The Macondo ep is essential data for any DJ surfing the techno/ house divide. These sassy and classy numbers dispense with clichéd mega-breakdowns in favour of locked, refreshing grooves.

Macondo is a bewildering range of tuned electronic percussion, anchored by huge, ever-growing subs. Despite its vast mix architecture, it also delivers a sly sweetness.

Cumbah follows neatly along the same path, with even larger subs and a darker feel. It builds to an absolutely massive sound, sure to make any system punch above its weight.

Encantada is the sultry sister of the others, adding some grainy, pulsing strings to the formula. Never pushing, always grooving, she is the perfect lady for welcoming the sunrise.
