Two of the biggest names in the Buenos Aires Scene - Mariano Mellino & Interaxxis - collaborate on two tracks for the infamous Hope Recordings. Mariano Mellino's work has graced Sudbeat, Darkroom Dubs, Replug and Movement, while Interaxxis has seen his music appear on Plattenbank Records, Replug, Tulipa and Hope . They make the perfect musical pairing here, so let's get to the music...
'Ecouter' is a brooding and atmospheric workout, with plenty of drive and groove, with its bass powering the track along and some spacious pads and and subtle top line adding to the soundscape. A trippy and slightly wonky-edged whirling sound creates more tension as things really heat up, before we drift lusciously into the breakdown. A sophisticated number that's destined to cause devastation on the dancefloor.
'Woodland' is a tasty peak-time gem. Its intricate musicality is a serious piece of underground filthiness: big bass sounds, large sounding synths to cause mayhem, and seriously intense pads. Throw in the whirling and hypnotic pads, and that arp that comes and goes before really taking centre stage, and you get a track that adds another layer of bite to its already punchy aura. Big stuff!
