Sound System

Description

Creativity that embraces diversity and personality a new talent steps out of the Brazilian dance scene. With a fistful of Dubplates mixing house and reggae and touches of Latin beats all merge into raw club jams. Free flowing spontaneous with a heavy dose of psychedelics and the haze of a smoker’s delight Especial welcomes DJ producer live artist label manager promoter mixing and mastering engineer the soon to be heralded far and wide Rafael Capetini. An artist who experiences music in a deeply personal way presenting differentperceptions through an amalgam of sounds and selections in an innovative vision all swamped in doses of dub. Little known outside of his native Rio and Brazil this is about to change. The 5 selections presented his are a true “Showcase” in the reggae tradition. From bumping steppers of Househall and the anthemic perfectly titled The Clash to the deeper percussive sounds of title cut Sound System and Rei dos Reis before closing with the percussive beats of Til I Die Capetini’s love of the likes of Mad Professor and the Ariwa sound Rhythm & Sound Ron Trent Swayzak and Rob Paine’s Worship Recordings is apparent and respectful all while mining sampling and praising with love the folklore and history of Jamaica’s unique offering to the world dub reggae. Forging a new path echo-drenched heavy sub bass mixing in some Rio swing while eschewing hype by building from the ground up running the grass roots Doblado Records label co-founding the Sonia parties and holding down DJ residencies all the while finding his true home in the Sound System.
