Chicago’s Specter is a maverick, but one who has remained somewhat under the radar. Over the course of twenty years, he’s continually turned out gritty house that manages to be deep yet physical. For the last eight of those he has released on Theo Parrish’s Sound Signature—a suitably unconventional home for his unconventional grooves. Most recently he excelled on his debut full length, Built to Last, which reworked house music into various colourful, experimental and bass heavy new forms. 

As well as rare studio skill, Spectre is a hardworking DJ who can light up a loft or jack a warehouse. On his Dekmantel mix, he decides to serve up a two hour mix that is suited to home listening. It’s all simmering, slow burning deepness to start with before gradually the drums grow more raw and angular. The mood remains reflective and thoughtful, though; a meditation on the more cerebral side of house music, which is just one of the many things Specter does so well.

Released by @mixpak

UK-Colombian producer Florentino releases his second EP for Mixpak, Ilimitado, with 5 dancefloor-ready tracks uniting UK Club music with latin pop and reggaeton. 

Following previous vocal collaborations with @Ms-Niiina and @Badgyalsc on his EP Fragmentos, Ilimitado shows Florentino broadening his scope to link with exciting latinx underground voices from across the world. Brazilian baile funk star @Mcbinladenofficial meets Brazilian born/Barcelona based MC Buzzz on grime-meets-baile anthem “Na Fuga”. Spanish heartthrob @Kaydy_cain drives the emotional “Tu Mirada,” rising reggaetonera @albany-music croons on “Dime Que Tu Quieres,” while “Catastrofe” brings a cumbia shuffle with longing vocals from Honduras-born, Montreal based @isabellalovestory. The EP’s sole instrumental offering, “Latigo” is a characteristically Florentino flavored club banger that unites reggaeton with a 2019 UK Funky flex. 

In the last year Florentino has performed internationally, and collaborated with a broad range of vocalists through his exploration of the Latin diaspora. Those experiences and travels have created a deep, melodic and ebullient collection of songs. There’s explorations of toxic love, heartbreak and melodrama on Ilimitado, all while reminding you you can dance your troubles away. It’s a dance floor telenovela that solidifies Florentino’s reputation as el más romántico de los románticos.
