Dona Sandra – Orquesta & Zuzuka Poderosa (@zuzukapoderosa)

We at Boom Boom Chik love the Brazilian baile funk ambassador in New York, Zuzuka Poderosa. Since last year’s LAMC, her star has been rising – rightly so – and fresh out the inbox today came in a tune called “Dona Sandra”, a collaboration between Zuzuka and a 21-year-old Irish producer called Orquesta. The song […]



Hardwell (@Hardwell) – Encoded

After listening to Hardwell’s remix of Bella’s “Nobody Loves Me”, I decided to check out more of his stuff. This inevitably led me to “Encoded”, his debut single which was released in late April. All I have to say is, the Dutch are at it again. I can’t believe the Dutch and their ability to […]

Joy (@joyforthepeople) – The Storm Mixtape

A brand new mixtape from Boston-bases singer-songwriter Joy was certainly not what I was expecting on a dreary Tuesday afternoon in New York City. This time last year, Joy released her follow up release, Electric Soul Music. It was not the follow up to 2006’s fresh and unapologetically catchy debut, Set Free, that I was […]

Señor Loop (@senorloop) – Insensato

Just three days into my trip to Panama, my Panamanian friends have introduced me to a well-respected local band called Señor Loop.
