Enchufada: A Lisbon Club Story

To mark its 20th birthday, Lisbon-born label Enchufada releases A Lisbon Club Story – 20 hand-picked tracks bridging bass, trap, grime and rave with baile funk, kuduro, batida, Afro-house and more dance-oriented styles. 

A mix of 12 archive selections and eight fresh cuts, the LP unites some of the boldest champions of Afro-diasporic and global bass music today, from household names in Portugal such as Buraka Som Sistema – back with their first track in 12 years – DJ Marfox and Shaka Lion, to new-gen dynamos like Vanyfox and international stars like Dengue Dengue Dengue and Mina.  

Twenty years ago, Enchufada was launched as a vehicle for the debut EP from Lisbon’s then-emerging Buraka Som Sistema. Only 500 CD copies of From Buraka To The World were pressed at the time, each sleeve handmade using recycled paper sourced from various factories around Lisbon – giving them a unique DIY look pieced together from adverts for baby oil and paint 

The CDs flew off the shelves in a week, marking the start of a journey that would take in era-defining records like the M.I.A.-assisted Sound of Kuduro and African Scream, and much more.
