bonfim: an extended-play record of assembled sounds for different kinds of moods
Bonfim is the meeting point between two of Porto’s most reputable tastemakers, now releasing their first project entitled An extended-play record of assembled sounds for different kinds of moods. Pedro Tenreiro is a veteran and legendary DJ, that is in the scene since the time DJ’s were just a “small piece” of what it meant to go to a club. He is a former A&R, producer and re-edit pioneer behind projects such as Mr. Spock, Illmatic+Phaser and Dancin’ Days, returning to producing duties fifteen years later. Hugo Passos is a producer that played a key part in the city’s early hip hop scene, exploring Tenreiro’s ‘infinite’ record collection through his MPC.
Cherry picking a tree full of influences - from golden age hip hop, ‘90s House to leftfield jazzy sounds - Bonfim presents six sample based tracks, each one of them with its unique texture, representing in a perfect way the duo’s eclectic tastes. Experimental feelings are evident, as An extended-play record of assembled sounds for different kinds of moods sounds like is something that is being done in front of us. A limited edition of vinyl is available for the collectors.
