Tri-fold brochure – Sloths
The most interesting electronic music coming out of Latin America right now is being built in an increasingly personal, intimate, and experimental way. We've already talked about this Costa Rican project before, reviewing their previous work., And we are happy to continue hearing that spirit of daring in his new recordings with every noise that passes through the speakers and through his head. This EP showcases a unique evolution, where the soundscapes and textures become increasingly daring and playful, yet without ever losing that nostalgic atmosphere that makes us feel as if each track was crafted just for us, to keep us company in our solitude. It's only nine minutes long; it's time to step away from your loved ones and allow yourself to find your own special corner to savor this little gem.

Deer Mx – A man in a cage
You already know them; we've spoken of them with admiration on other occasions. This Mexican couple, residing in Hong Kong, in the midst of these difficult times, has decided to lay down their more corrosive instruments and has taken up only the piano and voice to present us with a compilation of three endearingly composed songs, with a more subdued expression. However, they haven't lost the impact they had on their previous recordings., because their productions continue to reach straight to that little hollow in our stomach where they manage to move us, Without (far from it) descending into sentimentality. It's a momentary respite from the past noise and is instead approached as an opportunity to present songs in their freshest, cleanest form. Surely their audience will accept it without complaint.
