Curation Picks: d.silvestre - 'O Que as Mulheres Querem'

With O Que as Mulheres Querem, Rondônia-born producer d.silvestre delivers a bold new chapter in the evolution of mandelão – the raw, high-intensity subgenre of Brazilian funk. Known for his abrasive basslines and uncompromising sonic palette, the producer expands the sound’s boundaries by weaving in elements from global club music without diluting its gritty essence. 

The album features collaborations with key artists, reinforcing d.silvestre’s commitment to the genre’s roots while pushing it into uncharted territory. It’s a project that amplifies the extremes of mandelão, but with a refined sense of structure and space – more menace, more muscle, more meaning.
