- One of Spain's most promising young electronic labels, Arkestra, returns with their second release from Galician producer and occasional vocalist BFlecha. For fans of modern R&B, Spanish pop and nostalgic piano house stabs, the Qvasi Naves EP has plenty on offer.
The title track oozes with liquid funk from the start. In fact it would be difficult to squeeze out more synth juice than the existing twisted and hypnotic R&B spell in the first minute-and-a-half. Cue some piano house stabs and the equally nostalgic "ooh" and "yeah"-ing vocals at the halfway mark to take the track in a more direct direction before returning to the previous slow and hot night groove.
On "Razas Salvajes" BFlecha flexes her vocal prowess on top of racing horns and sharp stabs. "Salacot" takes on some more direct alt-pop references that ends in a half-step calypso sunset of epic vocals and keys, reminding of the rare '80s B-side that you wish you discovered in your parents' collection. Rolling forward another decade or so, label mate Noaipre steamrolls "Salacot" into a vintage garage joint worthy of the genre's better years.
