Nobody Beats the Drums - Their debut album 'Beats Work " brought them from America to Russia and from Morocco to Turkey. But what is less known, is that in recent years the band has also made remixes for others artists. The remix-album, called 'Remixes We Did' will be released next week (February 2011). The tracklist contains remixes for TWR72, Giovanca, Etienne de Crecy, Zuco103, Jack Parow, Shameboy, Distrakt, Kensington, Boemklatsch, Mightyfools, Aux Raus and Jaimie Fanatic. In the mean time, the boys are now working on a new studio album which will be released [...]

In Portuguese, madrugada means 'late at night'. A more aptly named song for this series is hard to come by. I became enamored by the original version of 'Madrugada' deep into my recent Zuco 103 binge, a binge that shows no sign of abating (you can listen to the remixed version here ). It seems that the more you listen to Zuco 103, the better they become. The Euro-Brazilian trio (Lilian Vieira, Stefan Schmid and Stefan Kruger) continue to dazzle on their latest album After the Carnaval (2008), from where Madrugada comes from. It's sparse, relaxing tune featuring a [...]

Perhaps the biggest draw in Zuco 103's music, besides the stellar arrangements and vibrant electronic instrumentals, is Lilian Vieira's voice. Jussara continues to be one of my favorite tracks ever mostly due to the fact that it's her voice that croons over the soft, lush bossa rhythm. So it's not surprising that even when the rhythm and arrangements are outside Zuco's control and rather remixed and remastered by an excellent cast of DJs and producers, as in the recent album of Zuco 103 remixes, After the Carnaval Retouched, Lilian's voice still holds her own and adds a distinct sensuality to [...]

There are 11 amazing songs on this list because I am horrible at making Top 10 lists. Featured here are 11 of my absolute favorite canções posted on Caipirinha Lounge over the last six months. Making this list was hell as there were many great songs to choose from but it's a good exercise in decision making, if anything. I would love to hear your thoughts/comments/Top 10 List, and if you feel that there is a song you think ought to be on this list and I am clinically insane for not including it here, speak up! [...]

Some weeks ago I wrote a post about É Verão , a song by Duo Ouro Negro that captured the essence of summer. It was lazy, carefree, and melodic, and the lyrics were the embodiment of a typical summer day at the beach. The Duo talked about stolen kisses and rolling waves, of brilliant sunshine and no worries. In that same vein, but in a slightly different delivery, I want to share with you three more songs that, in my view, capture the feelings and emotions associated with summer. Which, I might add, is in its last throes here [...]

Le duo Hollandais Kraak & Smaak n'a pas seulement sorti un des tout meilleurs singles de l'an dernier (l'inépuisable "Squeeze me" ), un de mes préférés en tout cas, il s'avère également très doué pour les remixes léchés et ultra funky. La preuve avec deux de leurs récentes relectures pleines de breaks saisissants, pour respectivement un duo Anglais au succès en devenir et un trio Germano-Brésilien déjà établi. Smoove & Turrell "You Don't Know" (Kraak & Smaak Remix) Zuco 103 [...]

Boven alles is New Cool Collective een geweldige liveband. Helemaal als ze in bigband-bezetting spelen zijn er niet veel betere bands op het podium dan deze band rond Benjamin Herman. De spelvreugde spat er vanaf en de energie golft gelukkig...
