Italoboyz - Portucais



Italoboyz - Portucais
Trapez Limited
Mighty Italoboyz make their debut from Trapez Limited with a very straight forward minimal experimentalism full of sampling and micro level sound craftmanship.


We now know that these guys love playing with old movie samples and animal voices or any kind of sound source they are interested in. Their problem solving philosophy evolves under the realization of never ending sound collage experimentalisms. Regardingly, their Trapez Limited debut "Portcais" has a track on the B side called "Body & Soul" which sounds like it will never end and last forever. Yeah even longer than Ricardo Villalobos style.

They are very fond of samples and weird voices. Afrogenic treats these voices as a tribal celebration and turns the track into a minimal tribal feist. Really serious beat programming and production effort. But the name track, in fact a DJ tool, "Portucais" is the real gem on the EP. Italian talking turns into something really hysteric.

We did not forget the side effects of their track "Viktor Cassanova". Minimal will never be as it was after Italoboyz. This is saying something serious but I am usually saying serious stuff here.
Again, they will give damage to the dance floors with their second episode, pleasingly a debut from Trapez Limited and I bet will not be the last one!
