DMC UPDATE
Reviewed 13/5/09
Mexican-Peruvian-Colombian duo Monopolar – coming from respective techno and avant-jazz backgrounds – enjoy an online production relationship with Mono DJing in Bogota and Polar based in Mexico City [achoo!] and Berlin, both intent on highlighting their Latin American musical heritage. ‘La Bouche’ is a deep, swirling Latin-tech-house groover laced with electronic grumbles and heaving organ. Their ‘L’Autre Bouche’ strips down to a slow-burning hypno-throb while the mix by Nicone – Berlin’s Alexander Gerlach and Sascha Braemer – take the dismembodied minimal route. Unusual and electric.

“Got the track! Very good”.
WILL KINSELLA
CEOLTRONIC RADIO / CEOL EIRE – RTE PULSE (IRELAND)
“Nice fusion of Latin soul with deep glitchy weirdness here. Straight into my show for tonight”.
ANDRO
THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT / NAIVE MELODY
“The Monopolar ‘L’autre Bouche’ & rework are both nice. The original is nice and heavy and will work well nicely on the floor – very mechanical and noisy production on this, and the rework is a good dubby rework of the track. I will play and support this”.
CHRIS FINKE
ATOMIC JAM / FLUX / THE DROP
“Love the original mix of this and will be playing it lots. Great hook.”

“I have been playing the Monopolar rework mix of ‘L’Autre Bouche’. Really like it, proper depth to it and sounds ace when it’s loud! “

“I like this. I’ll be playing the Monopolar at my gigs over the next few weeks too.”
DISASTRONAUT / AUDIO SUSHI
“I really love it. I’m finding the afrolatino sound is one of the emerging sounds of this summer and this record is heard by us as a very inventive and creative take [or is it hybrid?] of afro latin tech house but with instant dancefloor appeal – so it works on both directional and commercial floors and is extremely immediate record – as it has pushed a very beauitful soundscape into what sometimes is quite a boring tech-driven field. The production is excellent and we’re featuring it in our radio and club sets, also in the next few weeks on our [non-downloadable] urban junkies playlist of the sounds of summer. I will chart this next week in top 5.”
