Matias Aguayo – Minimal

For a single entitled, _Minimal_, Matias Aguayo seems to have mock the idea of what's minimal indeed. Though his "Original Version" starts out with a stark, tribal-tinged rhythm and a few whistles here and there, once his vocals come in, chastising (bilingually), about music's problem with "no groove, no balls." Marcus Rossknecht strips the original version of its extraneous bits for a cleaner sound, but DJ Koze here takes the cake with a disco-inflected version that somewhat demolishes the idea of "minimal" altogether in favor of a funky, full production. Here's a track that's got groove and balls.
