With the inaugural Red Bull Music Academy Festival São Paulo underway, host Shawn Reynaldo sets up shop in the city and enlists members of the Gop Tun label – a standout hub for high-quality house and disco sounds – to share the particulars of the local electronic landscape. He also speaks with Hyperdub staple Ikonika, whose latest LP, *Distractions*, finds her slowing down the tempos and exploring rhythms pulled from the realm of hip-hop and R&B. Elsewhere, we survey the best of the week’s new electronic releases.
