Introducing... DOGREEN!!

We've said it before and we will say again, Brazil is coming out with loads of great new and young artists that are fusing their love of electronic music and hip hop to make what many are saying is a new re-incarnation of Hip-House...

Thanks to huge artists such as Amine Edge & Dance, G-House is definitely here and these Brazilians are well and truely part of this new wave!

One of the artists that has made our ears stand up with his releases on a variety of labels (House of Hustler, Clap7, G-Mafia Records, + many more) is Dogreen, so we thought we would fire a few questions his way...

You are not the first Brazilian we have covered on our blog this year...  Why are Brazil producing so many DJs/artists who are into the g-house sound?  And who are your biggest musical influences?

Brazil's electronic scene is growing loads, yes, it gave rise to many projects like mine. We have quite a few artists into G-House. Our influence is not only in electronic music but music such as rap itself here in Brazil. Many of my biggest influences are from the same - Rap, Hip Hop: 2Pac, Eminem, Sabotage, Creole, Notorious Big...  but in the electronic scene one of the people who influenced me most was Gabe.

You have been working on a remix for East Project's Rough Cut boys...  Tell us how that came about?

Yes, I recently made a remix for them. I have even had great support on the track!! Honestly before this, I did not know about them until we were put together on a VA of my favorite Record Label - Clap7. We started talking on Facebook and so I was invited to do a remix, along with Diamn but it began to flow so much that I ended it quicker than I thought. It was a surprise.

How often to you get to DJ and where are the best places to go in Brazil right now?

The best so far for me were the Sunday Session (Braganca Paulista SP), COFF (Capivari SP) and Feeling (Medianeira PR). But the best for sure was in Southern Brazil at Paraná, Santa Catarina.  São Paulo is also very strong too.

Finale one...  If you were asked to play the last set, at the last ever party on earth, what record would you finish with?

The last would be "RUFUS - Desert Night (Remix Mortez)" hehe

Thank you!
