The last time we looked at Cadenza, the praise mostly centered around the unique ability of artists on the label to create tracks well over ten minutes long that captured a Latin feel within the confines of a microhouse framework. I made much of the fact that, yes, home listening-wise this may not make a lot of sense, but heard inside of mixes and out on the dancefloor that this sort of stuff is minimalism at its finest. Owing a lot to the sound of Villalobos, but never coming near the sheer complexity and obfuscation, Luciano and friends have created a safe haven and a sure bet for this stuff’s continued prevalence. Same goes for this one too.
