Miguel Toro - El Device



Miguel Toro - El Device
Cadenza
Venezuela's Miguel Toro who is a Berliner these days, is giving us a real Swiss minimal delicatessen with his Cadenza debut.

Stomping bass and a real arrangement is what you get from Miguel Toro, who was born and raised in Caracas. But the music he does is pure Swiss techno rather than the tribal hype we hear all around. A very good desicion, a very proper Cadenza style music, less tribal but more groovy.

"Sissteray" can be named as the tech house side of things and with a little reveb trick beneath and a tribal vocal spice, it is all done perfectly! Miguel Toro is a percussionist so you have to hear his drum and base more carefully. "Quassi" is my favorite in the "El Device" EP which has a stomping bass and a real groove feel which you can smeel with your ears all around the track. This is one of hte best tracks in the Cadenza discography and will be a weapon for the DJs who like their minimal techno to be jazzy, groovy and classy.

We hear plenty of rhodes, pads and good rhythm. The second half of the track is really delicatessen! Also the digital bonus, "Always Late" is on the pipeline of that latino hype but still working very well among all those cheap crap. Good, well defined and groovy music with a drop of creativity and Swiss snow. And Berlin cold maybe!
