Various Artists - Mex Revolt

  • Share
  • The heart of Mexico's dance music scene resides in Mexico City. Cobra Voyage, an electronically inclined production company, and one of the capital's key players, expanded its radio, film and events repertoire in 2013 to include a label. For the second release, the focus is on four homegrown producers, with aims to showcase Mexico's emerging techno community. Aside from Pettro, who featured in Boiler Room's Mexico debut late last year, the artists on Mex Revolt keep a low profile. Of the three enigmas, Los Rombos is the most visible (he has a Facebook page). His track "Gris" is a slice of sweet-sounding techno that lays echoed synths and delicate keys across a low-slung drum break. Pettro's "Entities" is harder hitting, channeling the dark, catchy style of Tale Of Us through solid kicks and a menacing synth line. On the flip, Reptare's "Last Snow" is less successful, leaning too heavily on an eerie, and rapidly grating, string loop. The.Ram wraps up the release with "MDO," an earnest cut of groove-centric tech house.
