La Guardia De La Luz is the brainchild of Mexican producer Santiago Rionda which he tells us was "created as a vehicle to explore metaphysical topics in a simple, primitive and emotional house sound". This is his first EP and what a debut!
Resonate starts off raw, deep and moody with stringy synths and a trippy spoken word vocal. The swing takes on on a garage edge with a nod to Moodyman before breaking to a piano halfway to give it an NYC flavour.
La Luz Visible is a deep and trippy cut that builds steadily with a drone and minimal drums before the bass comes in at 2.30 and it shifts up a gear. As the track develops the droning synth grows with keys and analogue lead lines and the result is psychedelic house music at its best.
House Metafísico drops the BPMs and keeps the psychedelia but this time takes things in a more balearic direction. A constant synth line keeps building and filtering with percussion coming in and out plus tinkling keys. This isn't instant dance music but house that weaves its hypnotic spell and rewards over the long listen.
