From disco to disco
Oribata 'Batuki' (Tiff‘s Joints)
The first release on Tiff’s Joints is ‘Batuki’, an edit from Sao Paolo’s Oribata (aka DJ Tahira and Fernando TRZ). It’s a deep and tribal percussive affair with Afrocentric vocal chants that pull you into the rhythm before introducing a proto-house bassline and some accompanying 80s FM-style synth stabs. There’s a nice mix of old and new in this Brazilian boogie number; just our cup of tea.
