Old Murvue Edits (No Fixed Abode) 12″

Mysterious extended edits of Brazilian jazz-dance brilliance arrive from the unlikely shores around Salford Quays via the cultural hotbed that is Old Mervue. Rumour has it a certain Manchester drummer, DJ and producer, better known as Moodymanc and Balaphonic, might be behind the razor-and-tape treatment.

The source material comes from legendary Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira, whose funk-laden fusion of deep grooves and sun-drenched vibes has been a staple for discerning DJs for decades.

Here, the classics “Amadour” and “Toque de Cuíca” receive respectful dancefloor extensions that keep the spirit of the originals intact while giving selectors a little extra room to work.
