CAPITULO EXPERIMENTAL by DJ NARCISO

From the label:

"‘Capítulo Experimental’ follows in hot pursuit of the weirder, offbeat ‘Diferenciado’ set with a wickedly
expressive slew of club moves that share a certain emotive pathos and cadence with Narciso’s recent sibling
set. The album continues a decisive schism from his work as part of RS Produções which began with the ’10
Minutes’ 12” in 2023 and now comes to fruition in these hard working, grimy variants of kuduro and batida,
tempered with detours to moody downbeats.
In step with Narciso’s cohort of Lisbon-orbiting contemporaries there’s a measured maturity to the pacing
and spacious arrangements on ‘Capítulo Experimental’ that connote a fresh, trippy sexiness and sort of sunny
breeziness that anyone from more northerly latitudes will associate with modern electronic dance music
from Portugal’s Atlantic coast and the broader Black Atlantic rhizome, from Jersey to Rio de Janeiro.
Bouncing deep techno in ‘Teleguio’ signals a change of pace that puts the wind behind the sails of dub-wise
stepper ’Sunset’ and the nagging tang of ’Não Sabes’, thru to the moodier choral pitch of ’Dificuldades’ or
‘Livra-Me Desta’, and what sounds like Jersey club dialled in by aliens on ‘Dor De Barriga’. Closer to a former,
downbeat style, the bloozy sway of ‘Ultra’ and distorted, psychy blare of his lead to ’Não Quero’ and the oddball
half step lean of ’Só Vai’ keep it distinctively, satisfyingly weird for the legion club nuts currently obsessed
with Príncipe for precisely this sort of stuff."
