Bossa Nova was Brasil´s cool answer to the American Jazz in the 60's. The style has enjoyed several revivals by successive generations. Young lounge DJs have made the bossa nova (now called Brasilectro) modern & attractive again. In Brasil itself, with the success of brazilectro in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the youth have fused classic bossa nova with house, hip hop, drum'n'bass and downbeat. The results are what make up this collection. On the lounge-side, DJ Ralph "von" Richthoven compiled his all-time-favorites of the Bossa Nova by Astrud Gilberto, Jorge Ben, Marcos Valle, Gal Costa, Tamba Trio, Os Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Katia B. and others. The club-side unites primarily the modern grandchildren of the bossa nova: Brazilectro, Brazil-House and Brasil Drum n Bass, like DJ Patife, Bazeado, Nicola Conte, Borbolettas, Bebel Gilberto and more.
