WIDE Recomienda: #0029
This week WIDE Recommends brings you the results of an intense cavity search in the depths of Soundcloud and a couple videos on flowers and lesbic romance, hooray!
1. Dinamarca – Solo
It’s been a couple of days since Christian Dinamarca, a chilean producer based in Sweden, released his Emotional Dance Music EP, adding to the catalog of his record label, STAYCORE117. With a sound standing indecisively between afro-caribbean rhythms, trap nudges and classical european harmony, Solo is a fitting sample of this nice little EP fixin’ to play a little colonization on unsuspecting nordic ears.
2. INTENTIONALLYCOLD – MY CUP RUNNETH OVER
It’s like hearing a piano in a spacious and well furnished room from behind a shut door, which is joined by drums passed through a Boss Metal Zone on a loudspeaker. Suddenly, a disheveled dude with insomnia eyes in winter clothes comes up the stairs and through the door and sings “I can’t love you this much, I can’t love you this much”, to exit the room immediately and smoke a cigarette until he’s on cue again. That’s kinda what the sound design sounds like on INTENTIONALLYCOLD’s last single.
3. THRD – Reloaded V1
Dembow. Lots of dembow. More dembow. Intoxicated synthesizers. Samples from every rap, reggaetón and rap bar ever. V. 1 is a great sonic collage, an album made from selected slices coming from here and there. Prime cuts, if they suit your palate. It looks like THRD intended to compose the OST for his own snazzy-dressing-gangsters-on-Lambos-under-the-sun-of-L. A. flick, though, honestly, that concept is far from novel.

4. LAO – TEJIDO FLEXIBLE (DUB MIX)
And again, a track for the screenplay: here’s the right for the suspense before the fight, to be held preferably at a club made of mirrors and ultraviolet light revealing. Besides a frantic hi-hat and a sleepy 808 kick, LAO seems to have skipped the beat on this one, creating an unbearable tension, as to pull the ground below everyone’s feet before lighting the dancefloor on fyyyyyah.
5. Alpines – Full Bloom
Traversing the territories of R&B, chillwave and hypnagogic pop comes Alpines, with the video clip for their third album eponymous track: flowers and the VHS filter that’s been infecting pop music since the Vaporwave epidemic. An ultra-smooth track like a slim pack of cigarettes and a pink sunrise at the beach, with the buttcheeks suitably placed on the hood of a red convertible, as Mitch Buchannon emerges from the depths wearing a red speedo and covered in seaweed to devour the entirety of the human race.
6. Relo – Kimbia (Joni Forest remix)
Joni Forest’s back again joining Chile’s Regional Label on a remix compilation of Relo’s EP Lunas de Júpiter album from last year. With a little BPM magic, he’s managed to heat it up to ‘hyperactive’ bringing an already experimental track to an entirely different plane of feels.
Bonus track:
7. The Japanese House – Lilo
This track is Amber Bain’s way of treating that serenity and appeasing that comes with those lovers who arrive with perfect timing. Nevertheless, the results are devastating. Don’t watch this if you ain’t over your ex.
