"Brazilian Love Affair 4" is part of the world"s leading Brazilian music series compiled by the UK"s premier Brazilian DJ and aficionado and head of Far Out Records, Joe Davis. Far Out is one of the world"s leading Brazilian labels with an influence on Brazilian music most labels based in Rio would die for. Joe fills us in: "Brazilian Love Affair is a good summary of all the styles and current trends of Brazilian music and therefore Far Out"s roster. On Volume 4 you"ve got the classic, contemporary sounds of Brazil from Far Out artists Marcos Valle, Joyce, and Azymuth, as well as the more electronic dance side that we release on 12" such as Democustico, 4 Hero, and Osunlade"s remix of Grupo Batuque. I think that Brazilian music makes excellent chill out music too because it"s very melancholic...it has complex chord structures and harmonies bursting with soul and melody." "Brazilian Love Affair 4" also includes forgotten gems unearthed by Joe on his 80th trip to Brazil and cuts from Patricia Marx, Max de Castro and Jairzinho Oliveira all signed to Brazilian label Trama. This is as authentic a picture of Brazilian music you will find. As Joe says; "I know of supposed "Brazilian" compilations that don"t even have one Brazilian artist on them. Every track on this compilation has either been made by a Brazilian or produced in Brazil. Imagine if in Brazil someone released a compilation of UK music with just Brazilian artists on... it would be a sham. "Brazilian Love Affair 4 is the real deal."
