Gilles Peterson is an influential DJ and record-label owner from Switzerland, who moved to London, as a boy. Through his labels Acid Jazz and Talkin’ Loud he has been associated with the careers of countless well-known artists of the 1990s.
UK pressing. 2009 compilation compiled by world renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, including five exclusive unreleased tracks. Taking it back to the old school and presenting Brazil's best new talent, Brazilika IV seamlessly mixes through Far Out's wide ranging styles. A close friend to Joe Davis for 25 years, Gilles Peterson has been a constant supporter of Joe's original and best UK based Brazilian record label. The pair released the original Brazilika compilation on Gilles' Talking Loud label 15 years ago and now they go full circle with the fourth installment in Far Out's Brazilika series, following block party mixes from Kenny Dope, 4 Hero and Andy Votel. Brazilian music aficionado Peterson introduced a new generation to the cream of Brazil's Bossa and post-Bossa artists and here expertly blends the cream of the timeless (Ipanemas, Grupo Batuque, Azymuth and Arthur Verocai) with the new breed (Clara Moreno, Binario and Zeep) from Far Out's monumental catalog.
While serviceable as a fashionable background-music mix, this 15th-anniversary celebration of the excellent London-based Brazilian label Far Out is rather traduced by too many brainless production gimmicks (such as the truly dreadful Krishnanda's underwater cowbells) and slapdash remixes.
That still leaves a dozen or so great tracks by the likes of The Ipanemas and the veteran Rio-born singer-songwriter Joyce, but it may be better to check out the original albums, where purity of sound is assured.
