Various Artists - 5 Years Of Danza Nativa
I want to congratulate the Danza Native label for five years of operation. It is no small feat making it even past the year in the modern music landscape. Even capturing audiences' attention can be a hard-fought battle, let alone persisting for five years. For those of you already aware of Danza Nativa, you'll be familiar with that uncompromising sound. The label, birthed out of Buenos Aires, has been pumping out uncompromising electronica under the careful watch of its three founders, Alderaan, Forest On Stasys and Kyntral. The trio pool their efforts into bringing the deep hypnotic and tribal side of techno to light, carving out an ear-catching and texturally rich aesthetic.
The album 5 Years Of Danza Nativa (2024)' is a testament to the label's success, featuring a compilation of the most respected artists in the deep techno scene and local talents. It's a journey that takes you through the chilling electrical pulses of Amandra's 'Drakona', a track that seems to absorb negative impulses from the earth itself. Dino Sabattini's 'Danza Tribale' is a low, marauding journey through a spiritual trip, plunging into an unwaveringly deep pool.
When artists like Luigi Tozzi step up with an incredible knack for bringing an unconventional sound to a project, Tozzi's effort, 'Kamayuk', is deep with rumbling bases and delicate shakers enveloped by huge opaque pads. It's comforting to know that when the label heads step up, in this case, Forest on Stays, they bring the noise. 'Mantis' is an experimental wonderland full of esoteric instrumentation that transports you into the deep heart of a jungle. Alderaan explores the dark reaches of space, narrating the night sky in a language unknown to most. Danza Nativa has delivered an incredible compilation that genuinely celebrates their five years. Here's to many more!
