MIST075LP HIPERASIA LP
by EL GUINCHO

After a 5 year break, El Guincho — aka Canary Islands-born Pablo Díaz-Reixa —  is back with a new album, HiperAsia. HiperAsia is another enormous musical leap for El Guincho, inspired by a chain of Chinese bazaars in the outskirts of Madrid.

• “The most resolutely electronic work he’s done yet, Hiperasia buzzes like an ice-cream headache. His beats bob between the lurching rhythms of the L.A. beat scene, the snap of dancehall and reggaetón, and the shuddering, double-time pulses of jungle and footwork, and his synths recall both Dâm-Funk’s fat, augmented chords and Rustie’s dynamics-squashing compressors. The way jagged samples are shoehorned into the mix is reminiscent, at times, of the Bomb Squad—or a tropical take on them, anyway, like an MPC that’s sticky with mango and mojo. Touch down almost anywhere on the record, and you’ll discover details that trigger a hair-raising rush of sensation—brittle 909 snare rolls, crystalline choirs, video-game melodies, and basslines that reach frequencies most indie-electronic fusions never knew existed” – PITCHFORK

MIST018 ALEGRANZA
by EL GUINCHO

El Guincho’s mind-blowing debut is a mix of afro-beat percussion, calypso harmonies, psych tropicália, world music samplers, doo wop, trance repetition, underwater pop, steel drums and island feeling plus club oriented song structures, uptempo beats and exotica production. Fantástico!

“Mind-boggling Afro, Calypso and Tropicalia-flavoured debut… pitching percussion and tumbling rhythm against a collage of tropical psyche-funk samples, uplifting melodies and pulsing vocal chants. It’s club music with an organic and ethnographic twist, as potently danceable and accessible as it is proudly locative.” – THE AGE
