Review: Sebastian Hoyos is a Colombian DJ and producer from Medellin who has been releasing on Comeme Records since 2012 when he first presented the Chupa EP. "Los Muchachos" is his new single and follows a darkly balearic path like much of his label mates at present with its '80s Italo horror film synths, grinding rock bass and harsh drum machine strikes all working to perfection. Second offering "La Grua" features a bit of help from DJH and gets all slo-mo and low-slung on you with its woozy deep-latin groove. There's also a killer remix of it by Salon des Amateurs resident Detlef Weinrich aka Tolouse Low Trax. His "Interview remix" injects some added oomph into the track in typically stylish fashion.
Review: The work of Sebastian 'Sano' Hoyos, Gregorio 'Gladkazuka' Gomez, Natalia Valencia and Comeme boss Matias Aguayo, Rionegro is a true product of its environment. It came about after the foursome jammed together in a town of the same name, just outside Medellin in Colombia. Inspired by salsa and merengue as well as Aguayo's leftfield take on house and techno, it's a vivid affair. It begins with the jazzy "Lugarena", before the quartet plunges into the Duane Eddy-esque guitar duels of "Negro Empelota". By the time they have reached the party rhythms of "Carruseles", the work really hits its salsa stride, while "Llego El Don" is imbued with a merengue swagger. It's house and techno shot through with some pura vida magic.
