Björk Spins Brazil's Track: A New Voice Emerges

Brighton producer Rian Brazil is making waves in the music scene, with his track recently played by Björk at the Venice Biennale. Praised by Lola Young, Brazil is known for his sample-heavy productions rooted in the UK underground, often collaborating with producers like Clearo. His distinctive sound features a wide vocal range, impressively achieved through raw vocal modulation rather than Auto-Tune, allowing for deeply vulnerable performances that set him apart from his peers.

His forthcoming EP, 'Engine Heartbreak,' promises a sonic journey blending addictively online aesthetics with a deep yearning for real-world contact. Tracks like 'Bullet Caught in a Spiders Web' and 'Things 2 Make U Smile' showcase his innovative approach. Brazil's music recalls the experimental spirit of Jai Paul and peers like The Sound Chalk Makes, while drawing inspiration from his youth in Hollingdean, Brighton. He describes his sound as a 'futuristic version of the grime-obsessed kid,' echoing influences from church soul, happy hardcore, and music streamed on school buses.
