Alejandro Marenco @ Podlasie Club [10.14.22]

https://soundcloud.com/alejandro_mrnco
Alejandro Marenco, the shortened moniker of Nicaraguan-born, Chicago-based musician Noel Alejandro Gutierrez Marenco, makes expansive electronic grooves designed for “throwing ass.” Marenco’s music is evocative of that night, the one that feels simultaneously driftless and gigantic, one that glimmers upon remembering hours spent in a sweat-drenched, dimly-lit club, or the last dance at a dive bar down the street, or a blaring stereo during a wide-eyed 3am cross-city drive to get home. Largely creating in Ableton (and occasionally bolstered by a drum machine and Moog synth), Marenco fluidly weaves a variety of sounds from endless inspirations - Jamaican collective Equiknoxx, the latin tribal techno of Nick León, and the influential dance label Livity Sound, to name a few. Elastic beats, industrial percussion, fluid synth, oscillating rhythms, and a flourish for ever-changing instrumentation, Marenco’s mixes are reverberating moments of kaleidoscopic euphoria.

RND 069 - Alejandro Marenco

this is my friend noel, aka alejandro marenco.
from the dancefloor to the record store, our friendship came to be through music. 

we both share the same love and appreciation for all those swung sounds heavy in bass and percussion. working at the same record shop, we would freak out about records; more often than not we are by the speaker at the same parties; we've shared the booth together; and each set of noel's i have seen has been absolutely the vibe. one of my favorite chicago DJs, to be honest, so i'm excited to share this mix of his with you. 

if you're noel's friend, he will big you up. and that's what raving is really all about. he truly supports the endeavours of his friends whether it's sharing mixes, showing up at the party, or spreading the word about his friends' achievements.

this friendship mix is literally all tracks made by his friends ~ some of them mutual so i’m over here like look at this! 🥹 

noel says: "Friendship to me is…being your authentic self around one another without fear of judgement. It's a connection based on mutual trust, support, respect, and understanding. It's holding space for each other through all of life's twists and turns."

i am grateful to have such a friend (with very killer taste in music nonetheless)!
