[FKL] Dj Cornelius - From Rio To Toa Payoh: An Adventure In Baile Funk (HTML→MP3)

We have a new face here on FKL this week. One that serves up something quite different from what we’re used to. Bringing in some fancy Rio stylized beats and bass is Dj C0rnelius from Singapore, with this awesomely crafted Baile-Funk mix. Here’s a short bio of the dude: “DJ C0rnelius is the musical alter-ego of Irwan Abu Bakar, a full-time graphic designer and corporate whore by day. Exposed to a well diverse array of musical genres since young due to the varied musical choices of his elder brothers, his musical tastes were futher refined and expanded when he worked for UK music retailer giants, HMV as a customer service staff & buyer. A trip to the now defunct Insomnia Club and watching local drum & bass heroes, Kiat & Ashidiq prompted him to get his hands dirty on DJ-ing. Counting influences from Radiohead to Smashing Pumpkins to Jurassic 5 to The Roots, he is at ease with whatever type of music there is, whether it is hip-hop or old-skool funk to drum & bass to Brazilian baile funk. His DJ heroes includes DJ Shadow, DJ Yoda, Diplo, Dieselboy, DJ Marky, James Zabiela and Norman Jay. DJ C0rnelius has graced the decks at Home Club (SG) and BaaBarBlackChic (SG).” From Rio To Toa Payoh is furiously smooth and impeccably tight.
