Sporting updated, sexy New-York style mash-ups of defining moments in the evolution of house and techno, "GU33: RIO" is uniquely styled in electro-dance's equivalent of retro chic. With steady pumping bass lines, innovative percussive ticks and taps ranging from tribal to techno, and samplings transcending both era and genre, "GU33: RIO" floats enigmatically above the limitations of classification: compelling, bizarre, delicious, obscure, and sizzling with tropical heat.
Such is the experience of listening to the newest album of world-renowned techno duo Layo and Bushwacka!, two of the few DJs who have the savvy to successfully mix Caribbean beats, Japanese synth-tricks and the what could be the soundtrack to the Mario Brothers. Variety is the name of the game in Layo and Bushwacka!'s newest contribution to the Global Underground's series captures the erotic swing of Brazil's beaches.
Layo and Bushwacka! live up to their world-renowned reputation for infusing their sound with signature wicked eclecticism including blues, acid rock, film soundtracks and classical symphonies, keeping this eclectic musical pastiche colorful with bright bursts of trumpets and tropical percussion, and thumping beats in hip-twisting synchronicity.
Despite Layo and Buskwacka!'s encyclopedic range of influences and musical flavors, "GU33: RIO" stays true to the duo's origins, offering warehouse party grooves with a harsh industrial cut softened by mod lip-licking whispers and sexy whirling jazz undertones that invite you to nod your head and swing your hips rather than simply pump your fists.
