From the buzzing streets of Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro to the airwaves of The Face Radio, this week’s ¡Golazo! dives deep into a global journey of dub, cumbia, and cosmic grooves. I first met Mustafa in a tucked-away Santa Teresa record shop, his hands busy flipping through Brazilian rarities while a dusty speaker played something that felt half-Orb, half-Amazon. That chance meeting set the tone for this set – a borderless mix where Brazilian percussion collides with bass-heavy soundscapes.

On the turntables (and in your headphones), expect the hypnotic pulse of Ivan Conti & Rodrigo Brandão, the street party swagger of Uproot Andy and Frikstailers, and heavyweight dub from Massive Attack, The Orb, and Renegade Soundwave. From the psychedelic tropicália of Os Mutantes to the righteous dance floor stomp of Primal Scream. Cheers Big Ears!
