"Hailing from the midlands of Argentina's Cordoba, Ernesto Ferreyra's musical past is fruitful with many years under his belt as a DJ. Holding down residencies from Mexico City to Montreal, Ernest is no stranger to the mix and makes it very clear on the Éxodo EP. One half of Montreal's Chic Miniature, Ferreyra wields the right combination organic southern hemisphere style percussion with synthesized drums and a volley of monophonic madness that will surely activate the floor. The last 'Shooter' uses mind-bending funk to tell the story of three people ending an epic day/night in a blaze of Jagermeister glory. The most descriptive element of this tracky adventure would be the misguided, off-kilter synth twists that give the listener the illusion of drunkenness and vertigo. Backed with a spine of Latin percussion and tweaked low rez hi-hats this A-side packs a punch that can be only compared to 'the last shooter' of the night. Funk flows on when you flip it to side B. 'Fongtom' rides along with a thick walking bass line that weaves grinds with some of Ferreyra's signature percussion. A playful melody serves as the memory game hook that won't fade away even after a post joint meltdown or a night of MTV Top 40 abuse. Smoother than silk, sweeter than honey, Ernesto Ferreyra's Éxodo shines a new light on the Argentine minimal sound."

Argentinian Ernesto Ferreyra is one half of the critically-acclaimed duo Chic Miniature, and this is his first solo release. Start the evening off with the suave, gently-building groove of "Border Light," throw "Cloody" into the mix when things start to really heat up: its walloping bass, snappy hand percussions, distortion-heavy vocals and raw effects are ideal for getting your freak on. "El Cuento del Tio" is a B-side curve ball best lobbed in the wee hours of the morning. If a Day of the Dead procession invaded a minimal techno party in a deserted industrial warehouse somewhere between Mexico City and Montreal, this is what it might sound like.
