Calicanto EP by Badelll
Calicanto EP combines sampling and computer music techniques with the aim of creating a cinematic-dance experience.
It is an exploration of blending samples, drum patterns, and acoustic instruments with a playful approach. Through this journey, a DJ shapes the music that he wants to communicate using modern recording and editing techniques.
The EP's name is a grateful response to a rich diversity of sounds from growing up in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Overall, Calicanto symbolizes the fusion of diverse elements and cultures.
