Restrospective EP – Alfredo Mena [Bonzai Basiks]

Venezuelan born DJ and producer Alfredo Mena debuts on BB with this stunning two tracker entitled “Retrospective EP”. Alfredo began his DJ career when he was just 15 years old with his mobile disco around the Caracas area and he quickly became one of the most popular DJ’s around. His travels have taken him to New York and Chicago where he has played alongside the like of Tiesto, Dubfire and Mauro Piccotto. He has also released on the top labels such as Baroque and Viva Music with lots more to come. First up we have “Pervert”, a real smooth slice of techno filled with a vast array of FX and percussions. The groove is solid and the arrangement gives off a steady rhythm, a very subtle deep bass binds this track together while on the short break we get a cool vocal sample. The FX and percussions play a massive role here and they work so well. “In The Suburbs” is up next, another fine techno cut with a slight tribal element given off by the distant sounding drums. This track builds brilliantly with Alfredo showing off his skills on the FX and heavily used percussions. Much more upbeat vibe here as the track gathers pace with a little help from some erotic vocal samples. This is one top notch track that will gain a lot of attention for sure.
