"This set is particularly special for me because I used a few (all unreleased) tracks produced by my brother, Mano Jio, the person that gave me a lot of support and strength to keep doing the thing I love most. Music has no rules." - DJ Nigga Fox
Even amongst his peers, Nigga Fox's timbre is unmistakable. Often described as an amalgamation of kuduro, afro-house, Angolan deep, and tarraxinha, Rogério's unique spin on the batida sound gets more specific because of his love of techno. The opening track, “Má Rotina”, is a new song from his upcoming album, but the calm ambience is a feint; this mix highlights his penchant for weaving warped beats and hypnotic hooks into something sensual and serpentine. Nigga Fox manages to achieve that rarest of combinations: being original and being good.
