Carioca funk DJ/producer Rennan da Penha has many claims to fame. He’s behind Rio’s monumental Baile da Gaiola favela parties as well as the recent rise of 150 bpm funk—a speedier, sweatier reincarnation of past trends that he helped spread to mass audiences. But da Penha’s head-spinning, bass-heavy bangers also help underline the music’s soulful, melodic qualities. The restless producer leads high-profile collabs with the likes of MC Livinho and Turma do Pagode and fills his skeletal jams with smooth R&B, luminous pop and swaying pagode rhythms.
