Latin America is in turmoil. Riots and protests in the streets, plus a need to progress have given plenty of inspiration to artists there to voice the current status quo.

ALT LAT 2020 is a reflection of this, the voice of artists from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Paraguay using dance and electronic music to show the world their need to express what’s happening in their turbulent countries.

Tracks from IDM jungle, electro, house, techno to experimental music all collide in this compilation, with some of the best talent from Latin America curated by the techno trio from Paraguay, LPZ.

OHM.IO TRACKS

Master Que Sakamoto (SXDNS320) and mysterious NT teamed up again and came up with a couple of outstanding underground gems embedded in their convergent and divergent influences, a chemistry we have seen before issued on vital outlets such as Not An Animal, Throne Of Blood, Wonder Stories, Roam, Ombra International, Playground, WARNING, fabric, HEARec, among others. For their return on the latter, the remixes were under the responsibility of Demian, who delivered not one but two interpretations, and DJ Rally – and guess what? Mission extremely well accomplished. 

Premiered here, the also mysterious DJ Rally’s take on the fat “Daisan No Me Ga Hiraita” matches the stamina of the original but comes wrapped in a less acid and more minimalistic aura with a gripping hypnotic gait triggered by omnipresent synth chords paired with complex elements and speech-like vocals. Kudos!

Mr. Mitch’s Gobstopper Records has long been one of those looked-to labels, giving a platform to UK club sounds that push the envelope. Its latest offering is from Otik, otherwise known as Ashley Thomas, who follows releases on DEXT, Keysound and Nous Disques with ‘Thousand Year Stare’, a four-tracked EP that taps into UK funky, techno and spacious atmospherics. Though now based in London, Otik’s style is informed by his background in Bristol, and there’s a thread of those shadowy bass sounds running throughout his productions. ‘Ghost Mole’, which we’re premiering below, takes a thudding kick drum and wraps a percolating synth line over the top, the result being something with an artful groove. Tune in now.
