Guti launches his new El Nuevo Sonido Latino imprint in January 2024 with ‘You Only Live Once,’ that includes three originals from the Argentinian master.
Over the years, Guti has become synonymous with a groove-driven house whilst creating his own sound and has taken his live set to many major clubs and festivals around the world while his material has featured on many revered labels such as Universal Music, Crosstown Rebels, Cadenza, Desolat, Defected, Cuttin’ Headz, Djebali, raum…musik, and more. Now after more than a decade and a half Guti draws from his roots playing instruments and in bands to offer up the new label, El Nuevo Sonido Latino, which translates as ‘the new Latin sound.’ The aim is to release some of the music he makes every day, the collaborative jams he hosts at home and to bring a different perspective to global dance floors through avant-garde and free jazz influences being integrated with electronic music.
Title-track ‘You Only Live Once’ opens the release and sees Guti lay down jazzy keys, intricately intertwined vocal lines, a funk-infused bass groove and dynamic, organic rhythms. ‘Vacilon’ follows next and retains a similar groovy aesthetic, the “mutant jam” fuses funky moog bass licks, weighty sub bass swells and playful vocal samples in combination with Guti’s signature latin percussion fuelled drum style.
‘Your Love Makes Me Very High’ then rounds out the release in a deeper tip, described by Guti as a ‘’futuristic love letter’’ the composition merges airy, ethereal pads and resonant synth melodies with a jazz leaning rhythmic foundation and modulating bass tones.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Vacilon’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
