His previous release, “Calypso”—a bold, minimalist deconstruction of calypso—was also fantastic. Now, “Editales Vol. 1,” the new release from BATONGO (also known as DITONGO), the mysterious genius from Peru who delivers outlandish ideas and masterful craftsmanship with every release, has arrived. This time, it’s a powerful deep minimal disco track featuring bold sampling and looping of the Brazilian samba track “Berimbau”!!! The two-part structure—with its deep house/techno feel and the transition from the prologue (sample 1) to the main body (sample 2)—is utterly captivating.
Side B, “(esto) – You Know Nothing” (sample 3), where the guitar cutting and organ come alive with a hypnotic, funky vibe, also showcases his masterful skill. The latest release (No. 27) from the renowned label DEGUSTIBUS—led by the mysterious Peruvian genius BATONGO, a familiar name from the many masterpieces released by the maverick FANGO—is a new work from DITONGO, a pseudonym project by BATONGO himself.
