J Paraguai 'Rumba' (Bar Musica)
Bartolomeo’s Bar Music label promises to inject charm and originality into the underground house and techno scene. The title track of J Paraguai’s new EP has a kick with tribal stylings, gravelly bass and raw percussion that sounds like it’s being played on a set of saucepans, with Bruno Pronsato also turning in a mix that touches on electro and techno to produce a freaky late-night jam. Frenetic B-side ‘Ble’, meanwhile, with its minimal drums and intense synth stabs, is made for those moments when everyone loses it. Closing track ‘Atles’ follows along the same lines, but ‘Rumba’ is the one for the house heads here.
6/10
