Mabreeze, the new signature by G13
Barcelona hides many cultural and musical jewels within the eclectic collection bars and music halls that line its narrow streets. One of the most unique places to take in this aspect of Barcelona’s underground music is G13Jam. This unique concert series supports artists across all genres by giving both locally based and international underground artists a platform where they can express themselves in front of a willing crowd of like minded fans here in Barcelona.
Ever since its inception, G13 Jam has served as a space for numerous talented independent artists to make a name for themselves on the local music scene. In an era where a lot of popular music seems lacking in meaningful content and artistic originality, finding artists whose music stirs the soul is like finding a needle in a haystack. Although many talented artists have graced our stage through the years, a few stand outs have managed to make a lasting impact and become fixtures on the local scene.
Mabreeze writes his lyrics with an unflinching honesty, and mixes them with brilliantly syncopated rhythms and hypnotic bass lines.
One of those few standouts is Mabreezee, an Angolan-Portuguese singer, rapper, beatmaker and music producer based in Barcelona. He writes his lyrics with an unflinching honesty, and mixes them with brilliantly syncopated rhythms and hypnotic bass lines.
Mabreeze’s music is a throwback to the golden age of hip hop and R&B; the mid 90’s – early 00’s. At his best, Mabreeze is a blend of the best elements of classic hitmakers like Nate Dogg, Jamiroquai and Anderson Paak. Inspired by artists like J Dilla, D’Angelo and Erykah Badu, Mabreezee presents a wide variety of vintage textures in his chords with a very current sound.
Most recently, Mabreeze featured on “Gotta Do Me“, a recently released EP by fellow Barcelona artist Juli Giuliani, someone with whom he collaborates regularly. On other occasions he has also worked with Barcelona hitmaker, Karmasound. Mabreeze has spent much of the last year working as a top producer and beatmaker, who has provided music for the likes of Ski Beatz & Smoke, Pete Rock, Marco Polo and Hi Tek.
G13 Club is a private social club for medical and recreational cannabis users based in Barcelona. It is also a space for musical and artistic development that promotes a multitude of activities focused on the expression and exhibition of urban, hip hop, reggae and skate culture.
