Weekly mp3 #19: Matias Aguayo - Minimal (DJ Koze Radio Edit)

Good time party tune! Another one from RCRDLBL ... I admit the site kinda makes me throw up a little each time I look at the coolness on display. Found some good tunes there, regardless.

First up, it's yacht disco. Don't be mislead by the title, the tune is a diss of "minimal", i.e. minimal techno. Matias Aguayo sounds more assured than I'm used to - somehow less annoying than I usually find him - and Koze's remix does big nods to 80s Ballearic stuff (um, Chris Rea, dare I say it?). Mudd or Phoenix would be fair reference points for contemporary stuff. The vox mix up Spanish "mas sensual, indeed) and English to add to the Mediterranean party feel.

Matias Aguayo is a producer and singer signed to über-chic German techno label Kompakt. He was in Closer Musik and did another solo album for Kompakt too. Koze's also released some insane stuff for Kompakt. I like him a lot more than Aguayo usually, but the combination works awesomely, I reckon.
