sunlightsquare s first single of 2017, oyelo, is a mixture of jazz, cuban and house music in its most authentic form. starting with moody latin-jazz piano and sun-drenched live percussion played by master percussionist giovanni imparato, the track is driven by the classic house beat of the tr-909 - the legendary 1980 s drum machine. ronnie scott s resident cuban singer rene alvarez delivers the impassioned vocals, followed by the main man claudio passavanti s heated montuno piano riffs, which combine seamlessly to create a blissful, dance-floor experience. it s a perfect marriage of organic grooves, lush beats and soulful vocals, joining the dots between different generations of latin dance music.
for the b side, london based, japanese producer kay suzuki transformed the original track into his signature psychedelic journey in 2 parts. his by the sea mix takes you to the havana beach with its synthesiser generated waves & seagulls right from the intro. the stripped-down beats and vocals are smoothly laid out with warm analogue synth textures, giving more space to claudio s tasteful latin-jazz keyboard improvisations. in contrast, the drum dub goes to the opposite side of the spectrum, all the musical elements have been removed, focusing solely on the live percussion and the raw tr-909 beat, all dubbed out with tape delays for a classic cosmic dub treatment.

bad education is a soulful heater that will shake your hips and your social consciousness. inspired by the afro-latin soul blends from the likes of joe bataan and ray barreto, this collaboration between timmion records and yemayá sol records - brainchild of bardo martinez (lead singer of chicano batman), makes a statement. the horn laden groove will transport the listener to a summer in new york. the memorable flute line by ernie hawks is flavorfully funky while the pulsating tumbao of the conga carries the vitality of a nuyorican neighborhood in full effect. the force of the rhythm section provides the vehicle by which martinez lays down a fiery indictment of educational institutions, defining them as a mouthpiece to the military industrial complex. the music and the message flow together in a very classic sense, packing a punch that gives it to the man, necessary now more than eve

ecuador s rising son, nicola cruz, returns to multi culti with cantos de vision, a truly visionary ep backed by remixes from jaja, argentinian uji, and multi culti s own thomas von party. one of the core artists in multi culti s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, nicola cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. it s a genre that multi culti ambassadors dreems & thomas von party refer to as folklorica, a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skilfully executed than on nicola s tracks. following up on his debut lp for latin america s indie powerhouse, zzk records, the return to multi culti sees cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. this new club sound is at the fore on lead track tzantza, already an integral part of nicola s live shows and dj sets at festivals like sonar and mutek.

boleros valses y mas is the stones throw debut from frankie reyes, the alias of gabriel reyes-whittaker who also records as gb (gifted & blessed). comprised mostly of popular latin standards from the mid-twentieth century, the source material was reworked by reyes under an approach he’s dubbed “technoindigenous studies” which explores his puerto rican heritage through modern electronics. the inspiration for boleros valses y mas formed when los angeles radio collective dublab invited gabriel to participate in an event themed specifically around latin american modernism. “i thought about how i might capture the essence of this theme using my instrument of choice, the synthesizer. what came to mind was to cover some of the classic latin american compositions that i grew up hearing around me and have grown to love as i’ve gotten older, most of them in the bolero style but a few in the waltz, son, and even mariachi style.” by using audio-to-midi and sheet music-to-midi processing gabriel has recontextualized these popular tracks easily overheard while visiting any of los angeles’ predominantly latino neighborhoods with a single oberheim synthesizer. by removing the lyrics, the emphasis remains on the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic aspects of these classics, many still sung by latin american artists today

guitarist rolando bruno hails from buenos aires and got his start playing a raw brand of garage and punk with his band los peyotes. a few years back he took a step into the not-so-distant world of afro-peruvian psicodelico that s had a recent renaissance throughout south america. what made his early forays into a more tropical branch of fuzz so unique was his accompanying band-or lack thereof. armed with an electric guitar and self-produced and recorded backing tracks, rolando bruno and his orquesta midi jet-setted across europe and japan as a mad scientist one-man band, laying down a relentless style of chicha classica gone loopy that earned him several tours and a full-length album with the swiss imprint, voodoo rhythm. originally recorded in 2011 and now remastered and presented by names you can trust on vinyl for the first time, these two tracks are a glimpse into rolandos prolific electric madness and a lysergic-laced pointer towards things to come from the talented six-stringer.

26 red hot skin slappin bongo bashin latin jazz n mambo bangers - the phrase living legend is undoubtedly overused but there can be few people more deserving of such an accolade than jack costanzo. born on the 24th september 1919, costanzo is arguably the most significant percussionist of the modern era. playing with many key orchestras, leading his own band, appearing in numerous tv shows and films and tutoring bongo playing to the stars, more than any other figure jack costanzo brought percussion, specifically latin percussion and his trademark bongos, to widespread attention. but he wasn t merely a popularist, he was in turn revered by his peers and critics alike for his natural ability, invention, and perhaps most importantly his sheer versatility. he became known as mr. bongo (first coined by jazz critic leonard feather), and the tag could hardly be more appropriate.
