Festsaal Kreuzberg - Am Flutgraben 2

The Brazilian artist Patrick Tor4 is the creator of Baile Tropical, an itinerant party that mixes tropical and Afro-Latin rhythms and has happened in over than 10 countries.

The DJ and producer introduces his new single #ONDANOVA, a song that marks the return of the multi-artist as a music producer, four years after the release of his last song, “Cai na Roda”. The single is sung by Brazilian vocalist Maria Flor, produced by Leo D. and is distributed by the French-Brazilian label Abatjour Records.

#ONDANOVA is the result of mixed musical influences by Patricktor4, flowing from the axe music of Bahia, the afrohouse of Martin Solveig and Bob Sinclair and the Rio de Janeiro “carioca” funk. “Feel my bass embracing you”, jokes Patrick about his new sound. “#ONDANOVA is a clear attempt to create an “authentic” Brazilian style house music, with strong elements like the percussive swing from Africa to the riffs of the funk keyboards crafted in the 90’s and the early axe music developed in the 80’s. We crafted a song to the dancefloor with a Brazilian accent and the tropical flavor”, he says.

Such mixed influence is the result of a life on the road,Patricktor4 has lived in many different Brazilian cities. Born in the state of Bahia, in the northeast of Brazil, the blackest state out of Africa,Patricktor4 has spent most of his 38 years back and forth the north and northeast of Brazil, where the African and Native influences are older and stronger. During his voyages he witnessed, heard and absolved influences of popular music from these places.

Patricktor4 is today one of the leading Brazilian DJs and producers. Head of “Baile Tropical”, an itinerant party that has already toured in over than 10 countries, the artist researches new trends of tropical, african, latin and brazilian music, always on the lookout to launch new talents. His event, created in 2010 in Belém do Pará, in the north of Brazil, has already surpassed the mark of 100 editions.

Patricktor4’s music, as the DJ is known, reflects the sounds played in the “Bailes” and seeks to reconnect old tradicional music styles to the new urban textures filled with electronic beats and popular ghetto rhytms, such as the cumbia, zouk, “brega” and samba.

This trend of the new tropical music is gaining popularity on dance floors of the world’s major cities. The release of the single is the beginning of a partnership with Abatjour that aims to take Patricktor4 and his sharp curatorship to showcase the new afrolatin music in the USA and Europe.

Psicotrópicos Festival - DA MATTA

DJ DA MATTA

NEW BRAZILIAN MUSIC

OFFICIAL OPEN PARTY: FRIDAY, MARCH 20 - 22H30

Festsaal Kreuzberg - Am Flutgraben 2

DA MATTA is a Brazilian artist, club DJ, percussionist and live promoter and is a crucial filter and curator enabling the 'now' sound of Brazil to cross continents through two production enterprises: BOSSA FM (Berlin) and Yellow Noises (Portugal).

His DJ sets elevate, with one foot rooted in South American and black music culture, the other tapping to the electronic eccentricities local to the dancefloors of Europe. A self confessed vinyl addict, the tower of influence stems from both fresh and classic strands of boogie, disco, jazz, Brazilian funk, bossa soul and afro samba - blended and cut - often embued with electronic bleeps and bass designed squarely at the dancefloor.

Now living in one of Europe's burgeoning tropical music centres, Berlin, his love affair with the black soul of Brazil informs both his work as promoter and DJ. DA MATTA was raised in the bustling city of Rio De Janeiro; a musical playground for him, forever entranced by the sounds blaring out of every street gathering and beach shack. He set sail to the sun soaked southern Spanish European capital in 2011 becoming a resident DJ at the renowned El Junco nightclub and in 2016 found himself setting up shop in Europe's club capital, Berlin.

DA MATTA launched BOSSA FM back in 2016 which has become a go-to discovery portal for Brazilian music. In 2018 launched the production agency Yellow Noises LDA and has promoted European tours for names such Zeca Pagodinho, Maria Rita, Nando Reis, Martinho da Vila, Milton Nascimento, Gal Costa and the king of Latin music, Roberto Carlos.

São Paulo, November 2019 - 32 year career portrayed in a work that highlights the professional career of one of the leading international names in electronic music from Belo Horizonte, Brazil ,”DJ Anderson Noise.”This is “Noise on the Moon - The Story of Dj Anderson Noise” (Natura Musical), which will be released on Centro Cultural Olido São Paulo, January 30th, and Psicotrópicos Festival Berlin, March 19th.

