BADSISTA doesn't do stasis—in fact he prefers to be in a constant state of motion. It was obvious when the São Paulo artist broke out with his 2016 self-titled EP, in which a bass-heavy melange of baile funk, dembow and trap demonstrated an ability to satiate almost any dance floor. But BADSISTA continued to evolve through different moods and textures: from experimental compositions with Brazilian trans icon Linn Da Quebrada to ballroom bass and heads-down funk shellers for TraTraTrax. This RA Podcast finds Andrade in a fluid place. The mood starts slow—one of a slew of unreleased BADSISTA tracks—then morphs into the synthwork of Al Lover Meets Cairo Liberation Front. Techy house shifts into baile funk. Sully's "XT" and a Batu rework appear. BADSISTA’s Latin rhythm drives perreo rattles and funk crescendos. It's all about aliveness and joy—he’s an excellent facilitator. Hear it on RA.991.
