DJ JUNINHO PLAY

DJ Juninho Play, born Junior dos Santos in Salvador, Brazil, works within the arrocha funk scene from Bahia. His track 'Sobe Em Câmera Lenta (Arrocha Funk)' caught on locally, with its straightforward beats and lyrics about dancing and attraction. It's the kind of song that gets played at parties and in cars around the region.

His music leans on pulsing rhythms and a mix of Brazilian funk and arrocha, often with direct, sometimes explicit, lyrics. While some have criticized the content, his supporters see it as part of the local musical landscape. He's put out other singles like 'Tranca a Porta e Me Beija' and 'Chama o Grave', and has worked with artists including Wesley Safadão and Claudia Leitte.

On stage, he's typically backed by a DJ and a keyboardist, keeping the setup simple and focused on the groove. There's not much grand narrative here, just a producer making tracks that fit a specific, dance-heavy niche.
