Meo Mengo Azymuth

Top disco/house producer Mark E delivers his third remix for Far Out - a distinctive, mesmeric slow-burning mix of Azymuth's 'Meu Mengo', taken from the legendary samba jazz-funk trio's huge new album 'Aurora' (FARO157CD/LP).

Mark E brings this natural progression mix to late-night dance floor life drawing upon his wide-ranging influences - rave, early Chicago house, industrial house & disco - to produce his quintessential steady-beat rolling loops. The free groove of Azymuth combines perfectly with the steady-beat darkness of its re-creator as the hypnotic synths layer upon heavy percussive beats & interspersing breathless Mengo vocals. Side B is for the clubs, the DJs and the heads. Two mixes that bring the beats to the fore as the pounding bass surges faster and harder on these dub and beat journeys. Meu Mengô is inspired by Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros' football team - Flamengo - a passion he shares with his band-mates Ivan 'Mamao' Conti (drums) & Jose Roberto Bertrami (keys). Taken from the new album 'Aurora' - that sees a return to their huge old school sound - that
