Falcata by RodMan

After the sentimental success of his debut "La Fragua," Mexican producer RodMan returns with the "Falcata EP," featuring five new productions for Ineffable.

The record's title comes from the name of an ancient sword, which is quite apt as the sharp sound-design & impressive perc work slices through the EP from start to finish. It fluctuates between moods, touching on the deeper, dubbed out & echoed sounds of RodMan's palette, and moving swiftly into complex rhythmic patterns that were definitely built with the club in mind.

The EP always carries layers of analog dub echo at its deepest, and at times, it brings to mind artists like Rhythm & Sound, Vladislav Delay, or Chain Reaction in general. On the other hand, the percussion never gets buried and unfolds in intricate patterns ready for DJs. The rhythms themselves draw influences from contemporary English Techno, African house sub-genres, or even Autechre-inspired IDM on "Falcata."
Finally Octoptic from WVWV delivers a remix of "Falcata" that accentuates the club elements of the original track and overlays them with a beat ready to be played alongside any recent Latin club hit.
