The kick-off of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil is rapidly approaching so high time we start pointing you towards the right soundtrack for that event. Far Out Recordings' 'Far Out presents Brazilian Bass' is already a nice suggestion. As the title suggests 'Far Out presents Brazilian Bass' focuses on just about every conceivable music genre in which the bass plays a pivotal role, from (samba-) reggae and dub (Junior Dread, Aton Dub, Bemba Trio and like in the tracklist of 'Daora: Underground Sounds Of Urban Brazil' Soraia Drummond and Annelis Assumpção are also present) over hip-hop (O Quadro) to afro-electro ('Omin' by the aptly named Afroelectro) and of course electro-samba ('Baião' by Mental Abstrato), with local artists providing a Brazilian twist. The capital of Brazilian bass music is Salvador, Bahia where the district surrounding Pelourinho square has become a hub for Afro-Brazilian culture.
