Main Stage - Live at Laneway Festival, Sydney
El Guincho
XL/Young Turks, Barcelona
Tropical loop bandit El Guicho brings sunshine and carnival vibes to any floor that drops his hypnotic versions and visions of hi-life, cumbia, Tropicalia, and dub. Spaced-out parrots certainly get down to this, as the Guinch weaves together Spanish chants, tribal thuds, and sweet harmonies that end up sounding like a club gnawa for our times. El Guincho is no stranger to rain forest reveries as part of the group CocoNot, but it's really since his album 'Alegranza!' on Discoteca Oceano last year, that El Guincho's mix of edits and sample trickery has snowballed into a global phenomenon. Guincho's tracks might hold clubbers aloft like thermals to seagulls, but it's the deceptively complex rhythm tracks, as simple as playground nursery rhymes, that hold the key to el guincho's true magic.
