Kuduro purveyor Enchufada is set to release a compilation of its greatest hits, and the label’s most prominent acts will be touring Europe to promote it.
Over three years and six releases, Enchufada‘s Hard Ass Sessions series has challenged producers across the globe to interpret the Angolan bass genre kuduro, which literally translates as “hard ass.” The Hard Ass Compilation, to be released on May 28, is a collection of Buraka Som Sistema-founder J-Wow’s favorites from the series. Included in the mix are standouts from Bok Bok, Kingdom, and Brenmar, with a previously unreleased track by Budapest’s Slap In the Bass (which can be previewed on Soundcloud).
In support of the disc, J-Wow will hit the road with a rotating cast of supporters that includes Cardopusher, Congorock, and Melé. The official release party in Lisbon will treat ticket holders with a free copy of the compilation.
