El Guincho Antillas

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.
