Ripping apart Radio 1 this week is Buraka Som Sistema, a Lisbon ensemble whose kuduro infused productions keep hearts pumping and asses shaking. Their debut album, Black Diamond, firmly shatters any assumptions about dance music. Built on the fundamentals of house, BSS’s tunes blend electro madness with coarse break beats and bass lines while sounding as though they pump out of a classic rave speaker. Expect classic dubstep and UK funky anthems tuned up with soca rhythms while maintaing a firm grip on the Portuguese dance climate.
