Review:
Like his previous outing on Basic Fingers, this release sees Latin house/disco producer Jose Marquez breathe new life into a pair of vintage Latin releases. Marquez excels when it comes to drum programming, and both remixes here are propelled forwards by heavy Brazilian drums. As remixes go, they're delightfully sparse, with the action built on heavy percussion and the originals' jaunty vocals. The Tego Calderon rub introduces some spooky electronic noises, but they largely take second fiddle to the cacophony of drums that should ensure sweaty arm waving out on the dancefloor. Did somebody say "carnival"?
