Uruguayan producer Loopez returns for the new year with his latest effort, the six-track mini LP Moor. Or more accurately, MooR, with a capital ‘R’. You might be forgiven for thinking with a name like, ‘Moor’ (and with Loopez’s past production history) that this would be all about North African-influenced breaks or something. But you’d be wrong. It’s a collection of tracks (he says) which

VARIOUS: Hiperbole Jamboree 2012: Go Jazz Not Ape (2013)
If you’ve ever rolled into bed in the small hours after a heavy night out and then been woken ‘early doors’ by someone under the age of five you’ll have some idea of how I was feeling yesterday and, frankly, today as well to some extent.

Nope – none of the above – though debut single El Loco/ Boogaloo Tormenta is a bit exotic. Yep, it’s all uptempo b-boy breaks and South American musical stylings – kind of like Renegades Of Jazz on a latin jazz tip. But then maybe that’s because this is

LOOPEZ: ‘Lost Tape 1’ free download (2012) + ‘Free’ LP news
Rating: 
Following his EP collabo with the excellent Renegades Of Jazz, Uruguayan Loopez sees the Greeks their sampled latin breaks and raises them some original latin fire with Lost Tape 1. Imagine a latin breaks version of S.O.U.L.’s Burning Spear with trumpet (courtesy of Gaston Ackerman)
