DJ Nuts lives! Haven't heard anything from him in ages. Nice
he has a weekly night in São Paulo in this bar that's basically the local DJ/cratedigger hangout, it's pretty cool. This set is part of a whole series of videos on his buddy Marcelo D2's Twitch channel, where he's basically broadcasting the whole production process on his new album. Considering D2 is one of the top MCs/producers in Brazil, it's essentially a line-up of every top MC and beat maker right now.
Love that Sinal Vermelho track 14 minutes in. Also the weird cover of Toni Tornado Me Libertei. Nuts brings the goods
for some reason they uploaded 2 mixes by Nuts with the exact same name, but they're different. I think you watched the one that's more like his standard set these days, the one I posted above is a set of tr00 afro-brazilian religious music
Oh true, I watched 15 minutes of it here and then searched it out on my tablet and yeah, that's what happened - the other mix is more than an hour long so I don't know how I didn't notice.
someone gave my daughter a little toy accordion and I never realized how hard that thing is to play. At least the toy one you really have to keep it moving just to get the notes out, I don't even know how you get those rhythms going.
I thought the same till I tried a full size one - they are much smoother and easier to get a tone out. But like with any instrument, these virtuosos make it look way easier than it is. Hell there are accordions that are button-only on both sides, no piano keys. Those button matrices have redundant/repeated notes on them so you don't have to overextend your fingers to hit the notes you need, but it sure makes for a head-scratcher when you try it for the first time.

More Brazilian reggae from the lead singer of Grupo Karetas. This song resonates with those from the north.

(I look forward to seeing her in November)
(Joao Bosco. 40 minute show)
(Selected for the goofy fun factor, but Ed Motta, Tim Maia's nephew, still stands on his own as a great musician)
(Revisiting some of these NB videos because songs on their first two LPs are sometimes part of discussions with my teacher)
