DJ Lycox - Guetto Star

DJ Lycox - Guetto Star

DJ Lycox has released a phenomenal new album on Príncipe. Guetto Star is a tense album of organic melodies and polyrhythms influenced by Portuguese and African music like Batida,  Kuduro, Tarraxo, and Kizomba. Through 10 human sounding club tracks DJ Lycox expresses their  unsettling and beautiful experiences with local fame.

"Few in our community will recognize your work when you come from the same environment, but once you establish your reputation outside of the neighborhood and even outside of the country, people will look at you differently, as if you were a star."
