New DJ Nigga Fox – “L.X.M.B. Noites”

Last year, DJ Nigga Fox’s O Meu Estilo EP blew many a mind with its percussive basis and dub-y, dank flair. In the time since, Nigga Fox has become the heir apparent of Lisbon, not only as scene figurehead DJ Marfox’s apprentice, but as a global ambassador of the tarraxinha, kuduro, funana, etc. sounds that arise from the city’s periphery lusophone communities. “L.X.M.B. Noites” is actually one of the more linear Nigga Fox songs, lacking some of the polyrhythmic madness that pervaded O Meu Estilo. Nonetheless, the uncanny synth work and a steady four-on-the-floor pattern opens the door for a second “chorus” as infectious as they come. It’s a real pleasure to cover Nigga Fox and the whole Principe crew these days.
