fradinho: broken beach ep
Francisco Espregueira
Broken Beach EP is the fourth release coming with the tasty Eclectic Beats Music stamp. The inevitable broken-beat and jazz-fusion-of-all-sorts connoisseur Rui Fradinho is back with another unconventional release that blends rhythms and tones from Africa, Brazil, Latin America and fado music, following A Bright Future (2020) and Much We Have (2021).
The warm textures and shinning elements all throughout the five tracks are enveloped by a lot of jazz and funk influences, without leaving the syncopated approach to percussion behind. The title, Broken Beach, fits like a glove into Fradinho’s sonic trademark, one that we came to appreciate and feel since we started listening to his glorious Eclectic Beats shows, some years ago. As per usual, the Portuguese producer, DJ and connoisseur is putting this magnificent work out on vinyl. For the collectors and real music dealers like himself.
