2009 was a good year for EXPLOITED with heavy releases from Minimow (Mowgli), Zoo Brazil, Basti Grub, Malente&Dex, Adam Sky, Lorenz Rhode, Chernobyl and a labelcompilation by Shir Khan (CD of the month in Mixmag&DJ-Mag) as well as various features on big compilations. 2010 is going to be heavy! For now grab the free Renaissance Man Remix of Chernobyl which was already posted some time ago at Mad Decent, The Fader and Discobelle.
Since 1995 Dj Chernobyl has had a profound effect on the direction of Brazil's music scene.
He is a pioneer and responsible for bringing Baile Funk (brazilian booty beat) to the world of rock through his band "Comunidade Nin-Jitsu", influencing Edu K to produce his world famous hit "Popozuda".
Chernobyl discovered and signed Bonde do Role, produced their album, introduced them to Diplo (who released them on his Mad Decent label) and has produced most of the tracks on their album ‘With Lasers‘, out on Domino Records.
In 2009 he met Portuguese producers Pedro (Radio Fazuma/Dj Mpula) and Beat Laden from BATIDA who introduced him to PRAGA from Cabo Verde. Chernobyl started editing Baile Funk beats for Praga and made a new Baile Funk vibe mixing his beatbox with Brazilian beats, adding crazy synths and Baile Funk horns to it. BALANÇA has a new balance as this sound mixes Afro-Portugese Raps, American Hip Hop-melodies, Brazilian beats, European Electro noises and Ragga snares.
More remixes in the package over at Beatport including Samim, Toy Selectah, Dex, Edu K, Beat Laden, Joao Brasil and of course Renaissance Man.
