Bonde Do Role Set ‘Marina’ On Fire

Electronic Baile funk trio Bonde Do Role know how to get a partystarted, and thanks to the help of some new friends, this party willnever stop. The Marina Gasolina EP, out Dec. 4 via DominoRecords, features a few new tunes and select remixes by CSS, Ladytron,Fake Blood, and more. Here, flirty club favorite “Marina Gasolina”receives the royal remix treatment courtesy of electro rock provocateurPeaches. The near five-minute nugget features a sultry techno flavorcompared to the original, but the undulating synth coiled around MarinaVello’s dominant shouts and guttural growls is reminiscent of a darkerbut just as danceable sound. The signature kick drums nod to thegroup’s Brazilian roots, but sinister waves of feedback and distortedhandclaps are more akin to Lords of Acid than fellow Baile funkenthusiast M.I.A. Though it’s nearly impossible to discern any lyricsother than “Marina Gasolina” and “Marina is on fire,” you can be sureVello’s saying something dirty, so don’t be ashamed to get on the dancefloor and grind — you know you want to.
