Barcelona-based label Erizados dropped “Evolción” by
Lowbeat over three years ago, yet here we still are thinking about it. Lowbeat
is the moniker of Quique Sánchez, and he’s dedicated “Evolción” to his son Pau.
This is quite touching – as a father myself, I can only imagine expressing an
artistic dedication to my son in the same way. Instead, he’ll just grow up
knowing that his dad’s a silly old music blogger. Hooray for him.
Ha! Just kidding. Everything’s cool. And everything’s
cool on “Evolción,” a dreamy techno workout that’s as disorientingly propulsive
as it is slathered in earworm hooks. But before you’re like, “Ew, slathered” or
“Ew, earworm hooks,” you should take a listen, because there’s a lot of great
action going on here, and not a whole lot to be grossed out by. Smooth and
vibrant, clear-eyed and buffed to a sheen, “Evolción” skips forward on the
human timeline to a point where butts are always wigglin’ and Barcelona’s the
only cool place to be. Maybe it is already. Who knows?
