LO-LO’s debut release—he’s also involved in running the label! “Encina & Roble” (sample 1) creates a mystical soundscape with a bassline that vibrantly traces the melody and a shower of sweet arpeggios, radiating an enchanting brilliance. Next up is “Rocket Science” (sample 2), a left-field house track that connects with the cosmos through similarly spacey synth designs. Much like the highly acclaimed catalog No. 1 by ARTURO HERNZAMA, this track takes a different approach from the hypnotic sounds typically associated with the currently trending South American techno—and that’s what really grabs you. It’s unlike anything you’d expect from Montevideo—I highly recommend it. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