The project that includes the book signing party which was selected to receive sponsorship from Natura Music in the public notice dedicated to the state of Minas Gerais, through the State Law of Incentive for the Culture of Minas Gerais. "Natura Musical was created to value Brazilian music at different stages, fostering the renewal of production and valuing the preservation of our musical legacy."

Written throughout the year 2019, by journalist Claudia Assef, the biography “Noise on the moon - The Story of DJ Anderson Noise” is anchored in the life of the boy born into a humble family in Belo Horizonte who eventually became one of the most relevant names in Electronic music. But not only that.

“Writing a biography is almost like having a deep biography therapy session. There are moments of joy, of overcoming, of sadness, of failure, and a look with a very particular filter to the world, ”explains Claudia.

“Noise on the Moon“ plunges into the soul of the DJ, who even with little study, has become a techno heritage in Brazil. The book weaves Anderson's story with the development of Belo Horizonte's

night scene with memories of places that have marked the city, such as the mythical “The Great Brazilian Disaster” and the “Drosóphyla bar.”

Accumulating over 32 years of his career, Anderson Noise was one of those responsible for the development of electronic music in his hometown, where he organized over 40 major parties/events bearing his brand. But its impact was felt far beyond Belo Horizonte.

Anderson pioneered the creation of an online radio program in the early days of the internet (Radio Noise, UOL, 2002-2017),preceding the success of podcasts; and a YouTube channel before “youtubers” blew up .Also Brazil's first weekly Brazilian electronic music channel:TV Noise); He set up the Noise Music label (the oldest techno label in Brazil),that released over 200 releases.At the height of his career, in 2003, he made a historic closing set at Skol Beats, a milestone for many people to this day.

In addition to playing in virtually every Brazilian state, Anderson has travelled the world and his passport has more than 30 stamps from countries where he took his brand sound “Noise”. Among the most visited, England and Japan.

Not to mention things that we don't even dream that a DJ would be able to perform, such as playing with an orchestra in Sala São Paulo (the Bachiana Philharmonic, conducted by conductor João Carlos Martins) or working with one of his biggest idols, Milton Nascimento who sang one of the songs by the band “Nie Myer” which the DJ is a member of with Lelo Zanetti and Henrique Portugal, from Skank.

“Noise on the Moon”traces the relationship between this Mineiro and the terrestrial satellite, since Anderson was born on July 21, 1969, a few hours after man stepped on the moon.

With 164 pages, the book brings together testimonials from people who are part of the life of the DJ, collected from many hours of conversation and photographs that help put together the overall picture of the DJ and the development of the Minas Gerais electronic scene. In addition to a playlist hosted on the Internet, with more than 100 featured songs in this 30-year trajectory, which will be accessed by reading a QRCode printed on the datasheet, or by the link that directs the reader to this collection.

For the first time, Anderson opens up about his personal life and talks about sensitive topics such as alcoholism, depression and panic attacks for example:“These are very current topics and less discussed than they should be. Talking is a way of raising awareness, ”says the DJ.

The work, whose edition is bilingual, was written in Portuguese and English. “This enables the book to spread around the world over time,” emphasizes Noise.

Anderson is still active and is far from wanting to hang up his headphones.

Performs monthly in Sao Paulo, where he is a resident DJ at D-Edge.

Noise produced great collaborations in 2002 in the Salvador Carnaval with singer Daniela Mercury and placed a track on her electronic album. Also the fantastic project “João Carlos Martins & Anderson Noise” in Concert with the Bachiana Philharmonic Orchestra of São Paulo was performed in May of 2009 and in 2011 at Sala São Paulo. Another great collaboration was in 2013 with Anderson Noise & Jacob Bro. The band was formed in 1991 by the Bro Trio, a Danish Jazz Band. Then in 2016, Henrique Portugal and Lelo Zanetti from the band “Skank” and Anderson formed the Band ”Nie Myer“ that mixes Bossa Nova, Jazz and electronic music. They also recorded with Milton Nascimento in the song “Vikings" that’s on that album coming out soon on the Sony Label. In 2017 Anderson composed the official music for the Mineirão Stadium’s 52nd Anniversary Celebration. In 2019 "Quae Sera Tamem (Savassi By Night)" was composed in partnership with the Brazilian King of Pop, Lulu Santos, which is on the new album "Pra Sempre”.
