Zuzuka Poderosa \u0026 Raphael Futura)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaptain Planet has teamed up with 2 long-time collaborators (Zuzuka Poderosa \u0026amp; Raphael Futura) for a new Brazilian disco funk song, \"Moqueca.\" The song harkens back to Brazil's legendary funk parties in the 70's and early 80's - where soundsystems bumped legends like Tim Maia, Sandra Da Sa \u0026amp; Gilberto Gil - while infusing some fresh contemporary energy and extra thump for today's dancefloors. Zuzuka's bright vocals bounce over a bubbly bassline, syncopated percussion and wormy vintage synthesizers, while an additional punch is brought in the form of horn arrangements by the prolific maestro Todd Simon, another frequent Captain Planet collaborator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Moqueca\" takes inspiration from the Brazilian dish of the same name, a nationally famous fish stew that varies across the regions of Brazil. In her lyrics, Zuzuka talks about the origins and variations of Moqueca, starting with the style from Espirito Santo, her home state, and continuing to Moqueca Baiana, from Bahia, which incorporates African influences and ingredients. The result is a song that is as much an homage to Brazilian music as it is its food, culture and people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":50425019892043,"sku":"2009020","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki_1_930509de_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726785790"},{"product_id":"sounds-like-home-2","title":"Sounds Like Home","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a huge year of travelling in 2022, playing DJ sets in more than 30 cities across 10 countries, Captain Planet dove back into the studio to create his 5th and most ambitious album to date - \u003ci\u003eSounds Like Home\u003c\/i\u003e. Taking a turn toward the more organic, retro sounds of artists who originally inspired him as a young musician, Charlie Wilder (aka Captain Planet) flexed his composer and bandleader muscles- incorporating horn sections, strings and acoustic drums more than the big club focussed electronic sounds he has often come to be known for. \"The basic concept was to make a record like the ones I constantly pull off my shelves at home and play on the weekends. The records that turn into living room dance parties with my family, the soundtracks while I'm cooking, the music that fills the backyard for lazy hang outs.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn classic Captain Planet style, a kaleidoscopic array of genres from around the world find their way into the mix - Brazilian disco, Latin funk, Jamaican dub, Middle Eastern psychedelia, and American soul music. While this diversity may sound more like a mixtape, the Captain's trademark uplifting vibe and impeccable knack for building a great groove, provide the special ingredients that pull it all together and makes the sauce work. The Fader wrote \"the Captain is a walking 'recommended vinyl' section from the best record store you've ever been to\", because all his deep love and appreciation for classic music comes right through him in his original songs. Throughout this album you'll hear echoes of timeless artists like Cymande, Gilberto Gil, Ray Barretto, Curtis Mayfield, Mulatu Astatke, and Gabor Szabo, all funneled through the Captain's modern musical sensibility, shaped by nearly 2 decades of being a professional world-traveling DJ.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50479136473419,"sku":"2027199","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue LPx2","offer_id":50479136801099,"sku":"2028991","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Sounds_Like_Home_d9081d6f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727501890"},{"product_id":"no-visa","title":"No Visa","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his trademark \"Gumbo Funk\" sound, the album mixes rhythms and musical styles from the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, over highly danceable electronic beats, all firmly rooted in the hip hop, dancehall and house music that the Captain grew up playing as a DJ. Seamlessly bouncing from Brazilian Baile Funk, to Afrobeat, to Roots Reggae and Latin House, the entire record delivers the uplifting feel of one of the Captain's legendary boundary-crossing DJ sets. Building on these traditions he draws from, the Captain has created something fully original and unique. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5th full-length album from producer Charlie Wilder (aka Captain Planet), is both a return to form and a launchpad into the future.
