Hello Sailor is a party and record label based in Brooklyn, NY founded by Brazilian-born, New York based Renata Do Valle. Since 2012, the label has been staging events with an array of local and international artists.

Following the first release ('Muko Wapi'), featuring the Joakim rework was never going to be easy, but luckily Sao Paolo DJ duo Selvagem step up !
Acclaimed releases on the Beats In Space X label and Universal Cave have established them as a force to be reckoned with in the esoteric edits game.

'Le Freak' is a Cumbia style rendition of the Chic classic, driven by insane synths and sampled drum loops, punctuated with low-pitched vocals in Portuguese.

'Tamanqueiro' could be one of the greatest hits by Jorge Ben, if it wasn't written by Elizio de Buzios. That's his only release ever and now is a holy grail of Brazilian funk, fetching small fortunes when found. Here it appears in an extended and DJ-friendly version.
