ANDY SOMOZA レコード& CD

Review: London's Lirica Archives hear two acid/electro heads go head-to-head on a new EP themed after a nominal, demented festival. Andy Somoza and Aka Juanjo are two producers from Bolivia and therein lies the four-track rub: a slickly unsettling analog house record flecked with South American flavour and fervour. With two sides shared equally between artists, Somoza handles peaktime with rubbery basses and single-hit vocal ones, while Juanjo burrows deeper into the groove, with growling basses and swarthily shadowed vocal samples arranged longitudinally across 'The Unknown' and 'Constante'.

Review: Locked In Records delivers a dynamic EP with The Amigos, showcasing the talents of Andy Somoza and Juaan across four stellar but very different techno tracks. On Side 1, Andy Somoza sets the tone with 'Disperso,' a homage to the Dutch techno sound of 1991, complete with a Technotronic-inspired bassline that infuses the track with playful energy. '5Am' follows suit with its heavy early 90s bassline and infectious groove, enhanced by retro vocal samples that add an extra layer of nostalgia. Flipping over to Side 2, Juaan takes the reins with 'Waita,' offering an eerie and atmospheric journey characterized by its late-night spooky melody. 'Mi Partner' rounds out the EP with a moodier, more melodic vibe, evoking a sense of chill-out ambiance while still maintaining its techno edge. Each side of this record offers its own unique flavour making this a very versatile record.
