felipe gordon: wait on me

Felipe Gordon from Bogota is one of the names right now in the jazz-inflected house and broken beat scene that is growing so much these days. This is second EP on Toy Tonics and it's a step forward for him musically; he started to include more vocals and worked with Colombian vocalist Paula Pedraza. Gordon's music is special; with his background as a Colombian (with that great heritage of musicianship that the country has) and as an indie rock musician (he used to play in bands for years), he has his very own vibe. His tracks have much more groove than lot of the sample-based stuff one can hear currently, and his production style is more variable and musically interesting than lots of other stuff. Check these four new tracks. Especially the second, which adds some freshness to the current disco vibe, bringing in a punk/funk bassline that could have been made in 2005 from disco-not- disco artists like Chicken Lips, Headman, or Playgroup. This is post-90s revival music.
