São Paulo based artist dadá Joãozinho released his critically acclaimed debut project for Innovative Leisure in 2023 which careens across musical universes like a psychedelic fever-dream - 13 distinct, yet porous movements shoplifting from samba, baile funk, dub, hip-hop & even punk while inventing a few future styles in the process.  Like if Arthur Russell and Lee Perry co-owned a recording studio in Brazil producing for Jorge Ben.  

1997 is his follow-up LP and released in digital formats.

"Brilliant Album!"  - GILLES PETERSON

"one of the coolest records of the year"  - AMOEBA RECORDS

"as laid back as it is endlessly replayable"  - THE FADER  

"A dazzling collage of baile funk, hip-hop, and jazz"  - REMEZCLA  

"Paying homage to samba and bossa styles, Joãozinho sets modern production elements to his work by sampling the band he assembled, tearing it up, then chopping and flipping the arrangements. It’s heaven." - KCRW
