ARKST 003EP
|
Bflecha's comeback on Arkestra is an alloy of golden-era Spanish pop, R&B, contemporary electronica and classic dance music on a quest for the definitive 21st century pop music. "Qvasi Naves" is a triumphant march with plenty of pizzazz, winding horns, bursting synths and spattered 808 percussion and warehouse diva screams. "Razas Salvajes" takes us into the woods at night with dark wave-ish material and Drumma Boy swagger. "Salacot" features a skippy drum pattern, half 2step/half calypso, dyed in Trevor Horn-style production. Remix by Noaipre.

ARKST 002EP
|
Arkestra presents the first release for this mysterious Spanish producer. Little is known about Noaipre (Rohe Rodriguez on his ID). The A-side kicks things hard with "Pretty Psycho," a fuzzy-squared mammoth stomper greased with glowing hot marmalade riffs and rave-ish crescendos, topped with colorful chipmunk-diva chops that sugarcoat this urgent ode to golden-era grime circa 2005. "Anxiety Square" features synths in a bright green, dense waterfall of ones and zeros pouring and bubbling over spin-dry cycle snares, toms and kicks.

ARKST 001EP
|
BFlecha presents certified floor-banger "Ceja De Carnival." This is her particular vision of dirty-South hip-hop sprayed with day-glo psychedelia; like Three Six Mafia playing 808s and flutes on a starry night around a campfire with Gang Gang Dance. The dreamy, raw ballad "Kosmic Lovers" captures the new school "purple wow" sound coming from Bristol (Joker, Guido, Gemmy) with a palette of epic '80s divas like Kate Bush or Laurie Anderson. The artwork features an original oniric painting by Maya Hayuk.
