RODA DE SAMPLE

Created by Ricardo Vincenzo, Roda de Sample is sound collages, instant samples, mixed & simmered in an electronic pot, overlayered, produced live by beatmakers, electromagnetic drummers, syncretic mixers, manipulating technoxamanic potions and evoking the holly smokes of the eternal loop.

The project puts together many producers and sample collectors from different backgrounds to mix and play live, improvising in a ‘circle’ format, like the traditional brazilian ‘rodas de samba’ (samba circle), where the audience is around and close to the performers, creating together a more intimate environment to enjoy the music, in a torrent of simultaneous tunes and samples.

RODA DE SAMPLE started by R.Vincenzo in the streets of São Paulo, with artists from an effervescent party scene (many from the Voodoohop Collective), and have been doing events under bridges, lost alleys, squares, a factory basement, in a house in Lisboa (Portugal), a junkyard in Berlin (Germany), a cultural center in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and nearby the railway in Brooklyn, New York (USA).
