Buraka Som Sistema
Anybody rate them? Amazing Portuguese dance outfit that seamlessly blend baile funk, b-more beats and massive bass. Quite a lot of people on here have been rating El Guincho and Gang Gang Dance this year, and whilst I wouldn't exactly use those two as points of reference, I think anybody who enjoys them would dig BSS. Fabric released their album Black Diamond at the end of the year and its probably one of my favourites all year. You might have heard some of their tracks on the last two fabriclives (this awesome reso remix was on FreQ Nasty's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IVEXQe46Q, combines filthy heavy dubstep bass with latin riddims, it rules)
Here's a choice cut
