Episode Description

Vanyfox is a DJ/producer taking the Portugal-born dance music genre batida to the world. Raised on the outskirts of Lisbon near the Quinta do Mocho neighborhood (home to many batida pioneers including Marfox and DJ Nervoso) and based in France, Vanyfox discusses his early memories and the emotions, experiences and production techniques that influence his sound, which borrows from trap, deep house and the rhythms of kuduro, kizomba and zouk. We talk about the deep life questions behind his Melodias e Choros EP, working with Montreal's Moonshine crew, his Angolan-Zairean heritage, the lineage of the coxes and foxes, his approach to DJing and his unique experiences traveling to Ivory Coast, Zanzibar, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.
