Producer Spotlight: Finland’s Roberto Rodriguez

 

I’mma continue on my Scandinavia kick, as so much incredible music is coming from the Nordic countries these years. Roberto Rodriguez aka Manolo (pioneer of projects such as Future Beat Investigator, Track n Field, and Acid Kings) brings Spanish roots to Finland, where he’s been a producer of deep house music since the 90s. His gorgeous, lush sound in original tracks and remixes bespeaks a fine educated musician working in the deep house medium, and have become some of my most delirious sounds of the recent decade. Here’s a sample of some of my recent favorites.

Alien Alien – “Sambaca” Remixes

Alien Alien’s “Sambaca” was a queer revelation when it came out months ago–crazy genderfuck Italians evoking gritty European club and street scenes. New remixes out now…including these by DJ Athome & Klaus and Fabrizio Mammarella.
