Overall it's a cool mix, the story develops well, I like that you keep the beat going through your breaks to keep the energy flowing. The first item that could be improved is that your mix is too quiet. That's because your kickdrum and bass are too loud in relation to the rest. Take them back a few decibel and you will be able to then make the entire mix louder - the mids and trebles need to shine more.  In the case of bass mixing, less is often more. I use pretty skinny kickdrums and subtle basslines. If the bassline and kick are competing for the same space, I always use sidechain compression on the bassline to make sure the bottom end stays tidy. Musically, you work with very short loops (1 bar). I would encourage you to make your loops longer and create a bit more subtle variation (i use randomized effects a lot). You will see, the track immediately sounds less repetitive. Overall, this is good techno that would be even better with a more in your face mix.

Great use of all the sounds/vocals - great!

We are proud to present the last cañonazo of the year. Descending from the mountains to the Caribbean we found a guaca full of hip-breaking experimental dembow. ‘Sentimientos Encontrados’ marks another edge in the vast and stimulant sonic exploration of Nicola Cruz. The Ecuadorian artist ornamented 4 tracks with a wide rhythmic spectrum where sound currents from two continents are masterfully fused: South American percussions, 303 lines, and his modular system are at the service of futuristic perreo but also for the banger 'Se pone caliente', a sort of bastard son between dubstep and techno conceived in the Quito heights. 

Rising Honduran reggaeton star Isabella Lovestory hops on 'O sea, sí te quiero' for a killer featuring. "Hard and fast, as a thunder", she sentences. Her heart of ice exalts the collective scream where the woman, as it usually happens in the genre and as it should be in any field, are the leading subjects/characters. Finally, the journey closes with a brilliant and classy reinterpretation of ‘Sin retorno' from Ehua. The Nervous Horizon affiliated artist delivers a percussively intense and highly functional version that plunges you into a mental and bodily march. As one of the songs dictates in a processed voice, this is music to make the dance floor get caliente.

(In)-Pure mixed feelings.

Pelada - Movimiento Para Cambio
Format: LP / Digital
Cat.No: PAN 102
Release Date: 04 October 2019
Purchase: bit.ly/2N5ID0M / bit.ly/2yWc1yu

Movimiento Para Cambio, is the full-length and debut for PAN from Montreal based duo Pelada. Comprising of vocalist Chris Vargas and producer Tobias Rochman, they have gained international attention through the city’s underground warehouse rave scene.

An urgent, headstrong body of work, the LP uses the music as a mechanism for delivering ideas central to the group’s moral and political ethos. Vargas explores themes of power, identity, surveillance and environmental justice atop Rochman’s raw mix of rave synths, acid basslines, breakbeats and dembow rhythms.

While at times unpredictable, the album is unified in its fast and loose approach. A Mí Me Juzgan Por Ser Mujer (‘I Am Judged Because I’m a Woman’) is an anti-machista anthem, stylistically nodding to NY house. Though Vargas doesn’t identify as a woman themselves, they understand their experience as a woman in an imbalanced patriarchal society that excludes women, femmes and non-binary people. Habla Tu Verdad (‘Speak Your Truth’) emphasizes the need to overcome the stigma around discussing sexual harassment, offering courage and strength to those who may need it. Asegura (‘Secure’) deals with the unprecedented power of Big Data, which monetizes a surveillance based economy through its users' data and behaviours. 
These themes are set to fierce unrelenting bpms, nods to gabber, and samples of a reality show where young men compete in a prison fitness contest. Caderona (‘big hips’), features a hardline perreo-tinged beat that carries Vargas’ vocals with refreshing ferocity. Inspired by a cumbia song, Caderona offers a counterpoint to the male gaze, acting as an opportunity to demand space. Aquí describes the reality of a global corporate domination, where capitalist insatiability meets government inaction as we sit on the precipice of a mass extinction of our own making.

Pelada hope to inspire critical self- reflexivity through engagement, building power, demanding space and action. Or as it is written in their liner notes: ‘ABRE TUS OJOS, LA BESTIA SE ALIMENTA DE LA EXPLOTACIÓN' which translates to ‘OPEN YOUR EYES, THE BEAST FEEDS ON EXPLOITATION’.

The album is mastered by Jeremy Cox, featuring artwork by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.
