Marcelo D2 & SambaDrive on Cassette Cassette from Marcelo D2 & SambaDrive is available for home delivery with Vinyl Records London, only £30 +P&P A generational voice in Brazil who emerged in the mid90s as founder of hiphop group Planet Hemp, Marcelo D2 has achieved the charmed status of both household name and musical innovator, collaborating with the likes of the late great Sergio Mendes and esteemed producer will.i.am. Since the release of his debut solo album Eu Tiro Onda in 1998, he has developed an instantly recognisable sound that skips between classic Brazilian groove and contemporary rap, guided by the motto looking for the perfect beat which graces his second album Procura da Batida Perfeita.Now, in 2024, Marcelo D2 is telling his story again in a new light. Inspired by the iconic jazzsamba trios of the 60s and 70s, SambaDrive emerged from the improvised and often spontaneous jams that would preface Marcelo D2s live shows. Touring the world and reunited with producer Mario Caldato Jr., the group dropped in on Amsterdams Artone Studio in October 2022 to record an album of 10 tracks, drawn from four of Marcelo D2s most loved albums.A celebration of Marcelo D2s legacy, an exposition of a master at work and as consummate a recording of live samba rap as youre ever likely to hear, Marcelo D2 and SambaDrive looks back to light a way forward, each track shining like a blueprint of the genredefying hits they would become.
A cassette tape is a nostalgic format that continues to hold a special place in music culture. Known for its warm, analogue sound and compact design, cassettes offer a unique listening experience that many audiophiles cherish. Their physical nature and simple playback process—complete with the iconic “tape hiss”—add a layer of authenticity that digital formats can’t replicate.
Cassette tapes also evoke a sense of nostalgia, bringing back memories of mixtapes, car rides, and the early days of music discovery. Collecting cassettes allows music enthusiasts to connect with the past while embracing the charm of a format that was once central to the music industry. Whether you’re seeking vintage classics or exploring modern releases on tape, cassettes remain a beloved part of music history.
