...according to our Brian on 20 November 2009.

El Guincho is one of these master blenders of warped pop-laden tropicalia soundscapery who wanders a similar path to High Places but infuses his music with a more Afro sensibility like Vampire Weekend and all of them. His new 12" on Young Turks has landed, namely 'Antillas' and it's a perky, celebratory carnival of a tune, very repetitive & trance inducing to those mullets off their tits on ketamine in some Shoreditch niterie. The Architecture in Helsinki mix numptifies it to new levels of kiddie rave irritation, Prins Thomas gives it a finger-clicking cosmic disco pulse and our old mate Ralph Cumbers (he actually was our rep at one time!!) dubsteps it up under his Bass Clef alias, retaining the carnival spirit whilst shedding the annoyance factor so "major props" to him as our Brett would say.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· Blending traditional island song, African rhythms
and sampled psychedelics, Pablo Diaz Reixa
AKA El Guincho creates joyously shambolic pop
songs.
· With its roots in world music, when Diplo and
friends over at Mad Decent heard ‘Antillas’
they loved it so much they wanted to collaborate
on a second disc of remixes.
· What they’re saying about El Guincho: “The
party never stops for Pablo Díaz-Reixa” - The
New York Times; “An exuberant global collage
of Afrobeat, Bollywood, Tropicalia, calypso and
1960s Spanish swing” - The Times; “A tropical
soundclash of spiralling steel drums, looped,
gnarled local songs and untrammelled joy” -
Observer Music Monthly.
