about

It has now become a tradition that DJ Doraemon, Portuguese producer of Cape Verdean descent, releases a new EP via Basy Tropikalne every three years. Since 2017 we have witnessed his growth from being considered a promising prodigy of the Lisbon scene to developing into an established act of the batida genre with appearances at the events hosted by the renowned Príncipe label among others and this year he delivers what seems like the most structured and coherent collection of songs to date.

Across six tracks of the 'Raízes' EP, DJ Doraemon attacks with full power and focuses solely on high BPM kuduro variations omitting the usual tarraxo interludes. What remains unchanged though is his ability to introduce the unexpected elements into the compositions as the saxophone makes its comeback (remember 2017's 'Saxo Beat'?) in 'Lost Train' whereas 'Friendship' pairs chopped up vocal snippet with chiptune bleeps. Elsewhere on the release the Miratejo-based artist alludes to two other Lisbon mainstays - the frenetic title track may recall some of the finest songs by DJ N.K. while marimba-fueled 'Deusa Negra' gives vibes of Dotorado Pro.
