Electro grooves and South America have gone hand in hand for me ever since I first got seduced by those Subtropics releases back in the early days of this blog. Out of Paraguay today comes LPZ (twitter) with an EP 1983 that is going to put all souls to floor.
This EP sees LPZ move away from their more hip hop beats focused releases (when they went under the name Lopez) and has danceloor classic written all over it. Where they really hits their stride on the record is the closing track, Snake & Butterfish, that slowly builds from the detuned toms, to a squelching bassline, to the sounds of spirituality. Indiana Jones on acid.
LPZ – 1983 is out on May 7th on Body Work
