building on a series of releases on labels like true type tracks, illegal alien records, and abstract mechanisms, roberto espinosa launches his visionary rhythm designation with micelio: tecnocigalpa ep. drawing inspiration from the natural methods of decomposition and regeneration (essentially the power of mushrooms), vr’s first reference is a 3-tracker that combines social commentary with rhythmic analog and digital waves, reinforced with ceremonial shakers, percussion, and textures obtained by buried mics to propagate an elemental underground vibration, and integrates the sharpening of a machete with the hi-hats to provide the energy to cut through negativity.
