Ondas Horizontales Remixes One Review @ Ban Ban Ton Ton
NuNorthern Soul have asked a few friends to remix tracks from Tambores En Benirras’ 2023 LP, Ondas Horizontales. The first part of a trilogy, which will include 12 reworks in total, the EP opens with Ruf Dug re-imagining Mi Sueno Vive En Reverb. The mercurial Mancunian wonderfully weaving layers of birdsong, fragile fretwork, sparkling synths and hushed, human sighs over a gently lapping conga tide. This computerised counterpoint occasionally erupting with sonic colour, like time-lapse shots of summer in bloom.
Simon Sheldon’s shake of Un Placer Celestial is similarly chilled. Perhaps even more so. Putting its emphasis on echoed, ethereal exclamations, a little zither-like zing and spiralling desk effects. Its beats, slow but big, dubbed, delayed. Shivering, shuddering, summoning, in the same way The Cure’s Lullaby did, a sense of a, post-rush, MDMA hit.
