Melodic techno with a huge Latin American influence. Feels like one long summer dance party in various stages in one album.
RIYL: Sofi Tukker, Black Coffee, Nicola Cruz, Nicolas Jaar, Hermanito, DJ Seinfeld
FCC CLEAN!
1*(2:57)- very hot summer dance party, solid background beat with melodic guitar on top. Definitely black coffee energy
2(2:46)- starts with vocals and has more mellow washes of sound
3(2:44)- if I was DJing a party I would play this as filler music when there are like 5 people there and no one is dancing but everyone is in a good mood
4(3:14)- the first drink has hit at the party and people are starting to move to the beat
5(2:57)- starts with melancholic female vocals over a guitar picking then eases into a slow lowkey beat. The sun has definitely set at the party and we're seeing the remnants of orange in the sky
6**(3:20)- bouncy energy with lil brass accents
7(4:38)- similar filler track vibes but has a darker sexier energy. Track feels longer than it should be
8**(3:51)- we're definitely hitting 12.30am at this party. Great percussive variation with some jazzy piano in the mix. Fade out echo ending.
9(3:00)- deep vocals with some cheeky accordion. Definitely feels like a hot sweaty mess.
10(4:29)- got some high vibraphone melodies over hazy vocals
11(3:43)- unexpected triplet beat! Got some harp in this one. Goes a little silent around 2:06/2:07 for a couple seconds
12(4:31)- starts with a guitar riffing on a harmonic scale with vocals. Feels like we're back to 10pm party energy. Still a bop, especially the second half of it.
