DJ Roger Mas
"Another great release from Unicornio which first introduced us to DJ Lengua (an unexpected bestseller on 12"). Here, the Bay Area's Roger Mas introduces us to more South American and Spanish sounds. On "Baila Hihi(1)," Roger places some old school hip-hop drums under a latin track to great effect... digging those Eric B-style sample chops. "Cumbia Bonita(2)" keeps with the traditional rhythm patterns to equal success. Summer BBQ record for sure, recommended."

6. L Pacheco Cumbia Squares Remix
7. Lowrider Mambo
"Killer debut from LA's DJ Lengua, aka visual artist Eamon
Ore-Giron. Lengua's dropped some mixtapes in the past and is well
known at the infamous Club Unicornio nights in the Bay, but this
EP finds him really flexing his skills, foremost of which is the
ability to fuse loops from traditional Latin tunes and cumbias with
chunky, straightforward beats to create seriously infectious tracks. "Cumbia
Squares(1)" ramps up with tasty, dusty drums and circular flute
/ xylophone licks before the repeated "cumbia cumbia cuuumbiiiaa!" chants
and accompanying guitar coda seal the deal; the L Pacheco remix(2)
sticks to the original's blueprint, extending the track for your
mixing pleasure while dubbing things out a bit. There's a little
boom bap, organ stabs and some deep percussive flourishes on the
upbeat "L Dolor(3)" and some just plain lovely stuff in "L
Pacheco(4)," but probably the most immediate track here is the
guitar driven "Mi Camino(5)." Tucked away at the end, don't
skip the 7+ minute bloopy minimal electronic version of "Low
Rider," entitled "Lowrider Mambo(6)." 7 tracks; 30
minutes. Recommended."

Eamon Ore-Giron & Julio Cesar Morales
Dilo EP
"A brilliant little oddity from SF visual artist
Eamon Ore-Giron accompanied by Nortec associate Julio Cesar
Morales. Dilo takes to Perez Prado the way Aphex Twin takes
to insanity. Acknowledging Miami bass, dancehall, smart techno
and splattercore without indulging in formula, "Dilo!" is
one of the most pleasant surprises of the year."
