2011 was a great year for Brazilian music, specially on vinyl.
Even though there were still alot of good records that weren’t released in the format (we are working on it, don’t worry!), it’s definitely clear that the artists, labels (independent or not), Djs, collectors and music shoppers in Brazil are more and more aware of the importance and value of having their favorite music pressed to acetate.
The simple fact the we can now do a list of top 15 brazilian vinyl records already says alot (we had to do a top 15 instead of 10, that way it wouldn’t look so bad having all our releases in the list of course…). Just last year this would’ve been impossible probably.
