cuartero: rame

Spanish producer Rafael Cuartero Lopez has been whipping up a storm for the past 10 years via labels like Viva, Desolat, Saved and Hot Creations, and now he lands on Constant Black with a clutch of finely honed, peak time tech house thumpers. There's a militant urgency to these tracks, which lean in hard on the drums and fill out the space in between with wriggling, writhing threads of electronic interference. If you're after melodic hooks look elsewhere, this is raw, tracky tackle for the heads down, all-night crowd.
