Ricardo Villalobos & Umho 'Por Suerte' (Drumma Records)
Experimental business here from the original livewire himself, Ricardo Villalobos, and his old Chilean friend Umho. The two men appear to have dissected a relatively ‘normal’ piece of music and put it back together in the wrong order: there’s a consistent beat and the various effects are in time, but it’s pretty far from being a peak-time banger. We listened to it several times and couldn’t help but be charmed by its oddball chirps, fizzes and bleeps.
