DJ Lengua
untitled EP
$7.99
"Killer debut from LA's DJ Lengua, aka visual artist Eamon
Ore-Giron. Lengua's dropped some mixtapes in the past and is well
known at the infamous Club Unicornio nights in the Bay, but this
EP finds him really flexing his skills, foremost of which is the
ability to fuse loops from traditional Latin tunes and cumbias with
chunky, straightforward beats to create seriously infectious tracks. "Cumbia
Squares(1)" ramps up with tasty, dusty drums and circular flute
/ xylophone licks before the repeated "cumbia cumbia cuuumbiiiaa!" chants
and accompanying guitar coda seal the deal; the L Pacheco remix(2)
sticks to the original's blueprint, extending the track for your
mixing pleasure while dubbing things out a bit. There's a little
boom bap, organ stabs and some deep percussive flourishes on the
upbeat "L Dolor(3)" and some just plain lovely stuff in "L
Pacheco(4)," but probably the most immediate track here is the
guitar driven "Mi Camino(5)." Tucked away at the end, don't
skip the 7+ minute bloopy minimal electronic version of "Low
Rider," entitled "Lowrider Mambo(6)." 7 tracks; 30
minutes. Recommended."
