Del Fuego

Slowly building, soul-soothing, and disco-fuelled house with a nod to both the great masters from Chicago and the new electronic breed.

Lisbon producer and Lux resident Ramboiage likes to take it slow to take things further. "Del Fuego" kicks off modestly with a simple beat and some light percussion, creating and eerie mood. But then some tasty, disco–fuelled heavy house kicks in, and the tune starts to roll unstoppable, riding on a horn hook. Funky like a train, as the mighty Equals would say. Spanish Om Records darling Al Velilla steps up the pace a little bit and lets the original float over some tasty discohouse beats and eighties-flavoured synths.

On the flip, Ramboiage pays tribute to his hometown with a slightly melancholic, softly swaying house track in the vein of old Chicago masters like Mr. Fingers. "83, 84", then, is another slow and atmospheric burner closing a wonderful, soul-soothing ride.
