electrohouse

A common interest in great music brought these two electric souls together. Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatick not only rule the Stockholm club scene

João Barbosa aka J-Wow is one of the driving forces and the main producer of the Portugese outfit Buraka Som Sistema. He deals in Kudoro; a strange but ass-shaking mix of early house, calypso rythms and excellent gritty voices. Could be described as the missing link between baile funk, breakbeat and Baltimore-style bass.

Of all the exciting new electro sounds coming out of the East these days - Swanky Tunes ranks among the most noteworthy. The group formed in 1998, experimenting with different electronic stylings in pursuit of their own sound. At first, there were techno sounds mixed with vintage synthesizers. Then the group moved into a distinctly big-beat influenced sound. These days, hints of the French-house scene, early Depeche Mode, electro-80's, and the contemporary electro-house movement are all finding their way into the mix.
