The mighty TraTraTrax returns with another prescient state of the union address, feeling out dancefloor futures with destructive continuum-piercing deployments from 3Phaz, Shapednoise, Lurka, DJ Plead, Luca Durán, coffintexts, De Grandi and loads more.
The Colombian label's already treated us to the best club album of the year (that'd be Lechuga Zafiro's extraordinary 'Desde los oídos de un sapo'), and now we've been handed the third in their ongoing annual series of landscape-defining comps. Like its predecessors, 'no pare sigue sigue 3' muddles innovative local material with similarly broad-minded gear from a cross-section of the world's most vital operatives, breaking some fresh names in the process. And it's Bristol's Lurka who boots things off, with a skittering remix of veteran South African DJ/producer's 'Gas'. This one lays the foundations well, building an iron-clad bunker firmly within the margins of the dancefloor, but letting its musical eye wander, spying frazzled sound design elements and wonked melodies you'd usually find bothering the back room. Staying glued to the West Country for a minute, we're treated to a dembow/amapiano hybrid from Pluralist in the shape of the oxidized '1 2 3 4', before we drop down in Edinburgh with 'Gum Seleks' and its serrated 'Kernkraft 400'-strength lead.
TraTra veteran 3Phaz also looks back to the classics on 'Big Feels', integrating his expected clatter of hand drums and eardrum-bursting kicks with a lysergic insectoid lead that sounds like Cairo's answer to Coki and Benga's 'Night'. DJ Plead links hands with Berlin's Big Ever on 'June', burying granulized string stabs and gravelly hand drums in a slow but urgent crawl of plasticky bass knocks and chiseled kicks, while Shapednoise buddies up with Aussie bassline/rap producer HWLS to dream up the anthology's most grizzled cut, a fittingly untitled car wreck of corroded breaks, industrial scrapes and blown-out 808 booms. Elsewhere, Luca Durán and Ilian Tape duo Atrice lean in to sharp, chrome-plated sonics on the fwd-facing 'Hoasca' and Miami rising star coffintexts builds on Nick León's groundwork with 'Bellaquella', a writhing dembow blotter trotter that dissociates thru wisps of half-heard voices and siren-like synths. Then there's a whirlwind acid roller from Ecuadorian producer Entrañas, peak time snaps from French producer Cardozo and Gipsyan, and Perth's Burna takes us to a tidy conclusion with the squeaky-wheel momentum of 'Selva'.
All killer, no filler, as per.
