MÁFIA DO DENDÊ presents a snapshot of the current Bahia Bass scene - from trap to arrocha, produced in the outskirts of one of the most musical states in Brazil.

As the country with the world's most diverse range of home-grown percussive instruments and, of course, dance music genres to go with them, it's natural that Brazilians developed their own unique forms of dance music. This team of DJ-Producers blend genres such as Pagodão, Trap, Arrocha, Afrohouse, Funk, Sambarregae and Axé, creating a new path for Bahian music and generating new flavors for the dance floors of Brazil and the world.

Inspired by international dance floor culture and large sound systems, popular Brazilian music genres and the emergence of new young producers in Bahia, the DJ/music producer/curators, Lucio K and DJ Werson, took the initiative to organize a compilation dedicated to the sound of Bahia, with talented producers who live and accompany this scene and its musical evolution. This release is offered as a mark in the evolution and the valorization of the Bahia Bass movement, where the prejudice against what is seen as local, regional and popular is finally overcome.

Artists on this release include: Lord Breu, Telefunksoul, Salamanka, Ubunto, Zamba, Lucio K and Som Peba (Salvador), Bruna Vicci, Lerry and Roça Sound (Feira de Santana), MarveBigHead (Candeias), Rodrigo Freire and Patrick Matos (Vitória da conquista), ZeH Du Bass (Jequié), DJ Werson (Juazeiro) and Noize Men (Paulo Afonso).
