Diggin’ This: Ivan Conti – “Azul” (Max Graef Remix) (Far Out Recordings)

 

Bleep-hop for the beach.

 

Germany’s Max Graef steps up to remix one of Brazil’s finest drummers and one third of Azymuth, Ivan “Mamão” Conti.

 

 

 

Graef’s rework of “Azul” is a casual, low-slung affair, replete with strict beeps, descending keyboard chimes, a jovial bass, and blistered drums.

 

 

Track of the day.
