ZÉ RODRIX E A AGÊNCIA DE MÁGICOS - O ESQUADRÃO DA MORTE

This Brazilian library funk beauty is the soundtrack to Carlos Imperial's 1975 flm
of the same title. Echoing European soundtrack maestros such as Roy Budd and
Ennio Morricone, but with a Brazilian swagger, Ze Rodrix's score is a sublime gem
that needs rediscovery.

Rich in 70's soundtrack cool, the score is packed with orchestrated jazz, chase
scene-funk, breaks, psychedelic freakouts and plenty of drama. The loose and
quirky break-beat jazz-funk of 'Assalto' feels almost tailor-made for today's hiphop
production aesthetic. The opening drum break of 'Esconderijo' is a sampler's
dream and has already been reinterpreted by the Turkish Rapper Anil Piyanci, as
well as Brazil's DJ Caique.
