Vincent van Gogh

Hi fellows. In the last weeks I’ve bought some new stuff, most of them connected with Deep House, great stuff btw. So I decided to make this mixtape, mixing some Deep tracks with Minimal. I believe it went pretty well. PS: Beware with Mi:Grant track, monster hit, floor killer if you ask me.

Mixtape here

One of the most talked about records of recent months finally gets a release on what is slowly turning into a label from Ricardo. Yes, this is the track that has been featuring in his sets with the children singing or chanting from Christian Vander - Baba Yaga La Sorcière. “Enfants” is for minimal techno what mr Levan’s “Stand On The Word” is for disco and what Theo Parrish’s “Friendly Children” is for house! A future classic. Extra beats (”Enfants (Tambours)”) on the flip too!

Priceless !

Remember Ricardo’s video at Kristal Glam? Well, it generated a hype around that track, here’s the situation:

Released already? No! According to this interview, the track is produced by Ricardo and it will be released soon at Cadenza.

What about the childrens singing, is that a original song? Yes! It’s called “Baba Yaga La Sorciere” by “Choeurs D’enfants”. There’s a preview right here!

That’s it folks! Now, quoting Luciano:

Q:Can we expect a follow-up to ‘No Model No Tool’?
A:It’s in the pipeline - it’s ‘Enfants’ by Ricardo Villalobos. It’s a magic record! You will be surprised!

Let’s wait.

“A prominent tech-house DJ and prolific producer with releases on Tenax Recordings and Safari Electronique prior to his work with Wagon Repair, Luca can also be found presenting the excellent Xtrabass show on Samurai FM. Opener ‘Like a Sadhu’ is a driving tech-house track, motored by a pulsating bass loop and enlivened by fast approaching synth highlights, buzzing rhythmic tones and restless percussive transformations. A2 - ‘Trust’ is saturated with new dimensions, mixing a deep bass drive and clattering percussion with intensifying synth passages and an unnerving ambience. B1 - ‘The Way To Corvocado’ is the deepest of the trilogy, mixing a sparse soundscape with subtle percussive pushes as a stabbed chord passage adds melody.”

“The italian Lucio Aquilina is another module of the steadily growing italo techno phenomenon around protagonists from the likes of Davide Squillace or Renato Figoli. 2007 was the year of breakthrough for the young man from Naples, who released six records on labels like Trapez, Minisketch or Adagio within a short time only. His Cocoon Recordings debut “Magic m” is a nicely addlebrained tech house tune with weird acid sounds that catch up with smooth harmonies and even some reverbed dub effects. A real highlight for fans of the works of luciano or Ricardo Villalobos. “My cube” is taking the same line and plays with similar harmonies and melodies, but is slightly more minimal and straight in the beat, and thus reminds of productions of the italian eclat crew around Alfa Romero or Scary Grant. Both tracks are strongly following the trend of garnishing minimal techno and house tunes with musical elements.”

We’re back with another “unidentified” monster track! This one, is a little old. Josh Wink played @ Movement/DEMF in 2006. Go to 3:00 in the video and get some sick beats. By the way, the first one is “Granate Granada” by Tadeo. This is sick..
