- The Lisbon sound meets downcast dungeon synth.
- From Lisbon label Golden Mist comes a new EP from DJ Txikula that should appeal to fans of DJ Lycox or DJ Danifox, with melancholy, lilting beats that fold in influences from genres like kizomba and tarraxo. "Meus Tropas" is an easy highlight, underlining the EP's fibreglass textures and thick, plasticine leads. The drums are featherweight and hollow, while the keyboard leads are heavy and draping, with a regal quality that reminds me of dungeon synth. It's a stunning combination that hints at further evolution for the Lisbon batida sound, pushing it into newer, sadder realms.
