Wet Shoes EP Rudolf

Argentinean born artist Alejandro L. Ross aka Rudolf aka Perro Magnetico is a pioneer in the Mean Records family. With highly rated releases on Archipel and Nervmusic, he now shows us his fourth EP on Mean, encasing us in his signature elements of quirky yet groove led beats we are so confident to hear and delighted by from this artist. Elegant minimal grooves combined with jazz and sensual house guide us through a story of liquid funk soundscapes throughout the entire Wet Shoes EP for Mean 010. A1: Joda en Cala Comte is a playful experimentation of elastic and loopy sounds, powerful yet distorted vocals encompassed in a warped and bouncy hypnotic groove. A2/ B1: Toys and Us and Wet Shoes are dance floor delights, providing hand claps and a fair share of booty shaking pretty hard to resist. However, they never lose sight of their dark and perlonesque elements, keeping them firmly bedded in a strong and rooted techno atmosphere - ‟ that something extra‟ to a floor worthy moment. Wet Shoe's cleverly crafted drum progressions with warm and rolling bass are elegantly wrapped in industrial samples retaining interest for their audience. B2: The extended vocal mix comes from Fabrizio Maurizi. It is a trippy journey with crisp pushy vocals, added and arranged giving Wet Shoes a new spin. Metallic and raw sounds it harmoniously alongside the deep bass, a touch of pop which makes sure the track stays in your head. Recorded between London and Ibiza?
