In 2009, Luciano's Cadenza imprint discovered Chilean electronic artist Felipe Venegas; instantly taken aback by his truly unique South American sound, Felipe was welcomed aboard the cutting-edge label. The EP starts with thundering gong crashes and jangling bells, betraying an almost story-like theme as toms and intense brass melodies converse with one another on the title track. "Orisha Chango" sees Felipe utilize his skills to ignite the dancefloor with a powerful yet sensual Cuban-influenced track. Rich textures bound by ancient depth.

"Felipe Venegas' debut EP comes to you courtesy of Immigrant Records, from Santiago, Chile -- it's loud, it's Latino, and it's certainly not holding back. Felipe studied classical music traditions some years back and we're awfully glad he did. Since his scholarly days, he has ventured into more electronic realms, retaining a rhythmic, percussive feel that we just love. His accomplished live set has found its way onto Chilean line-ups alongside the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano and Tania Vulcano -- expect to see more of this burgeoning talent in the months to come. Felipe's original is reworked by Tuning Spork's Michel Ho. A1 - 'Pa Bailar y Pa Gozar' (Original Mix), or 'Dance and Enjoy' in English. This track means business from the off -- a solemn, thumping beat is put upon by ominously resonant chords and encroaching electronic stabs. Building layer upon layer, it finds itself suddenly building to a chunky, jacking crescendo marked with distorted vocals, celebratory claps and various drum sounds -- the carnival is in town and here to stay, it seems, for the track doesn't give up. Once it has built to its peak, it holds onto the moment right to its conclusion -- perfect peak-time mayhem. A2 - 'Pa Bailar y Pa Gozar' (Michel Ho Remix). Ho dons his carnival gear to lead the mix around a corner and into slightly more subtle territories, adding warmth and a shuffling, chugging rhythm punctuated with stacks of well-placed percussion sounds, jarring electronic melody and even more Chilean vocal action."
