E-SPAM GOT NATIONAL AIRPLAY
João Barbosa aka J-WOW went to Antena 3 to review E-SPAM001 along side with Henrique Amaro at his show Portugália.
They talked about the attempt of Buraka Som Sistema to beat George Cloney’s air miles during last year tour all over the world, about Joao’s inevitable yet short rock career, about Roulet, a guy to watch from who we’ll give you fresh and juicy news pretty soon… But essentially they talked about music and the tracks included on our first compilation. Yes, this means that know that we have started… now can stop us now!!

EXTREME MAKE OVER
J-Wow is the driving force and one of the main producers in Buraka Som Sistema. After touring with the band around the world, wowing audiences from Coachella in California to Melt Festival in Berlin, from Fujirock in Japan to Bestival in the UK, now it’s time for a break! And like they say “a change is as good as a rest”, J-WOW has been working on some fun and inventive new material for his solo project.
His first release, Klang, is out 15 March on Deadly Records. The track is a delightful listen, and an ambient and melodic departure, which J-Wow says came about in an stress-free, organic sort of way. “I came back from Thailand, sat down in the studio and Klang happened.” This will be followed quickly by a much more main room smasher, “O Dedo” on Diplo’s Mad Decent label in April.
And for you who can’t wait for these, we give you an exclusive J-WOW track for free download. Follow this link , drop your e-mail and this code - REBJ086DA7223ED5 - and get ready to dance!!

ROULET WHO?
Roulet is a young producer from Lisbon that, according to his myspace, is sourrouded by poop…
We don’t really understand why, since the music that he makes tastes like the best fish and chips you’ll ever be able t0 experience, with a unique and very personal approach to kuduro, house and Techno flavours.
Check his myspace songs to see what we’re talking about: http://www.myspace.com/roulet_trole
In case you’re still wondering WTF we’re talking about click http://www.sendspace.com/file/pi935s to download his Remix for Buraka’s Som Sistema track Kurum. Our friend Annie Mac liked it so much that decided to give it away for free on her blog (www.anniemacpresents.com)

Buraka Som Sistema winners of the EBBA Awards
Buraka Som Sistema won the 2010 European Border Breakers Awards (EBBAs) with the debut album Black Diamond.
The European Border Breaker Awards are given to debut artists or groups for their success in crossing national borders and reaching audiences outside their own country. They are given by the European Commission, in cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The Awards highlight the need to make wider use of the potential of the common market in which musical consumption patterns are still predominantly national in nature. Therefore they aim to stimulate the mobility of artists and the circulation of their work within Europe and beyond, as well as to raise awareness and appreciation among audiences of music from outside their national borders.

For this media “This is a one-off new jam from the Portugal-based crew responsible for one of the best NYC nights of ‘09 (…). “Restless” slots Buraka’s signature kuduro rave into a subtler, smoldering house burner with a classic “Should I dump you or what?” vocal prepped for blood on the dancefloor.” Read more here
