Reviews & Discussion
referencing Batucada, CD, Maxi, TWDM-55554
A surprizing release on the Twisted Label, usually into hard/circuit House. "Batucada", a well known Latin anthem, is handled here by Spiller (his second release after the hypnotic "Spiller From Rio" under the name "Laguna"). On the artistic side, the art used for the sleeve reminds me a lot the covers of some Deee-Lite releases in the 90's (made by penciller Michael Economy). On the music side, all the mixes are working very well. The Elusive Samba mixes are retro flavoured, with lots of percussions. The BMR Ruffclub is more on the House tip, courtesy of Boris Dlugosch and Michi Lange. The melody and vocals are re-arranged in a inventive way. The Sounds Of Life remix is more like a dub, reconstructed with catchy Disco samples. A fun driven, beach record "Batucada" is. Don't forget your towels and sunglasses!
