<div style="text-align: justify;">
Belgium Electro-House duo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike has collaborated with Diplo & Fatboy Slim to produce a song for the Fatboy Slim curated album, Bem Brasil. Eparrei is an un-paralleled slice of electro mambo, fusing cutting edge EDM with the sounds and culture of Brasil.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This new summer anthem also features, Brasilian electro funk group, Bonde Do Role who unique take on the local ‘funk carioca’ has seen them play to huge crowds in South America and support the likes of CSS. All this combined creates an anthem destined to scorch dance floors across the world, and also perfectly captures the tone and spirit of what Fatboy Slim has aimed for with his curation of the Bem Brasil album, a synthesis of the best of dance music and Brasilian vibes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The award-winning brothers have become leading lights in the new wave of international dance music currently taking the planet by storm. Having broken out of the Belgium scene in 2007, they have since risen to become the hosts of the legendary Tomorrowland (and TomorrowWorld) Festivals, while also releasing huge global dance floor hits such as ‘Mammoth’, ‘Wakanda’,  ‘Ocarina’ and most recently ‘Tremor’ together with teen phenom Martin Garrix. In the past 12 months the brothers have amassed 7 Beatport # 1 records including a remix of Fatboy Slim’s ‘Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat’ to start 2014 with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fatboy Slim is returning in 2014 to curate a unique compilation album which includes remixes of classic Brazilian songs such as Felguk’s remix of Jorge Ben Jor’s ‘Taj Mahal’, as well as brand new tunes by some of the world’s finest contemporary artists like DJ Fresh, Gregor Salto, Carl Cox and Greg Wilson. Fatboy Slim has had a long love affair with Brazil, its people and its culture, it was this love which inspired him to work with the prestigious Decca Records on creating a soundtrack to this year’s biggest summer event.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diplo’s long association with reimagining the limits of electronic music stretches to decades. An integral part of the team, the much heralded producers side project Major Lazer showcases his application of world music styles such as Soca, Braile Funk and Dancehall making his talents critical to capturing the essence of Brazil. As owner of the hugely influential ‘Mad Decent Label’ currently making waves throughout all electronic music’s sub genres, this is a man who gives true meaning to the word dexterity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With weeks left before the first time ball meets boot in Brazil, Fatboy and his compatriots are here to get the party started early. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Born and bred from the dust of the post-Woodstock era that settled and created the synthesizer – Liver strives to push hard basslines and relies on strong melody and rafter-rattling rhythm to capture a crowd.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From his explorations through genres like hip-hop, dubstep, breaks and house music he endeavors to keep his sets fresh and original, mixing and matching sounds from all sides of the globe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Founding member of the DONT PARTY movement, Liver is a tastemaker and social commentator of the highest order, and always strives to push fresh, hard hitting music to his audience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the annual Rocking the Daisies, New Year’s Rezonance and countless other Electronica festivals under his belt, Liver is a rising force in South African DJ culture, and a constant fixture in Cape Town club culture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many would be more familiar with Liver as the brilliant producer that he is – having released internationally respected remixes for groups such as Glitch Mob and Bassnectar, one would be hard pressed to travel around your favourite music blogs without bumping into one of Liver’s digital offspring</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paul Devro is a small-town boy turned world-traveling DJ by bringing his own brand of  party music to the sweatiest dance floors. Since being picked up by tastemaker, Diplo, to be the creative director/artist for his record label Mad Decent, Paul has toured everywhere from India, Russia, Australia, Asia, across North America and almost all of Europe. He has shared the bill with the likes of Crookers, Annie Mac, Boyz Noize, Justice, Chromeo, Diplo, Fake Blood, and A-trak, to name a few. Paul has a niche for breaking new genres of dance music, which is clear by listening to his highly praised mixtapes for We Make It Good, Dazed, The Fader, and XLR8R. That, along with his secret stacks of tracks he brings to the club with him, proves that he has the ear to turn out any crowd on any dance floor.</span></div>

Known internationally as a curator amongst the worldʼs most cutting edge DJs, producers, and musical movements Wesley Pentz (better known as DIPLO) has experienced a variety of successes. The last few years have been spent running through the club circuit and having chart-topping hits with refreshing irreverence. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1978, Pentz spent most his childhood in Florida working in his father’s bait shop and being turned onto music through then-new mediums like MTV. Drifting North through the state came Miami Bass, and from the West came the sounds of Southern Hip-Hop artists. The musical influence and variety coalesced, and at 18, Pentz moved to Philadelphia for college at Temple University to study Film and Music. While a student he took a job in the South Philadephia community as a social worker and created the influential Hollertronix club night, which was the beginning of his fledgling career as DIPLO.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2004, Pentz realesed his debut album as Diplo called, “Florida.” It received praise and accolades in the underground community. The music embodied on this album led to an introduction via an A&R man at XL Records to M.I.A. In 2004, he partnered with M.I.A. for the mixtape “Piracy Funds Terrorism.” Pentzʼs cultural impact had started to snowball. Together they worked on her first album “Arular” and much of her second “Kala,” including the 2008 mega-hit “Paper Planes,” which reached No. 3 in the U.S. Charts and earned him a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. His production credits have evolved since to include Santigold, Lilʼ Jon and Missy Elliot, while remixing works by Beck, Radiohead, Britney Spears and countless others. In 2009 Pentz teamed with frequent collaborator Dave Taylor (aka Switch) to release the futuristic dancehall album “Guns Donʼt Kill People… Lazers Do,” under the guise of Major Laze — a Jamaican militant at war with an evil army of zombies, mummies, and vampires.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, his record label Mad Decent has helped to introduce Brazilian baile funk, Angolan Kuduro, and other marginalized music to clubs around the world, developing as a trendsetting force with which to be reckoned. With the same mission in mind, some of the varied acts Pentz has signed or produced include Rye Rye, Bonde do Role, Crookers, Blaqstarr, Boy 8-Bit, Buraka Som Systema, and Rusko, allowing Mad Decent to act as a launching pad or home base for many others while spreading its influence across the globe. Through the label, Pentz has founded a charity called Heaps Decent as a social relief program to help children in Australia as well as with additional efforts internationally. In early 2009, Pentz debuted his film “Favela on Blast,” a five-years-in-the-making documentary exploring the Brazilian slum favelas of Rio de Janeiro and the thriving baile funk music scene that exists within. He is currently developing a TV show to air in 2010.</div>
