Hailing from Cuernavaca, Mexico, Mario D. Quiroz crafts a hypnotic journey with his “Barranca” EP, blending World Music’s organic textures with the pulse of Indie Dance and Melodic House & Techno. The two original tracks, “Ensalmo” (a nod to incantations) and “Ceiba” (named after the sacred tree of Mesoamerican lore), weave a narrative of nocturnal mysticism, where rhythm and melody mimic the untamed whispers of nature. Quiroz’s productions thrive in duality: “Ensalmo” unfolds with ritualistic percussion and spiraling harmonies, while “Ceiba” balances earthy grooves with celestial synthwork. Together, they create an immersive atmosphere, equally suited for DJ sets or live performance, that feels like a trek through moonlit wilderness.

Argentine artist Ruidoso reinterprets the EP’s essence with a remix steeped in depth and motion. Layering resonant synths over a robust, groove-driven foundation, he amplifies the original’s mystical quality while introducing his own signature – warm, dub-tinged pads and intricate percussive details. The result is a version that honours Quiroz’s vision while carving its own path, perfect for late-night transitions or sunrise moments. Barranca is a testament to Logia Records’ ear for artists who merge cultural roots with club-ready innovation, leaving listeners spellbound.
