Noite E Dia

"Very little of Noite E Dia sounds "right" in any traditional sense, and nor does it mean to. But every piece arranged by Lisbon artist DJ Nigga Fox—from the fiercely off-grid percussion to the noodling synths to the disembodied alien voices—feels right. The four tracks are so bizarre and delirious they're almost intimidating, and yet they're exuberant in a way that could liberate dance floors." (RESIDENT ADVISOR) --- "Fundamentally, with every Príncipe release inflating the cacophony, Noite E Dia is individually and undeniably assured." (TINY MIX TAPES) --- "It begins with a swell, then a crash, and a lingering cacophony of hand drums. The first 10 seconds of DJ N—— Fox's "Um Ano" is so disorienting, it takes a few more seconds to lock into its ominous bounce. The Portuguese producer pieces the rest of this four-minute jaunt together in much the same fashion. He floods the mix with confounding shards of noise, but after the dust settles, it's clear that what first appeared to be shrapnel had a precise trajectory." (NPR Music) --- "DJ Nigga Fox summed up the situation when he titled his debut EP O Meu Estilo, or My Style, and with his new EP for Lisbon’s Príncipe label, he proves once again that he’s in a league of his own. [On "Um Ano"] the vocals are just a monosyllabic “Oh,” looped into stuttering patterns. They don’t need to say anything; the beat says everything it needs to, even if you don’t know what to call it."
