[Angels Gun Club Premiere] IDLIBRA & GABNAJA - ATABACADA
Two powerhouses of Brazil’s northeast come together to drop this banger for our next compilation album “CEROL 25”. GabNaja (), DJ and producer from Recife, has been serving and setting dancefloors on fire with her blends of Guaracha, Brazilian Funk and Techno - and here for this track she dives deep into rhythmic layers and local slang. IDLIBRA (), a transdisciplinary artist and co-curator of Coquetel Molotov Festival, brings her signature woody and fiery sound, mixing Bass Music, Afrobeat and the most varied strands of Brazilian Funk into a sonic experience that is untamed and elegant.
“Atabacada” is born from lived experience and a sharp ear. GabNaja explains that every sound choice - from vocals to textures - was shaped by cultural references, leading to the track’s title: a nod to both the atabaque drum and a slang from Pernambuco used to describe a heavy blow, a strong impact and someone who is silly. And that’s exactly what this track delivers.
This more than special collab is about territory, culture, movement and a living response from a new wave of northeastern artists who, just like us, see the club as a space of resistance, research, transcendence and of course fun.
