Paco Osuna
Amigos
PLUS8115

A spiral of evolving and heady, sample-laden tracks unfurl on Paco Osuna?s latest EP, a richly produced melding of continent-spanning talent, with Paco partnering up in the studio with real-life amigos Daniel Sanchez, Alex Under, Joseph Capriati and Alexi Delano. The Amigos EP presents driven, moving grooves with satiating build ups, over densely-layered samples and drums. Osuna?s seasoned skill-sets in the DJ booth and as a producer come together knowingly in this release.

Osuna and his Dutch/Spanish counterpart Daniel Sanchez combine melodic and percussive samples in Kawuriel, whilst with Madrid?s Alex Under as his cohort, Osuna transfixes with WaAaA - featuring a distinctive pitch shifting sound throughout its phasing. Your understanding of its unusual name will become abundantly clear upon the first listen.

Also notable is Wope, which contains woodblock-esque percussion samples that compliment the rolling bass, co-produced with Italian musician Joseph Capriati. The EP?s finale, Waxfix, is a combination of the talents of Osuna and Sweden?s Alexi Delano, resulting in another cleverly- derived arrangement of steady bass drums and strong high hats. It?s a well-locked and smoothly syncopated, loop-based groove.
