Los Latidos - Workout

  • Breakbeat-heavy acid house by the bassist of !!! (Chk Chk Chk).

  • On his solo EP for Jun Kamoda's label, !!! (Chk Chk Chk) member Rafael Cohen departs from the American dance band's punk-inspired electronics for a much clubbier sound. A feast of acid squelches, breakbeats and house kicks, this 12-inch nevertheless sees Cohen exercise dance floor discretion, favoring texture and a steady pace over big drops. On "Workout," the multi-instrumentalist layers bleeps over jacking beats and billowing acid bubbles for a trippy effect, but the real highlight is a stuttering sequence towards the last two minutes that slows things down just before ending on a whirling, high note.
