Bossa-house-brazil-afro-cuban-balkan-downtempo-warm MUSIC!
Listen every week to my radioshow "BOSSA BAR" on FM BRUSSELS. http://wm.streampower.be/fmbrussel/autorecorder/vrij_buscemi.mp3
Since 1996 Dirk Swartenbroekx is producing eclectic and widely approved warm music as Buscemi, named after his favorite actor. Dirk finally met Steve Buscemi earlier this year. Besides the dozen of singles, numerous highly acclaimed albums and countless remixes for international artists, Buscemi still spend loads of time as performing artist.
For maximum of energy, Buscemi plays with a full live band featuring Luuk Cox (also one half of Shameboy) on drums, Hans Mullens on bass and an extended horn section, supplied by Sam Versweyveld. Brazilian singer Viviani Godoi accompanied the band since the release of Buscemi's latest album 'Retro Nuevo'. Buscemi performed on some of the biggest festivals and venue events in Benelux and foreign countries: Rock Werchter, I Love Techno, Lowlands, Blue Note Records festival, Jazz Middelheim, Ten Days Off, Oppikoppi festival (South Africa), Montreal jazz festival, Burning Man festival in the desert of Black Rock City, Aca Sound Fest in Acapulco, Sokos Club in Helsinki and Café Roset in Moscow.
As dj, Buscemi created Squadra Bossa, a versatile format to upgrade dj-sets with some real 'live' sensation. Amongst the artists involved in Squadra Bossa are companion dj Stanley Livinsgtoon and musicians Philip Cortez (percussions and mc), Sam Versweyveld (trumpet) and additional sax and trombone players. Depending on type of performance, gig or even venue, the squad can be extended with some Brazilian dancers, makin' the fervid latin vibe complete.
The Squadra Bossa style is definitely deep and hardly to categorise but best described as vibrant music, ranging from stylish nu bossa, tasteful latin house, irresistible afro grooves, infectious balkan beats, some drum'n'bass and dub madness and even smashing electro.
