Solta Futura - (3:49) 130 BPM
Review: A Technicolor fusion of cumbia, ska, Balkan and exotica on this latest release from Dutch producer Bas Voorn, operating under his Solo Moderna alias for the Sonido Pouble EP. The opening title track has a rootsy slo-mo dub vibe to it, replete with playful brass and organs that remind us of Perez Prado, while "The Scatterer" is a more upbeat electro-swinger. Our favourite though has to be the ethno-jumble of "Solta Futura", which throws a plethora of sampled sounds over a tight, jazzy beat. Look out for some radical overhauls by Farrapo, Dixone and Second Sky & Thomas Blondet too.
