Released in October last year on the rising & shining Buenos Aires/Madrid-based label Modula, the bold and well-received ten-original album “Yar” by Argentinian duo Voltage Controlled Illusion – V.C.I. for short – is now back with an interesting collection of remixes. On board, talents from many different corners of this doomed and cursed little blue dot we live on: Álvaro Cabana (RASTROLIVE003), Playa del Karma, Tucu (Tucu), Cosmosolar, Vleks, Ricardo Ruben (SXDNS103), Perrone, Prinze, Gueva (SXDNS292), and Mistery Kid (SXDNS398) held no punches and delivered insightful interpretations, resulting in a colourful and kaleidoscopical parcel.

If last year we had the opportunity to review the frenzied “Cursed”, we now give a go on the bossy rework cooked by Ricardo Ruben, one of the most prominent South American artists of his generation. After solid appearances on Playground, Controlla, Rotten City Files, Phisica, Side Up Works, Emerald & Doreen, and Bonkers, just to name a few, Ricardo debuts on Modula with a punchy interpretation of “Escandalo”. The plethora of acid of the original is still there, but now with the company of absurd percussive elements plus beautiful synth leads and layers that deliver a certain psychedelia to the theme.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.

Follow V.C.I., Ricardo Ruben and Modula, peeps!
