i found about david uribe aka dsum's monofonicos netlabel through a mate and back then i just grabbed a few select tracks and that worked in my sets. what i was playing at the time was a lot of deep house where as he played techno on the deeper scale which sorted blended together sonically. but i was still looking atmosphere and groove so i geared for some of the same tracks but i wasn't looking for certain of the other output on the label.
for sergio escobar aka qk's ep "415" i had listened to the track before and i was into "folsom" and the giggs remix of "geary". "valencia" and especially the remix by booiamrudolf was looked past and i understand why, but still not as i was playing sunday brunch tracks that sounded like this. none the less they became the top priority as i grabbed them again about a year ago after my harddrive failed on me.
"valencia" in it's original state is a deep funky broken beat number that later shifts into four on the floor about a third into the track. rodolfo alzate aka booiamrudolf take out a bit of the laidback feel and emphasises the drums and bassline. most of escobar's melodic elements are reduced and azalte only keeps the pads and floaty leadline.
azalte does a quite nice job at tweaking that for a climatic phase in the second half of the track and in general "valencia" is turned into into a bumping club track. the bassline is a driving ordeal even in the broken rhythms that form the track. i quite like how the filters are let loose of it as the leadline is going through a bitcrushing automation. in a breif solo moment there is the first audible signs that the sound of it is an upright bass, always a favourite element of mine. stunning.
