Always fascinates me how some prog/dance music legends have gone a completely different direction in their lives. Pretty crazy to read about Dom Phillips becoming a champion of Brazilian tribal rights.
Dom’s a legend. He helped and to an extent orchestrated the movement of British prog as well as other sub genres. He was writing about Sasha,Digweed et al long before anyone had heard of them outside the UK. He was also involved promoting all the Mixmag nights that put Sasha on the map well before renaissance did.
Hoping he’s safe and well 
Coined the term ‘progressive house’ apparently.
Dom, not Dermo that is.

On Tuesday, Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro appeared to blame the missing men for their disappearance.
“Two people in a boat in a region like that, completely wild - it’s an unadvisable adventure. Anything can happen,” he said.
“Maybe there was an accident, maybe they were executed,” he said.
Pretty much:

Rumours that they were shot by some fisherman:
"British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira have been missing since Sunday morning in the vicinity of the Vale do Javari reserve. While the police urge that they are prioritizing the search for the two men, the Civil Police in the nearby town of Atalaia do Norte have already questioned six people in connection to the disappearance — five witnesses and one suspect.
The suspect in question is 41-year-old Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, a notorious local fisherman who also goes by the nickname “Pelado.” Pelado was arrested on Tuesday while carrying shells for a 16-gauge shotgun, 7.62mm rifle cartridges — reportedly from Peru — and a small amount of white powder believed to be cocaine. Non-police sources in Atalaia do Norte tell The Brazilian Report that Mr. Oliveira is the “prime suspect” of being involved in the disappearance, and that “everybody thinks it was him.”
Courts have deemed the government’s response to the Dom Phillips disappearance insufficient and ordered more resources.
According to witness statements, along with two other men, Pelado brandished guns at Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips on Saturday and threatened the pair. Other statements identified his boat pursuing the men at high speed early on Sunday, before they went missing. That said, he is currently only being held on charges of possessing illegal ammunition, and police say there is not yet any evidence linking him to the case.
More curious still are the circumstances surrounding his arrest. Civil Police officers brought Pelado in using his own boat, and he promptly had two lawyers — by the name of Ronaldo Caldas and Davi Barbosa de Oliveira — serving as his defense. However, Messrs. Caldas and Oliveira are not just any old lawyers. The former is the attorney general in Atalaia do Norte, while the latter is the attorney general of the neighboring town of Benjamim Constant.
Political involvement? There is growing concern about mounting political pressure to release Pelado. Atalaia do Norte Mayor Denis Paiva was pictured outside the fisherman’s home on Tuesday, shortly before his arrest. Mr. Paiva is known to have a poor relationship with the indigenous organizations that operate in and around the Vale do Javari reserve. “Since he was elected [in 2020], he hasn’t visited us once,” says Lucas Marubo, vice-coordinator of the Union of Indigenous Peoples of the Vale do Javari (Univaja). “I’ve no doubt [the criminals] have the mayor’s support.
Pelado was set to undergo his pretrial hearing on Wednesday, in which a local prosecutor was to request his preventive detention. If accepted, that would mean he would be transferred to a state prison in Tabatinga to await trial. However, the hearing was postponed and will take place later today."

"Eyewitness says suspect took a shotgun and ‘cartridge belt’ when he went after English indigenist and journalist
Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira disappeared in Vale do Javari last Sunday
By Daniel Biasetto - Special Envoy — Atalaia do Norte

A key witness stated that he saw Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira , known as Pelado, load a shotgun and make a belt of ammunition and cartridges shortly after the indigenist Bruno Pereira and the English journalist Dom Phillips left the São Rafael community for Atalaia do North, last Sunday morning. GLOBO had access to the report.
According to the witness’ narrative, Pelado, whom he referred to as a “very dangerous man”, had already promised to “settle accounts” with Bruno and stated that he would “exchange shots” with him as soon as the indigenist showed up at the scene.
Shortly after Bruno and Phillips left the community, a colleague of Pelado’s was seen on his boat with the engine running at idle, waiting for him, and another person lying on the boat, close to where Bruno and Phillips allegedly disappeared. The witness also said that, just below the Itaquaí River, Pelado was seen again on the boat, this time with four more people passing by at high speed. After that, he was not seen anymore. She also said that “there is no doubt” that he and the others went after the boat to do “something bad” against the boat of the indigenist and the journalist.
The witness’ report, who should be placed in a protection program, coincides with GLOBO’s revelation that military police officers who arrested Pelado on Tuesday confirmed that the suspect’s boat was seen chasing the boat of the indigenist and the journalist. shortly after they left the São Rafael community. Pelado was arrested and brought to the city on his own speedboat.
Witnesses reported to the police that the suspect’s boat, seized and brought with him to the city, passed at high speed behind Bruno and Phillips as soon as they left the São Rafael community, on a previously scheduled visit, so that the indigenist could have a meeting. with the community leader nicknamed “Barbecue”, who is Pelado’s uncle, with the objective of consolidating joint work between riverside people and indigenous people in the surveillance of the territory, which was greatly affected by the intense invasions. “Barbecue” was detained on Monday night to provide clarification as a witness and released shortly thereafter.
The two disappeared were traveling with a new boat, with a 40 HP engine and 70 liters of gasoline, enough for the trip, and 07 empty drums of fuel. The naked boat has a 60 HP engine and is faster.
The two arrived at their destination (Lago do Jaburu) on June 3, 2022, at 7:25 pm. On the 5th, the two would return early to the city of Atalaia do Norte. However, before that, they stopped in the São Rafael community, on a previously scheduled visit, so that the indigenist Bruno Pereira could hold a meeting with the community member nicknamed “Churrasco”, who is Pelado’s uncle, with the objective of consolidating joint work between riverside people and indigenous people in the surveillance of the territory, greatly affected by the intense invasions.
In the São Rafael community, the pair were going to talk to the leader, “Barbecue”, but they were greeted by his wife, who offered them “a sip of coffee and a loaf of bread”, according to the guards. This all took place around 4am on Sunday.
According to Univaja leaders, the two traveled along the Itaquaí River with the aim of visiting the Indigenous Surveillance team located near the town called Lago do Jaburu (near the Funai Surveillance Base on the Ituí River), so that the journalist to visit the place and do some interviews with the indigenous people.
— At 4 pm, another search team left Tabatinga, in a larger vessel, returning to the same place, but again no trace was found. It is worth mentioning that the indigenist Bruno Pereira is an experienced person who knows the region well, as he was the Regional Coordinator of Funai de Atalaia do Norte for years — says Univaja lawyer Eliésio Marubo.
Bruno Araújo was a constant target of threats for the work he had been doing together with the indigenous people against invaders in the region, fishermen, prospectors and loggers. The Javari Valley is the region with the highest concentration of uncontacted peoples in the world."
