Cocada - Cocada – EP 1

2018 will see Get Physical release a new compilation entitled Get Physical Presents: Cocada which will shine a light on producers from Brazil and Latin America. Ahead of the full album in late February comes a first taster EP featuring superb tracks by Hauy and Ossaim.

Get Physical Presents: Cocada has been put together by the label in association with the Brazil Music Conference. Local artist and long-time star Leo Janeiro has compiled it and contributes to it, and the label will also be organising workshops and parties under the Cocada banner in order to bring greater visibility to the South American scene.

Hauy goes first here, a producer who hails from Brazil but is based in Canada. He has ties to D Edge and Get Weird where he has released his moody brand of atmospheric deep house. His excellent ‘Redpath’ track is six minutes of languid and spacious grooves with poised synths unfolding up top. They bring a gently persuasive uplifting vibe and prove the producer has real musical know how.

Ossaim is a Rio de Janeiro talent with a background in computer science as well as music production. His floor filling sound mixes urban beats with classic 90s grooves and has seen him play all the major events and festivals in Brazil in the last few years. His ‘When You Say My Name’ is a nice upbeat cut with rippling chords and soul infused keys. Muffled vocals bring that intimate feel and ensure this is the sort of brilliantly feel good track that will bring everyone to the ‘floor.

These two tasteful tracks are the perfect appetiser for the full release to come.
