WIDE Recomienda: #0026
Itās been quite a week for netlabel collabs and independent releases, and WIDE Recomienda brings all of it to you!
1. Mick JenkinsĀ – Understood
With just a few days to go for the release of Pieces of a Man,Ā Mick JenkinsĀ summons old heads and fans alike with the release of a video for “Understood”, featuring a candid portrait of the discipline, shared knowledge and family love of everyday life as he drops bars on the eternal themes of haters, fools and who cominā up da rap game. Oldschool-ish lyrics to the definitely oldschool beats provided by indie darling Kaytranada.
2. Jaymie Silk – Day2Day
Montreal based producerĀ Jaymie Silk just joins Japanās notorious netlabel TREKKIE TRAX for collab album :branch vol 1, featuring a veritable plethora of independent producers and new names. His contribution to the album, Day2Day, is a synth-plentiful 130 BPM banger with an atmosphere that is both mysterious and playful, fit for the ballroom galas the producerās known to love.
3. Santo NiƱo ā One + lofi
And speaking of synth-heavy, hereās a track byĀ Santo NiƱo, a producer from CDMX with an eclectic style and about three years rollinā around. Released on the underground music platform LACRA as the showpiece for his Bailando en la Obscuridad album, it makes for a nice little summary of the latterās styles: pumping kicks, baile-funk beat-boxing and rhythmically playful chords.

4. Discos Pegaos ā Pegamentos Vol. 4
Chilean netlabel Discos Pegaos returns with the fourth installment of their Pegamentos series. As experiemental as ever, the album traverses a soundscape of latin music infused techno, with a diversity of sonic textures delving into the odd and otherworldly. The EP is comprised by the works of long-time label contributors Alpha S, Dementira and AyeAye with Lechuga Zafiro and Sikuri in the manner of special guests.
5. Ernesto Pantin ā L I L I T H
Keeping to the style of his latest solo releases, Venezuelan producerĀ Ernesto Pantin returns with a sweet little album in a back-to-the-classics disco-housey vibe. Gummy synths, electric piano, hissing snares and crunchy claps take you on a short trip to a nostalgic future from the past, if thereās no misreading the Delorean front cover :3
6. Altered Natives ā Where The Roses Grow Remix
Londonās ownĀ Altered Natives was tasked with a remix of Sentinel 793 and Shama Josephās Where the roses grow from their You Could Be You EP, and the result is anything short of amazing: a very nostalgic ā90ish acid house track with a full and dreamy soundscape of oldschoolsy electronic instrument timbres. Kinda reminds you of Pacific State.
