Airto Old Mervue Edits

Two mysterious extended edits of Brazilian jazz-dance
brilliance arrive from the unlikely shores around Salford
Quays via the cultural hotbed that is Old Mervue.
Rumour has it a certain Manchester drummer, DJ and
producer, better known as Moodymanc and Balaphonic,
might be behind the razor-and-tape treatment.
The source material comes from legendary Brazilian
percussionist Airto Moreira, whose funk-laden fusion of
deep grooves and sun-drenched vibes has been a
staple for discerning DJs for decades.
Here, the classics “Amadour” and “Toque de Cuíca”
receive respectful dancefloor extensions that keep the
spirit of the originals intact while giving selectors a little
extra room to work.
Whether you’re discovering them for the first time or
they’ve lived in your crate since the rare-groove and
jazz-dance days, these white-label updates are essential
DJ tackle.
