"Power Moves" is the new album by brazilian dj and producer SonikCuts. Dj since the early 2000’s SonikCuts is know for his scratching skills, mixtapes and vinyl-released projects for turntablists such as the “Guarana Breaks” record series. For this  studio album SonikCuts invited some of the best rappers of the independent hiphop scene such as Termanology, Skyzoo, Guilty Simpson, Homeboy Sandman, Supastition, Planet Asia among others, to be the voices of the project. In this album composed of 10 tracks of pure hiphop music, we find SonikCuts know-how as a producer through powerful instrumentals and guests of choice, but also as a dj with the countless scratches dotted around throughout the album. The project was mixed in Paris at “Haxo Studio” when SonikCuts used to live there, and mastered at "Elysian Masters Studio" in Los Angeles by Dave Cooley, the engineer who did the mastering of several albums like the classic ‘’Donuts’’ by J Dilla or more recently ‘’Bandana’’ by Freddie Gibbs and Madlib. "PowerMoves" is a hiphop album where DJ and MC join their forces to deliver fresh beats,rhymes and scratchs.
