Rockers Control! Trio releases a new album and revives the golden age of São Paulo dub!

Group marked the explosion of the sound system scene in SP

In the early 2000s, the capital of São Paulo saw the rise of emblematic nights dedicated to dub, a style created in Jamaica in the 1970s, based on sound effects and experimentation, and which spread worldwide as a reference and element in many other musical genres.

The Dubversion Sistema de Som parties, which to this day, two decades later, are still in full swing and are a reference in the style, hosted Rockers Control, a band that performed and received live interventions from DJ Yellow P.

Years have passed since the group's first album, “Jacuípe Sessions”, released in 2008, and now in November 2021, Rockers Control - a trio formed by musicians and music producers Bruno Buarque - drums (Criolo, Tatá Aeroplano, Jorge dü Peixe, Estúdio Minduca), Cris Scabello - guitar and vocals (Bixiga 70 and Estúdio Traquitana), and MAU - bass (Anelis Assumpção, Karina Buhr, Vitoriano e Seu Conjunto, Comunsbalidos) - releases, after more than a decade, a new album. "Presenting To You - Rockers Control presents Cristopher Dilovah" will air on the main platforms on November 12th.

The album comes with 10 new tracks, the result of years of work playing together, and major guest appearances such as Maurício Fleury, Cuca Ferreira, Daniel Gralha, Marcos Maurício, Marietta Massarock, Tiago Saraiva, Douglas Antunes, Mairah Rocha and Victor Rice.

During the pandemic, we revisited the Rockers collection, which is huge, with older sounds, from our beginnings, and also many newer ones. As the world turned upside down, we sought the effective and affective medicine of music. We did a series of single releases and paved the way for 'Presenting To You'", explains Cris Scabello, who in Rockers is Cristopher Dilovah.

For the launch, the trio prepared an exclusive online show, which will also air on YouTube on November 12th, at 8 pm.

In a moment like the one we are experiencing, the important thing is to walk, together, in the strength of sound, existing, resisting and insisting...”, highlights the trio.
