Is Drum n Bass still big in Brazil

It was never big. After the artists made sucess out of Brazil, the media gave them a little attention. But they are vey obscure here. Only DJ Marky and Patife has some public, but it is almost impossible to find their cds.

i don't know but 'LK' is still fab

'Marky & XRS
The Brazilian drum & bass wave continues apace as dons Marky & XRS prepare to bring through their long-awaited debut LP. Is it sexy? Let's just say your hips will be getting a lot of extra exercise...

"It's hard to believe its still going strong! It's been like two years since we made it and we still get this amazing reaction when we play it, people are still loving it. We're wondering if it will ever stop..." The Sao Paulo based switchdoctor known as XRS shakes his head slowly from side to side in disbelief. His mouth hangs open for a second at the end of the sentence as he struggles to find the words to express his incredulity. Finally he gives up and just blurts out a chuckle.

He is referring of course to 'LK', the shimmering, Jorge Ben-sampling cut that he (real name Michel) and DJ Marky put out last year. The record created a buzz immediately, then grew inexorably into a proper dancefloor anthem before charging up the charts (it got to number 17) and selling over 100,000 copies worldwide. It not only helped put XRS and Marky on the production map but gave even more profile to the increasingly well-known Brazilian d&b movement.

A few years neither XRS nor anyone else from the bubbling Sao Paulo scene were known outside of their native Brazil. Marky was virtually a pop star at home but hadn't recorded any records or played any gigs outside. XRS was tucked away in his studio, making tunes and releasing albums like the inimitable 'Sarau' for a local audience via labels that had no international distribution.'

Etc etc...

Brazilian Job's a great mix, tho.
