Copyvio
The following text was removed as it is clearly copyvio. If someone wants to rework it to avoid the copyvio and find the source that would be good, I don't know enough about the area to do it:

Buraka Som Sistema‘s recent Boiler Room session sparked some serious intrigue from global bass heads worldwide for its “introduction” of Zouk Bass — a screwed, electronic take on 80s French Antilles zouk music popularized by Kassav.

We asked Buraka member Kalaf to breakdown this genre mutation for us. “We created it,” Kalaf responded via e-mail, “while recording Komba we were exploring other rhythms such as Zouk and Kizomba… When we were invited to play at the Boiler Room we had this idea to share more Lisbon sounds (beside kuduro) with the world. Since we like to twist things up we think “Zouk Bass” would be perfect name to label those beats.” On their Enchufada label page, Buraka describe the genetic make-up of the genre in a post titled We Call It Zouk Bass: “By lowering the BPM and taking Zouk’s rhythms and melodies to meet the electronic and bass-heavy sounds of the UK underground a new genre was born.”

While BSS can certainly be credited for proliferating this new sub-genre and bringing it to a world stage, the track that inspired it all — and the first tune Buraka dropped on their Boiler Room set — was Deejay Kuimba‘s “Tarraxo Na Parede.” In an interview with Generation Bass, the Setúbal based underground DJ/producer described the style of his track: “Zouk Bass for me it’s different than any other style but it is still based on “Tarraxinha” and “Kizomba” but totally different…. The idea is a dance style of music but leaning against the wall while dancing to it as u can imagine listening to that beat.”

Fabriclive 49
Buraka Som Sistema made a mix for the Fabric label in 2009: "Fabriclive 49". It includes many of their own tracks (some remixed by other outfits) as well as tracks played in their DJ sets at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.198.224.197 (talk) 12:54, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
