maracutaia.fm: live radio uit Rio de Janeiro

Eeeven...

De naald wordt afgestoft…

maracutaia.fm

Monthly, when everyone is free.

House, dub and leftfield from the Rio underground.

Two friends and record researchers, Icehead and Rafael Não Existe, worked out at an after-party in late 2023 that Rio de Janeiro had almost nowhere for electronic and alternative music that does not fit a dance floor. They spent the best part of a year on the answer and put maracutaia.fm online in August 2024. It is volunteer-run and unhurried by design: recordings happen only when the collaborators' diaries align, roughly once a month, and the archive fills the gaps in between.

Every show here belongs to someone. Vidadura runs a summer collaboration series, Walid VB digs on Geleia do Gringo, Mirim gives Impulso over to artists nobody has booked yet, and Régis Regi keeps Ex-Clubber do Ano going. Reduza handles the reggae and dub, while Label Profile takes one record label at a time and Maracutaia Profile one artist at a time.
