I've been captivated by the wild sounds emanating from Lisbon's ghetto house scene since I first heard Nidia Minaj's unhinged "Danger" EP and this latest outing from DJ Marfox is yet another absolute corker from pioneering Portuguese label Principe. It's been noted elsewhere that the influence of genres like techno have begun to creep into Lisbon's usual stew of kuduro, batida and tarraxo but when the music remains as untamed as that served up on "Chapa Quente", who the fuck cares?
