Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico but having long since relocated to London,
Hector is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young
producers and DJs on the planet. His breakthrough 12" "La Raza" was released on
Dinky's Horizontal imprint last year and found its way into sets by the likes of
Onur Ozer, Ricardo Villalobos, Dinky and Appleblim. By effortlessly balancing
his will to experiment with a commitment to the founding spirit of house, by
mixing up styles and moods but always focusing firmly on the dance-floors needs
and desires, Hector's sound manages to nod to house musics past while fully
engaging with its future. His DJ sets have energy, precision and soul and his
day-job running one of the world's most renowned record shops - Phonica in
London - has made him and his extensive record collection a popular choice at
clubs such as Fabric, T Bar, Weekend and Watergate. We are excited to welcome
him as the newest addition to the mobilee roster. Those familiar with "La Raza"
might be startled upon first listen of "Got Fringe?," as Hector begins by
trading in a slower house tempo for a thumping kick drum and eschews ping-pong
sounds in favor of bongos and congas. Just when everything appears clear-cut,
the bass is pulled out completely and the high frequencies rise and begin to
lead the way, unveiling that the first few minutes of the track only hinted at
what was to come. As the track moves steadily above water, melodic stabs of
synthesizer join the landscape, maintaining a sense of stability until they are
stretched and twisted into their barest components before fading out completely.
By the end of the track these jabs of melody have fully transformed themselves
into worms wriggling their way through a complex, stomping, vocal-fueled
percussive landscape and it isimmediately clear that Hector has answered his own
question with a resounding "Yes!" "Taking Me for a Ride?" The deconstructions of
traditional house vocals also have their place here.
