News — Dance 12"

Release date: 27/10/17 | Formats: 12" Vinyl / Digital Pre-order from the Far Out Shop | Bandcamp  Back behind the drums and swinging harder than ever, with his new titanium hip crowdfunded by the immense generosity of friends and fans, brazilian drumming legend and one third of Azymuth, Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti releases a brand new solo album next year with Far Out Recordings. It’s his first solo release in over twenty years and the first to come out on vinyl since his 1984 Milestone classic The Human Factor. As people of earth may not quite be ready for the explosive cosmic...

Rivalling their legendary output from the ‘70s onwards, Brazilian jazz-funk pioneers Azymuth’s latest album Fênix saw the band on top form, with their trademark samba doido (crazy samba) sounding as slick as ever. Since then, we've commissioned a special one-off remix for the project, from Chicago house legend Ron Trent, who has long cited Azymuth as musical heroes and one of his biggest influences. With a toughened groove and gorgeous swirls of synth and pad embellishments, Ron’s remix takes Azymuth’s futurist-disco even deeper... Out 16th June. Pre-order on 12" vinyl and digitally from the Far Out Shop | Bandcamp

As you'll know by now, the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra is Far Out’s in-house Brazilian disco super group, featuring arrangements by the late, great Azymuth maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami and the legendary Arthur Verocai. Now on its 14th release, the remix series is a sizeable and ever-growing arsenal of disco and house weaponry, with a prolific list of contributors including Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman, Andrés, Dego, Mark Pritchard, John Morales, DJ Spinna and 4hero. The latest offering comes from Glaswegian disco maverick Al Kent. Al is Scotland’s answer to Walter Gibbons, a global authority on disco music, and an expert...

A true studio visionary, Daniel Maunick virtually grew up behind the mixing desk. As the son of Incognito’s Jean-Paul ‘Bluey’ Maunick he’s had his ear to the ground since the dawn of British jazz-funk, and it stayed there throughout the heydays of jungle, broken beat and house. As one of Far Out Recordings’ in-house producers his stamp can be found on albums by Azymuth, Marcos Valle and Sabrina Malheiros, to name a few, but his latest credit on the catalogue is squarely focused on the dancefloor: the next chapter of his Dokta Venom alias, Moodswings. Each track brings you a...

Following the recent release of Azymuth’s new album Fênix, we're proud to announce a 12” reissue of two of the Brazilian mavericks’ heaviest dance cuts, remastered from the original Outubro tapes. Alex Malheiros’ earth-shaking slap bass in the first few seconds of ‘Dear Limmertz’ makes up an iconic moment in jazz-funk history. Next to their groundbreaking disco hit ‘Jazz Carnival’, it’s one of the heftiest of Azymuth’s dense and still growing catalogue of floor fillers, along with being one of the trio’s most recognized tunes. The flip is home to the equally club ready ‘Maracana’, another super-heavy jazz-funk belter encompassing...
