Expirado EP by VHOOR
25-year old producer, VHOOR, prepares for the release of his upcoming “Expirado” (Expired) EP. Hailing from Belo Horizonte, Brazil VHOOR has been building a loyal fanbase via his instrumental releases and his collaborations with Sango, Juls and others. His music is deeply inspired by Brazilian Baile Funk and other Afro-Brazilian rhythms while also being a product of House, Techno, Footwork, Hip Hop, Future Beats, and more. His work with Brazilian rapper, FBC, for their collaborative album “Baile” catapulted his profile in Brazil, playing most major Brazilian music festivals including Primavera Sound São Paulo in 2022, winning several awards for Producer of the Year while further cementing his name as one of Brazil’s most in-demand producers. “Baile” has amassed over 43 million plays on Spotify and provided VHOOR his first opportunity to DJ overseas, selling out shows in London, Paris, and Lisbon while also playing in Berlin, Lyon, Barcelona, and Porto. VHOOR’s 3rd EU/UK Tour is confirmed for June 2023 and has announced the first round of confirmed shows in London, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Dortmund, Dublin and Geneva. VHOOR was also recently named a new resident DJ/programmer for NTS Radio. His show “Aquecimento” will debut at the end of March.
“Expirado” or “Expired” in English is a 6-song collection of some of VHOOR’s earlier “Chill Baile” productions. “Chill Baile” is a sub-genre of Brazilian Baile Funk which started to appear on SoundCloud around 2015. Some of the main producers including Deekapz, JLZ and Carlos Do Complexo are today, some of Brazil’s most revered producers. Most of the main protagonists of the movement have evolved their sound over the years but VHOOR felt it was the right time to, once again, shed light onto this style. “Expirado” features a more subdued and reflective version of “Chill Baile” using less vocal samples while highlighting jazz chord progressions and samples over Baile Funk rhythms and percussion.
