Various Artist EP ‘Collaborations 2’ from Unlock Recordings, featuring tracks from label head Solimano, Bruno De Vincenti, Christian Burkhardt, Barem and Federico Molinari. Gonzalo Solimano first created the Unlock Recordings imprint back in 2004 as a platform to support Latin American productions, and ever since then the Buenos Aires label has played host to the likes of Guti, Jorge Savoretti and Franco Cinelli. The second instalment in the label’s ‘Collaborations’ series, Solimano now invites German producer Christian Burkhardt to join Argentinian talents Bruno De Vincenti, Oslo Records artist Federico Molinari and Fun Records founder Barem for a split release. First up is Solimano & Bruno De Vincenti’s cut ‘Love Nebulae’ which layers infectious percussion with gentle chord sequences and filtered effects. Christian Burkhardt’s ‘Doog’ then cuts in on a deeper and darker tip, with a low-slung bass groove and hypnotic pad sequences. Up next is Barem’s ‘Funk Duck’ with its rolling percussion, staggered synths and a pulsating low end, before Federico Molinari rounds off the package with ‘2.014.2’, blending dubby bass patterns, chopped samples and frantic synth spirals.

Buenos Aires based label Unlock Recordings kicks off 2016 with the first of a three Various Artist vinyl only series: Collaborations, a combination of some of the label’s artists and friends who joined forces to put out some proper underground house and techno music. This first release includes four tracks by argentinian heroes Leonel Castillo, Franco Cinelli, Fosky and Jorge Savoretti (featuring Romanian fellow Paco Wegmann). ‘Vibraphonistix’ is an exquisite peace of music that blends tripness with a refined bass line that makes clear Leonel Castillo’s production abilities and dub influences. Savoretti and Wegmann’s ‘Din Cartier’ heats things up with its super solid groove and modulating synths. Definitely a peak time player. On the flip, Fosky’s ‘Benefits’ is an evolving, climatic techno track that creates the perfect con- text for Franco Cinelli’s ‘Mindout’, a superb late night techno killer track that will cause some serious damage to the dance floor.

Solimano returns to his Unlock Recordings imprint with two mellow house cuts, featuring a pair of imaginative reinterpretations from fellow Argentinean’s Barem and Deep Mariano. Originally established to promote Latin American productions in 2004, Unlock Recordings has since hosted the likes of Jorge Savoretti and Guti. Its founder, Gonzalo Solimano, has proven himself time again as a label owner, DJ and producer, working as a ‘Mr. X’ at Red Bull Academy for almost ten years when not performing at the likes of Creamfields Buenos Aires, South American Music Conference and Space World Tour. ‘Learjet’ is a low-slung groover complete with organic samples, bass guitar licks and a hypnotically looped vocal sample. Up first on remix duties, Minus regular Barem subdues the raw textures of the original to generate an understated rendition, whereas Get Slow founder Deep Mariano takes it down a percussive route where an infectious rhythm is accompanied by dub inspired synths. Finally, ‘Calling Again’ is a sensual deep house cut featuring the vocals of Sophie Taylor, known for her collaboration with Mathias Kaden, among many others.

Argentina has a rich history when it comes to dance music and Gonzalo Solimano is one of the country's finest electronic flag-bearers. With his Unlock Recordings imprint he's created a heavy back-catalogue that the likes of Barem, Guti, Luca M and Daniel Sanchez have all contributed to. After a short break Solimano is back with his 'Factor H' EP and the original mix is a tropical, cow bell laden treat, one that sums up the nation's sound nicely. On remix duty is both Fase and fellow Argentinian maestro Guti. The producer's last full-length was the jazz-inspired 'Rompecorazones' and now a remix LP is set to follow but here we focus on his amazing edit of 'Factor H'. Guti has maintained the percussive elements of the original but added a significant amount of groove and focused on adding in thick kick drums and more drive. It's one you can imagine on the terraces or at 4am in a darkened room and this is why Guti is such a don. Check it.
