PREMIERE: Alex Aguayo - Velocity (Celestino Remix)[Logia Records]
Alex Aguayo “Velocity” EP
“Drum enthusiasts should love this one. Subtle but wholesome. Anyone who expects it to be a dubstep stop slow fast forward type of a track, well it’s not, even though the name itself suggests so. This is something more of a trick and treat song, fast drum beats, that benefits from a clever use of a different styles of percussion, meaning – live and artificial sounds are mixed together, which is risky, but if done right, pays off. And this is exactly the case.
Every accent, harmony, melody, voice or even noise accommodates each other perfectly and there are no conflicts between them. People behind this project don’t need to put their money where their mouths are, because this piece delivers, without a question. No more, no less. Only the precise amount to fully enjoy this wonderful track. These guys calculated every single detail to make it spectacular from the beginning to the end, so you don’t have to! The only thing you need to do right now is to put on your headset or tune in your stereo equipment and click PLAY!” – Quixotical Music psychoanalyst Vidas Stanynas.
