IMM 036EP
|
"A1 -- 'Pocho en Armonia' (Original Mix). We begin the EP with a subterranean floor-filler of a track -- groove packed and with plenty of atmosphere, moments of suspense and caverns of space, 'Pocho en Armonia' adds depth to any set. A solid bass line sits under Z@P's trademark rolling drum patterns, building the track layer upon layer, dropping in and out of gyratory samples, analog stabs and contrasting liquid electronica. Changeable until its resolution, you'd be wrong to underestimate its impact. A2 -- 'Taiko Drums' (Original Mix). Drums, drums and yet more drums -- introducing that trademark rhythmic patterning from the offset, this track is another fine example of set-building depth and atmosphere. Less intimidating than its predecessor, samples as eerie as they are cheeky compliment a simple bouncing bass line, dripping melody and muffled beats; Z@P the ringleader gathers us all to his cause, hatches a cunning plan and launches into a stopping, starting delight of an escapade. B1 -- 'Pocho en Armonia' (A-inc Remix). A-inc's offing reconstructs the original with a solid and more overtly persistent bass line and edgier samples; simple and effective use of arrangement keeps the track interesting by dropping sounds in and out of the mix -- tweaking, groaning, whirring and clicking, 'Pocho en Armonia''s new incarnation is both cantankerous and mischievous. Like back-and-forth banter, this track is a joy to listen to for its curious assortment of characters as well as an inherent quirkiness."
