Sacha Robotti, Look Like – Loca Lola [dirtybird]
Two bass-heavy and groovy tech house tracks have been released on VonStroke’s dirtybird label and both are worth your ear. The sound itself is very unique. Featuring bass/synth combos as the main element to each track, the groove itself is very bouncy and minimalistic. The space left between the various notes is what makes these tracks so refreshing which allows the listener to focus more on the intricacies of the layered synths. While the drum beat drives each track forward, the bass and synths give the track a small amount of flavor to keep the listener’s attention. The synths themselves are very well produced featuring very tight action and a new-age grungy sound that’s almost reminiscent of an electro house chainsaw. However, the reason I am referring to both of these tracks at the same time, is they are not all that different and can be analyzed in a similar way. That’s not to say this is necessarily a bad thing because this is a small release, but you should expect to get more of the same (or similar) after the first track. Definitely give this EP a listen as the sound these guys have is great.
