Sao Paolo's Telepathique have already toured in Europe, and now the duo are poised to bring their groove-based blend of electro-pop, rock, house, and baile funk to the U.S. with their new Love & Lust EP, out now on The Control Group.
Imagine Brazil...imagine Sao Paulo...Telepathique is a band that only a city like Sao Paulo could create. A melting pot of sounds and electronic grooves from the 21st century.
This Brazilian electro-rock band is made up of a singer (Mylene) and DJ/producer/drummer (DJ Periferico), who has remixed songs featured on the "City Of God" remix soundtrack album, and has produced such Brazilian acts as Otto, Trio Mocoto, BiD, and Sidney Magal.
On stage they're like a hip hop duo with one dj and singer, always connecting with the audience and transmitting tremendous energy. Mylene is not an MC but sings the Funk Carioca (the favela's Funk) like one; Periferico plays the turntables like a punk drummer and the drums like a techno DJ. Mixing in their sound the flavour of jungle music as well as house music, Telepathique's first successful European tour proved them to be an entertaining group with roots on the dance floor and the horizon on the future soundsystem, never forgetting the present, with their electro and breakbeat. All of these ingredients make a terrific recipe and that is Telepathique.
Telepathique have played several festivals in Europe including Festival Hype at Tejo in Lisbon with Massive Attack, Diplo, and Hot Chip; the Brasil No Ar Festival in Barcelona; and the club Guanabara in London. The debut full-length 'Last Time On Earth' will be released summer 2008 and Telepathique will tour North America for the first time to support the release.
"DJ and producer Erico Theobaldo...,Could be considered one of the more versatile professionals in the Brazilian music scene.(...)" - Bruna Monteiro de Barros - Folha de Sao Paulo.
