From Venezuela Aquiles Rengifo (Akilin) dropped this brilliant EP off to me recently. It is an intense mixture of Venezuelan roots music, modern beats, synthesizer love and electronic touches.
Chilean based KONN Recordings released this second EP by Akilin and their wise choice to do so shows me that they are a label that is making their mark in an ever-evolving online music industry. KONN searches for the best from around the globe, though specializing in South American artists, and exposes their work to the world. This is a great time for Global Bass indeed.
I’ve been a fan of Aquiles Rengifo since I first came across his music roughly a year ago. This EP titled “Electro Parranda” truly shows his skills of producing and collaborating with other artists from his lovely country of Venezuela. As I stated above this EP brilliantly mixes Venezuelan roots music with modern sounds. Featuring vocals from Mairene Escalona and Dionis Bahamond, the EP flows in a very interesting way with the aforementioned unique mixture of sounds.
The art deserves special notice as well. It perfectly represents the music on the EP. It was done by artist El Toñito.
