♫♪  El Guincho - “Trances”

Starting the new year right with a hectic, get-off-your-ass 25-minute mix of new material, it seems our pal Mr. Pablo Diaz-Reixa finally moved off the beach and into the city. This dude’s been pulling club beats out of his special blend of tropixotica samples since 2008’s Alegranza, only this time around he’s replaced all of those steel drums and auxiliary percussion pieces with some serious trance grooves and heavy bass beats, all the while keeping those hints of Spanish-language samples in tact. Let’s hope this is a sign of more to come this year.
