Join Phat Kev as he takes us on a journey away from the repetitive beats and gimmicks of so much modern music to embrace the very best of Brazilian funk with new mix album Brazilan Beats and Pieces.

If you like your music the funkier the better, as well as music with a real heart and soul, then this mix is for you. Brighton based Phat Kev, aka Kev Luckhurst, Kev plays the pick of Hip Hop, Soul, Disco, Funk and Rare Groove alongside Latin, Boogaloo and Dancefloor Jazz.

Still now only 22, he has already supported a wealth of artists including De La Soul, Omar, Fun Lovin Criminals, Ugly Duckling, People Under The Stairs, Jehst, Mr Thing, Blak Twang, Andy C, Woody and DJ Yoda to name but a few. To be honest, unless you are an afficionado of Brazilian music the chances are you will not have heard of most of the acts on this CD, but believes us when we say that they are all good.

Soulful, lilting lyrics, trumpets aplenty and a rumba-esque beat all mix perfectly in the mix. Enjoyable tracks include Take it Easy My Brother Charlie and Black Soul Brothers to name but a few. If you want to get into a new type of music, then you can do a whole lot worse than indulging your Brazilian side with this fabulous mix. In all good stores now.
