Last year, José Gonzalez released Local Valley. In her review of the album, Lila Tristram noted how the album beautifully straddled the line between divinity and the cold, blunt knife of reason, adding that the ideas put forward in the album probed the corners of human consciousness while ultimately being an expression of love, peace and unity.
As with the album track Lilla G, Swing also clearly expresses some of González’ Southern American heritage, his musical lineage shining through in his use of percussion-heavy Latin rhythms and gently swung off-beat melodies. For his latest single, Bosnian-German DJ Solomun, head honcho of underground electronic music label Diynamic, gives Swing the remix treatment…tapping into that hypnotic dream state.
