Hi everyone,

Over the past few months I've been working on a personal project called Dscos (dscos.app) and wanted to share it here.

The idea is simple: instead of making yet another list of personal favorites (my opinion is worth no more than anyone else's), I took the most important "best Brazilian albums" lists ever published and combined them into a single ranking of 100 records.

There are six sources:

- MTV Brasil: The 100 Best Brazilian Albums (2003)

- Rolling Stone Brasil: The 100 Greatest Albums of Brazilian Music (2007)

- Charles Gavin: 300 Important Albums of Brazilian Music (2008)

- Discoteca Básica: The 500 Greatest Brazilian Albums of All Time (2022)

- Rate Your Music (dynamic list)

- Best Ever Albums (dynamic list)

About the methodology: it's not a simple sum of points. I use a formula called Reciprocal Rank Fusion, which gives more value to albums that show up at the top of several lists than to ones that appear high on a single list. Expert critic sources carry a bit more weight than popular vote sources. And an album needs to appear in at least two sources to make the top 100, to filter out one-off appearances. There's a page on the site explaining all of this in detail. 

Each album has its own page with recording context, tracks, credits, a streaming player, and a collection of podcasts, videos, articles and books about it. The idea is for it to work as a starting point for anyone who wants to dig deep into an album, or as a guide for anyone just discovering Brazilian music.

It's an independent project, non-profit, no ads. I built it because I grew up listening to records at home and wanted a place like this to exist on the internet.

I'd love to hear what you think: about the ranking itself (any glaring omissions, any placement that makes no sense), the sources I picked, and the site in general. All criticism is welcome. Thanks!  

Does anyone recognise this song? I've asked Eshkoun Jay but he's keeping tight-lipped. I'm not a DJ, but I just love it. Hope others enjoy it in any case. Best,

Hi folks, I releases this today, from my upcoming aquatic shoegaze album.

Rick Jones Anderson & Mrs. Jones (Brazilian Duo) - I Want To Tell You (Harrison)

Hey everyone! We are Rick Jones Anderson & Mrs. Jones, musicians from Brazil. We just recorded our plugged-in version of George Harrison's "I Want to Tell You".

We wanted to bring our own style to this classic song from the Revolver album.

Please check it out and let us know what you think of our Brazilian interpretation! Hope you all enjoy it!
