Guti 'Swings' (Desolat)
Guti has previously put out releases on Crosstown Rebels, Defected and his own Rompecorazones label. Here he returns to Loco Dice’s Desolat, a label he also has links with. ‘Like The Old Days’ shows his Latin roots with organic drums, block hits, off-kilter synths, guitar strums and an odd noise that sounds like the bouncing of
a ping-pong ball. ‘Rawcid’ is what space-techno would sound like if it were a real genre, while the stuttered vocal and crisp drums of ‘Judge Me’ are made for peak-time and the blissed-out hip hop of ‘I Was Yours’ shows off Guti’s production skills. Finally, ‘Swings’ makes use of loose drums, pulsing sine waves
and a sexy vocal.
