  • Returning to his own label after a three-year hiatus, Matias Aguayo teams up with Medellín-based producer Julianna to create sensual, spacey soundscapes that blur the lines between dub techno and ambient. On "Hiedra," bubbling synth lines and delicate dembow influences circle one another in a dramatic showdown. In the background, a hodgepodge of manipulated whirring and chirping sounds reference both nature and machinery, as if the old and new worlds had combined forces. Informed by the industrial stylings of Coil and the brooding tone of composer Angelo Badalamenti, these mystical creations are begging for a live performance.
