"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

Simpson,

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.

“Haxo
Studio”

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.
