Taken from SBKT050: ABADIR - Mutate
Release date: 22nd July 2022

Marking the 50th release-proper on SVBKVLT, we are excited to present ‘Mutate’, a new album by ABADIR.

‘Mutate’ started when I was trying out Maqsoum loops at high bpm blended with Jungle tracks during one of my DJ sets. I noticed that the Maqsoum rhythm complements the Amen break in a refreshing way. The first time I actually tried integrating both in my productions using “call and response” was when Ice_Eyes asked me to remix one of their tracks. The result was the closest to what I had always imagined to be my own club sound.

I set out to make an album using the same technique with some of my favorite club genres. My aim was to mutate those genres, collecting different types of Arabic rhythms and cooking them with Jungle, Jersey Club, Reggaeton, Footwork, etc. It’s an irreversible equation, like a chemical reaction, where the output is a melted piece which cannot be broken down into its separate inputs. Instead of ‘deconstructing’ or generally looking beyond club music, I made some fatty, straight up dance floor music.’ – ABADIR

ABADIR - Another One

Following on from a ferocious start to the year with “Machete / 777”, Club Romantico steps into fine form with the labels head honchos first official solo release in almost 4 years. Florentino has been hinting at a new sound for a long while now & its clearest manifestation arrives on the 28th of April in the shape of ‘Xcuse Me / Loka”. 

Florentino brings some of the influences from his youth to the forefront here - with his father heavily involved in the Manchester acid house scene & his mother, with her own in-depth knowledge of different strands of latin dance music, also working in Manchesters club scene after first emigrating from Bogotá - the sounds of Madchester, an era gone by, echo equally alongside the sounds of early Nurican / Latin house here. 

The artist manifests these sounds in a somewhat freaked manner, mischievous & seductive in equal parts, ‘Xcuse Me’ channels runway energy with cries to push the decibel levels further & further only for the listener to be told “Tu no sabes lo que hay aqui” . On the flip, Loka wears its Latin house influence on its sleeve, running through what feels like a million vocal chops of old Nurican records - only to be destroyed through the lense of skeletal Dembow & Guaracha with a structure that feels somewhat like a club mega-mix. Both are drum workouts with a twist, confident in their execution & unruly in nature.
