Far Out Recordings

Far Out Recordings Music from Azymuth, Marcos Valle, Joyce, Sabrina Malheiros, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas and much much more.

Far Out Recordings was founded in 1994 by London DJ and record producer Joe Davis. His longstanding and insatiable passion for Brazilian music, fuelled by his initial love of the jazz, funk and soul ubiquitous on the Rare Groove scene in 1980s London, took him to Brazil first as a teenager. It was there that his enthusiasm for record-collecting led him to some of his musical heroes and the eventua

l formation of musical bonds and close friendships. Joe’s early discoveries led to him becoming the UK’s foremost authority on Brazilian music, much of it little-known here before his enthusiastic endorsements began to ring out across the music scene. This led to the inevitable, and the keen young music fan and DJ with an entrepreneurial flair founded Far Out Recordings. The label’s aim from the start has been to bring the sound of Brazil to the world – to showcase the history and culture of a land bursting with creativity and energy – from the classic to the cutting edge. There have been numerous releases from both new and established Brazilian artists including legends such as Azymuth, Joyce, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Clara Moreno and Binario, to name a few. Far Out also releases music from musicians and producers around the world who share the label’s appreciation for Brazilian music and culture. Alongside Brazilian music, the label is also well known for its longstanding association with underground dance music, having collaborated with some of the most acclaimed and accomplished electronic producers of our times. This had led to a rich plethora of pioneering and innovative dance and beats music, forging a future for the oft-neglected role of Brazil and its rhythms in the complex dance music diaspora of the UK and US, with 12" remixes and original productions from the likes of Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, D**o, Andres, Marcellus Pittman, Kirk Degiorgio, Nicola Conte, A.D. Bourke, Henry Wu and Rick Willhite among many others. Joe's crate-digging mentality has also been the driving force behind another crucial aspect of Far Out's work - unearthing forgotten masterpieces and once impossible to find records. This has led to reissues from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin’s catalogue of lost gems, resulting in some of the finest Brazilian reissues you’re likely to find. While this remains a relatively small percentage of the label's output, every release is brought to you with the utmost love and care, ensuring painstaking perfection in the realms of sound, aesthetic and physicality. Another testament to the label’s enduring influence can be seen in the fact that many cite Far Out and their series of revered compilations as their very first introduction to Brazilian music. This is most notable in the case of the fabled Brazilika series, a series which has seen individual compilation releases put together by some of Far Out’s favourite DJ's, friends and fellow Brazilophiles, such as Kenny Dope, Gilles Peterson, 4Hero and Andy Votel. Many of the artists on the Far Out roster regularly tour worldwide, playing across Europe, the USA and the Far East. Look out for them in your town, spreading the joy, the warmth and the restless creativity of Brazilian music and all that Far Out seeks to represent. “After more than twenty years of Far Out, we are only just beginning to realise our ambitions” surmises Joe. “We are still learning about production, recording and music, always.. and we are fortunate to be surrounded by the most exciting group of musicians and producers who are making consistently brilliant music. We are still intent on finding new stars, but we are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and our formidable artist roster.”

⚡️NEW RELEASE⚡️ No one has lived a life quite like Marcos Valle. He became an overnight international sensation, fled a military dictatorship, dodged the Vietnam war draft, had his music sung by Homer Simpson, made enemies with Marlon Brando, and became an unsuspecting fitness guru for multiple generations. But to truly understand the great Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and multi instrumentalist, one must listen to his music.

Valle’s 23rd album, Túnel Acústico, brings together the many facets of his career. It features two songs from his time in LA: “Feels So Good,” a soul triumph written with Leon Ware in 1979, and “Life Is What It Is,” a disco track co-written with Laudir De Oliveira from the group Chicago. Valle's core band includes members of Azymuth, and an impressive array of guest lyricists like Joyce Moreno, Céu, and Moreno Veloso

Listen to lead single "Life Is What It Is" ~ https://bfan.link/life-is-what-it-is

Túnel Acústico is out 20th September 2024 on Black vinyl, limited edition pink vinyl (500 Copies), CD, Cassette (150 Copies), and digital.

Valle is set to tour Europe and America in support of the album 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦

Viva O Bruxo!

⚡️NEW RELEASE⚡️In the late '70s and early '80s, Brazilian maestro Marcos Valle, in self-imposed LA exile, teamed up with soul legend Leon Ware. Their hits like “Rockin’ You Eternally” and “Estrelar” became iconic.

In 1979, together in an LA Studio, Marcos Valle and Leon Ware recorded a demo which would remain unfinished for 44 years, until Marcos found the tape sitting there on his shelf.

Enlisting the help of producer Daniel Maunick, Valle was able to restore and sampled the original demo track, adding Portuguese lyrics alongside Leon’s vocal hook, as well as extra keyboards and percussion.

With the original music treated with the care and reverence it deserves, this stirring soul masterpiece, conceived over four decades prior, retains all the visceral sensuality and authenticity of the golden era from which it emerged.

Marcos Valle & Leon Ware - Feels So Good will be available as a limited edition (500 UNITS ONLY), vinyl-only 7” release, exclusively from Far Out Recordings from the 2nd August 2024.

Two weeks of Cabana ✨✨✨

Named after the small wood cabin at the bottom of Lau Ro’s garden where the album was recorded, Cabana is a deeply personal record of memory, self-discovery and imagination. Melancholy and hope combine across ten tracks of dreamy bossa, ambient folk, fuzzy tropicalia and majestic MPB.
