Sao Paulo is a Brazilian city that has a reputation for creating great electronic music--whether it be wafty D&B or unapologetic pop and baile funk. Telepathique is another great export that sounds like Chicks on Speed meets Garbage.
Imagine Brazil...imagine São Paulo... Telepathique is a band that only a city like São 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.
Their debut North American release "Love & Lust" is a toast to life. A passive/aggressive sound contaminates us on the dance floor. With their feet in Europe, Telepathique bring a message of electronic miscegenation.
On stage they are like a hip hop duo with one dj and singer, always connecting with the audience and transmitting tremendous energy. Mylene is not a MC but sings the Funk Carioca (the favela?s Funk) like one; Periférico 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 this summer 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 São Paulo.
