Album Review: DemoSet Para Ursound 04 2013 by Cairo Braga
Alright, let’s dive into this funky little gem from Cairo Braga—DemoSet Para Ursound 04 2013. Released under the Elegant Elephant label in 2015, it’s one of those albums that kinda sneaks up on you. A mix of pop, electronic vibes with disco, house, and even some Euro-disco flavors thrown in for good measure. Cairo Braga handles the DJ mix duties here, and honestly? He nails it.
The whole thing feels like a late-night dance party where everyone’s vibing but no one’s trying too hard—you know what I mean? It’s got energy without being over-the-top flashy. And while there are plenty of tracks worth mentioning, two really stuck with me: Pista de Dança (com Wally Salomão) and Slave To The Rhythm (Love To Infinity Classic Paradise Edit).
Okay, so first up—Pista de Dança. This track hits different. There’s something about the way it blends these dreamy vocals with an infectious beat that just locks you in. Like, you’re not sure if you wanna groove or sit back and soak it all in. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that could make someone who “doesn’t dance” get up and move. You feel me? Plus, having Wally Salomão on board adds this artsy layer to it—it’s not your typical club banger, and that’s why it works.
Then there’s Slave To The Rhythm. Oh man, this remix is FIRE. If you’ve ever heard the original, you already know how iconic it is. But this version? It takes things to another level. The Love To Infinity edit gives it this lush, almost tropical vibe, making it perfect for both sunset chill sessions and full-on dancefloor madness. Every time the bassline drops, it’s like BAM—straight-up goosebumps. I swear, this track alone might’ve convinced me to buy better speakers.
What I love most about this album is how Cairo Braga keeps everything cohesive yet unpredictable. One moment you’re vibing to smooth synth lines (Me And My Imagination, anyone?), and the next you’re hit with something bold and punchy like Finally (12" Choice Mix). It’s like he knows exactly when to switch things up before they get boring.
But here’s the kicker—the credits list only mentions Cairo doing the DJ mix. No big production team, no endless lineup of guest artists. Just him, putting together a set that feels personal yet universal. Kinda makes you wonder how much more magic he’s got tucked away, right?
So yeah, DemoSet Para Ursound 04 2013 isn’t gonna change your life or anything—but it’ll definitely give you a reason to smile while you shuffle around your living room pretending you’re at a fancy disco. Weirdly enough, listening to it made me realize how much fun music can be when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hats off to Cairo Braga for reminding us of that.
Oh, and random thought—what’s with the elephant logo on the label? Feels like there’s a story there…
