SE?OR COCONUT - "Electrolatino" Ep on Multicolor
Recordings, features two remixes by DJ Ruben Rodriguez
and Ricardo Villalobos. Released Date: September 27th.
The Fiesta continues. Those who believe, that Se?or
Coconut (a.k.a. atom?) ? after having toured
successfully through Europe ? rests on his concept,
now polishing his golden Maracas, are wrong. The
master is on no account to be reduced to the ideas of
his LP "El Baile Alem?n" (Martin Gore/Depeche Mode:
"Kraftwerk songs done in a Latin style. It makes me
smile."). His debut album "El Gran Baile" (Rather
Interesting / multiColor) had already demonstrated
that the Latino-rogue has complete command of the
great variety of South American traditional music,
being able to embed them flexibly and exactly matching
into a modern electronic environment. And vice versa.
The pioneer of a new, exciting genre within an
international musical universe is proving continuity,
not leaving a chance to a short-lived hype. Se?or
Coconut has established the hotbed of a new musical
community and gathered an increasing group of
followers around ? fans, press, musical imitators of
high quality:
Pete Tong of 'Radio One' is one of his most
enthusiastic fans, maintaining the Coconut-wave in UK
via heavy rotation, which has got under way after
three celebrated London shows by the band at David
Bowie's 'Meltdown Festival'. A concert at the
'Creamfield Festival' (24th of August 02) is to
follow.
The combo has also presented three shows in Mexico in
March 2002. There they convinced the audience of the
big musical fusion as well ? the continents of Europe
and Central/South America have merged to a gigantic
terrain of effusive joy of life.
The latest release of Se?or Coconut has been a
Rhumba/Mambo/Cha Cha Cha transformation (with
integrated airplay) of the chartbreaking Air single
"Radio #1", coming across as uniquely passionate as if
the French original never would have existed. A new
Coconut-album is to be expected in spring 2003!
The title of his new 12", independently produced from
"El Baile Alem?n", is programmatical again:
"Electrolatino", boiling Salsa, is flowing like lava
in the veins of all people addicted to motion and
feels like Electro and Acid have always been natural
components of all popular Latino dance forms. Ritmo
Loco?
Ruben Rodriguez, star DJ of the Latino club szene from
San Juan (capital of Puerto Rico), responsible for
numerous top-10 productions (mainy with his
Techno-Merengue band Los Crazy People's) on the other
hand eats his fill of European dance music traditions:
he lets Salsa evaporate except the congas, strips the
song down to its Electro frame and sinks the Brothers'
Vibe on the Disco floor into an Acid bath, as if this
just has been invented.
The nature of the tool plays a central part in the
"Lecktro Cari?o rmx" by Ricardo Villalobos. He
dissects the elements vocals, brass and congas,
stretches the center part sensitively, by means of an
exotic bassline to pacific expanse and creates a
typical opus for the extra-long trip to his own,
boundless continent. Dig it!
