DinhoMK3 might not be a name as recognizable as Marky, Patlife and Fernanda Porto, but make no mistake about this man’s credits in the local South American drum ‘n bass scene. Now in his mid-30s, DinhoMK3 first got his start on vinyl in 1992 and has been on the production front since ’96. His father, an electronic repairman, would play a big part in his evolution as he passed down old “record players” that would come into the shop to be repaired.

Only sixteen at the time, J would work hard at his craft, “keeping the samba at bay” during his mixes. The perfectionist pushed forward with his work, soon becoming an acknowledged DJ in Sao Paulo’s vast electronic scene. Influenced heavily by the rich culture surrounding him, the Brazilian committed to looking for new outlets to expose electronic music, also continuously searching for inspirational ways to add organic natural sounds to his drum beats and fiery basslines.

ANOTHER PLACE:

Heavy on oscillation, ANOTHER PLACE starts off in a techy “Ram” style fury before heading quickly for into first drop. Very reminiscent of new school jump up, Dinho uses varying layers of the wobble to create a floor smasher that’s more than ready to be dropped as the party starter. Heading into the break, melodies come to life and heavenly atmospheres draw the listener in.

DONE TO ME:

Reminiscent of his heroes, Marky and Patlife, DONE TO ME is a very musical number. The beats bounce atop beautiful atmospherics and “LK” style guitars. LFO style bass stabs stay on the back end while the vocal drops in. Approaching the middle of the track, half-time tempos ensue before dropping back into the beats. “helicopter” type effects lead back into the guitar riff as this magnificent piece keeps the EP rolling.

WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO?

A straight forward dancefloor slammer, WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO brings out the soul of liquid drum ‘n bass. Effervescent trumpet lines blare above chopped-up poignant vocals that lead into the drop. More half-time in the break leads to the next drop, and we’re gone!

AIN’T NO LOVE LOST

Instrument stabs serve as the backbone at the genesis of AIN’T NO LOVE LOST. Bright, articulate drums and vocal stabs fill the air as the oscillators come slipping in. As the break sets in, bitcrushed effects warp the sounds for this short interlude before the beat drops back in. We are exposed to more of the vocal as it makes its small appearance, disappearing swiftly. The cool vibe rides us out to the end of this brilliant release.
