy Votel. A highly respected record collector; known internationally amongst DJ's, record collectors and producers as a champion of obscure psych-folk-prog-hiphop-jazz-trash-kraut-fuzz-tropicalia and funk. Andy Votel’s expertise in unearthing and popularising left field and long lost forgotten musical gems is evident from the material released on his Manchester based record label Finders Keepers and has previously worked with the likes of Badly Drawn Boy and as well as released artist albums through XL Recordings.
Votel’s twisted tale unearths a vast array of weird and wonderful musical stories from the likes of Os Mutantes, Novos Bianos, Sidney Miller, Os Brazoes and Azymuth. All tracks were originally conceived in the same climate that spawned samba rock and tropicalia yet pages away from the scrutiny of the political dictatorships of the 1970s and very different to the catalogues held by the European majors.
