🇬🇧 Before this text goes any further, an important note: Fabricio Beraldi Neves, our (now) famous Chapeleiro, didn't just jump into the electronic music scene last week. His journey began in the early 2000s, but it was ten years later that he found a formula that would revolutionize the underground movement in Brazil, spreading like a virus to absolutely every open-air party. The formula? Well, almost no one can explain it verbally. What kind of sound is this? Strange, explosive, heavy... Let's have him explain it better:
'My sound is something new, a mix of old trance and new prog, including some techno elements. It's a more groove-oriented style with trance elements, even some aspects of the so-called offbeat prog, but in reality, I'm using low-end elements with open-note frequencies. So, it's a middle ground between prog trance, techno, and the melodic aspect of India. I've classified all of this as BRUTAL BASS.'
Authentic. Perhaps that single word is enough to understand the success Chapeleiro enjoys with young audiences at dozens of shows every month. His excessively simple lifestyle, designed to keep the focus 100% on the music, has yielded unexpected results. With an insane schedule of over 100 shows annually, Chapeleiro has shared his sound with festivals like Tomorrowland Brasil (among the headliners), Ultra Music Festival, XXXPERIENCE Festival, Kaballah Festival, Planeta Brasil, Sunset Festival, Pump, Federal Music, Garden Festival, among others! In addition to drawing thousands of people to Brazil's biggest clubs such as Green Valley, Anzuclub, El Fortin, Matahari, Park.Art...
Yes, the market has also been 'abducted.' In fact, Chapeleiro was even nominated for 'Best Big Room DJ' at the V RMC Awards and reached the 130th position in the controversial ranking of the world's most popular artists, promoted by the British DJ Mag magazine, without any campaign. His YouTube videos have a combined audience of over 60 million views.
The meteoric rise comes well-armed, with an arsenal of explosive tracks supporting the artist's creative power. 'Portal do Universo' (in collaboration with rapper Sandrão RZO and singer Samantha Machado) reached the TOP #10 on YouTube Brazil upon its release, accumulating over 10,000,000 plays. Other works like 'Chuva,' 'Mamba Negra,' 'Feitiço,' 'UFO,' 'Bruxaria,' 'Violência,' and classics like 'Disco Voador' and 'Abduzido' have thrilled fans across the country.
Brazil has already been abducted. Now it's the rest of the world's turn!
