Cadenza es como la influenza

Cadenza released the luscious Contemporary 0.1 and Classics last month as a 2 disc cd. Contemporary 0.1 has been mixed so beautifully by Luciano. The mix features Luciano himself, the Romanians who started Arpiar (Petre Inspirescu and Rhadoo), Argenis Brito, and Digitaline, and the Chilean Alejandro Vivanco among others. Cadenza is headed in the right direction continually becoming more and more amazing. Even though I enjoyed the mix better, Classics, a collection of past highlights, is still top-notch. Check out Matt's Thanksgiving Feast for a track from that disc. Here's a couple that I love from the mix:


Alejandro Vivanco - Madre Tierra
"Respira por tus manos, respira por tus pies...agradece" - beautiful


Petre Inspirescu - Galantar
This song sounds like trying to start an engine that won't start. BUT, it is not your engine it is the engine of your worst enemy, then you realize they are stuck and you are moving forward - so satisfying. It is 1 of 2 Pedro songs that appear on Contemporary 0.1 - the other, 'Racakadoom', you can find in Matt's Cyberjungle mix. You don't want to miss the Arpiar showcase at next years Winter Music Conference in Miami.

Thanksgiving Feast

What better time to post a smorgasbord of tracks than the beginning of this lovely holiday season? Not a difficult task, as this has been one of the most exciting years for music in recent memory from where I'm sittin. That's plenty to be thankful for.

Let's start with something deep and sinister:



H.O.S.H. - Don Alfredo with Adriano [Kindisch]



Follow that with a soulful emotive minimal classic:



Luciano and Pier Bucci - Amael [Cadenza]



Zone out, way out, deep space style:



Smith N Hack - Falling Stars [Smith-N-Hack]



Get Discofied:



Metro Area - RMM Special Dub [Environ]



And some tasty electro synthpop RnB for dessert:



Daedelus - My Beau [Ninja Tune]


That's all folks, have a happy Thanksgiving!
