in contrast to a recurring theme of uninviting releases by labels that seem to offer tracks- so easy to digest they get lost with an un-inspiring and flat feel, the collaboration of hermanez and ramom tapia is a coupling of dark moods and techy deepness, listen even deeper and you?l find a wealth of detail stuffed full of mythical rides push an organ into a dark corner and have it brutally assaulted by a groove-hungry gang of latin approved drums and the outcome is pretty much that of miconns second release. syncopated sturdy percussion and hi hats sit amongst a spring-loaded beat whilst lazy organ keys relax the pace
