With incredible percussion layers, soft melodies and vocal samples, Lilocox continues to push the boundaries\u00a0of ghetto-based batida music. It&#8217;s made its way onto dancefloors everywhere, confirming the global appeal of the genre.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Vozes Ricas&#8221; blends complex patterns with synths and vocal samples. The drums carry the rhythm transporting us at one moment into house music &#8211; reminiscent of the 90&#8217;s techno anthems &#8211;\u00a0then at another moment into something\u00a0more tribal.\u00a0It&#8217;s\u00a0hypnotic, energetic and designed for dancing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/368926394&amp;color=%23e02f2f&amp;inverse=false&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_user=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"20\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bcTruncateMore\">&#8220;Ritmos E Melodias&#8221; lives up to its name. More melodic at times, it then shifts towards a house beat balanced by a background rattle more commonly associated with the slower tarraxo vibes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bcTruncateMore\">&#8220;Paz &amp; Amor&#8221; demonstrates Lilocox&#8217;s ability to borrow from a range of styles. A blend of funk music and techno drums.\u00a0 We can hear echoes of his debut single <em>La Party<\/em>, but we see how far he has progressed since. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bcTruncateMore\">&#8220;Samba&#8221; gets you\u00a0from the very beginning because of Lilocox&#8217;s astonishing drum construction. But when the kick comes in (around the 2-minute mark) fusing bassline and drums, we experience something unique. You will find this music practically does away with the need for a bassline because the rhythm inventions keep the feet moving effortlessly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fronteiras&#8221; is an intensely emotional and catchy tune\u00a0with\u00a0a\u00a0discrete and minimal bassline. It follows the beat more or less independently, its celestial harmonies reminding us of the bonds we all share.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/368927261&amp;color=%23e02f2f&amp;inverse=false&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_user=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"20\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Order a copy of the EP from\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/principediscos.bandcamp.com\/album\/paz-amor\">Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Read next :\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/lisbonne-l-africaine\/\">Music in the City: African Lisbon<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/principediscos.bandcamp.com\/album\/paz-amor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14950\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"3000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-1440x1440.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Amor-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 5-track EP where the producer brilliantly borrows from a range of genres.
