Chilean duo Francisco Allendes and Marcelo Rosselot were the first producers to release on Cadenza’s sister label, Cadenza Lab, following label boss Luciano’s initial offering. Their 2010 ‘Catrianca’ EP featured a couple of tropical tech house jams that hit the Ibiza dancefloors right in the gut – El Ladron De Mails in particular was a big track for the duo (even Gilles Peterson was a fan of it).

The roots and influences of ‘Peter Veneno’ stretch far and wide, which will no doubt delight Ibiza regulars. There are sleazy jazz trumpet/saxophone moments, big drum sections, funky guitar solos, classical piano breakdowns, and chants from the wings, all powered by electronic loops and bleeps. You could say the track is a modern version of world music, an electronic ode to the joys of jamming, or simply, culturally confused.
The EP’s second track ‘Neo’ is more direct, and works its magic through a series of warped house loops, twisted indecipherable vocals and funky drums that combine to form a new kind of filtered disco. The loops are short and sweet, which keeps the energy high. And the filters are deliberately rough and edgy – like how an overexcited DJ might work some new filters for the first time. Groovy! As the tension builds through a repetitive vocal loop, ‘Neo’ digs its nails in and becomes undeniably exciting. Moodymann fans will surely dig it.
