DJ set I can't ado much about - Bebe Poco "Apresentação dos L.S Produções"

Four total units are required. The ingredients are neither rare nor difficult to ascertain. Moreover, the directions are simple enough that an illiterate can follow them. So long as the tools with which to combine them all that are available, preparation should last about as long as enjoyment of the dish itself: about ten minutes. As always, cleaning up will prove to be the most laborious task of all. Ready? One part of promotion, one part fandom, and two parts awesome - that is this mix on a surface level.

A quality that is often is taken for granted in any set of culinary instructions, however, is skill. Talent, learned or otherwise, is easy to overlook. Not only that, but ability takes more than one single form. If nothing else, this mini-mix serves as an example that skill is amorphous and very much relevant in putting together a set of any duration. Enter stage right: Bebe Poco (Ýouknow). A DJ in the traditional sense, Bebe Poco is prolific; but rather than publish original compositions, he proves himself to be an adept organizer. Not only can the man known as Bebe isolate a good song, but he is also able to give it conjecture.

On this mix in particular, one of two released this week, Bebe Poco introduces listeners to the Queluz crew L.S Produções. The source material - relevant at all times - is consistently energetic. Fast-tempo kuduro, batida, and afro-house tracks dominate but are gently introduced by means of of fade-in. A Cirofox song from earlier in the summer is featured just as prominently as Willicox's solo and collaborative release from last week. Transitions in the apresentação are seamless mainly because they follow the Bebe Poco modus operandi: fearlessness. Much like on the ghetto party mix - a mostly CDM themed mix - Bebe is not afraid to play two songs simultaneously because he is able to make it work. As a result, the general feel is more a purposeful collection of sounds rather than a mere playlist. Make sure to enjoy the download.
