Alex Zelenka’s Latex EP (Zuvuya)
Zillablog
With this release, Zuvuya welcomes fellow Chicagoan Alex Zelenka, a production veteran with releases on Prosthetic Pressings, Kompute Musik, Fresca Recordings, and The Source. This is Zelenka’s first release for Zuvuya, and it includes two stellar remixes--one from Monologic and another from Gabriel Palomo and SanFaçon of Kill Memory Crash. The EP also features a solo original track from Monologic.
"Latex" is anthem-style techno fueled by synths and a bouncing bassline. Simple percussivie elements add to the female vocal samples layered onto the track. Monologic’s remix makes the effort grittier, with a cleaner kickdrum and faster tempo.
Kill Memory Crash bandmates Gabriel Palomo and Alex Sanfaçon turn the tune into a frenetic blend of electro and techno with industrial undertones.
Monologic’s original tune is called "Sicko," and is the sort of track one plays during a mix’s peak, driven by forceful percussion, mechanized samples, and staccato synths. Fills and breakbeats add to the rhythmic fervor of the tune, with echoing vocal samples by Monologic’s Lee Chameleon.
