Dubstep's gone global

Brazil's Bruno Belluomini is busy championing the sound in Latin American domains

London's propelling force might have been Dubstep's leading light, yet it's no news the city ceased to be the only spot under sublow avalanche. Latin America is also under attack and a man is to blame for the stroke.

Championing the bass mania in the region, Sao Paulo-born DJ, producer and party-maker Bruno Belluomini has gathered support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 veteran Mary Anne Hobbs and Rinse FM's master Kode 9. Either grabbing the attention of trend-thirsty crowds at the worldwide famous D-Edge Club or of unusual audiences while playing public parties on the streets of downtown Sao Paulo, surrounded by gray high-rises stretched to the horizon, graffiti blankets and the tacit vitality of Latin America's urban powerhouse, Bruno Belluomini is getting inquiries from a wide array of media outlets to spread the Dubstep word, from MTV to XLR8R, from DJ Mag to The Fader.

Bruno Belluomini's Tranquera events, on-line platform, mixtapes and podcasts have contributed a big deal with his fat list of achievements. One of a kind in South American soils, Tranquera has steadily invested on distributing free culture, focusing on urban, cosmopolitan and globalized music and visual arts with a DIY attitude.

Not a coincidence that the brazilian subwoofer ambassador ended up being featured on the much-acclaimed BBC Dubstep Wars and Breezeblock shows and joined acts such as Benga, Hatcha, Loefah, Appleblim, N-Type, Pinch, Peverelist, Boxcutter and Milanese at the 2007 Vienna Festival. Counting on the support of Brazil's Ministry Of Culture, Bruno Belluomini headed for Austria to be part of Into The City, a showcase of the finest international Dubstep talent promoted by the Wiener Festwochen.

Having recently published a top-notch EP entitled "Gent Sao Paulo" on Belgian imprint Unity Trax, Bruno Belluomini has also reached the podium of Overmix Brasa, a local remix championship promoted in partnership with the South African Creative Commons Mixter. The applauded piece was his bassfied take of "Carnaval", as performed by brazilian singer, Tropicalia-head and Devendra Banhart partner Cibelle.
