Tracklist:

Rima Brasileira

Mais Rima

Debut release from GEMS, a new highly curated edits label from DJ Center and Push the Fader.. The California, New York and Rio de Janeiro based Saidêra crew re-imagine this EW&F masterpiece, taking it to Brazil, while also adding a touch of dub to the mix, fuel for the DJ sets - but Expensive 7”.

“What if the Elements would have gone down to Rio and recorded their 1977 classic with Os Originais do Samba? Saidera puts that vision to reality, forming a new kind of dance floor energy, reworking the tune with samba rhythms and elevating the already bonafied banger… In comes the rhyme to end all rhymes! Brazilian Rhyme in Brazil”.

Early support apparently from Gilles Peterson, Bobbito Garcia, Natasha Diggs, DJ Numark and Skratch Bastid, amongst others.
