Los Disco Duro's dance floor approved sound re-interprets latin classics with analog synthesizers on a foundation of contemporary Afro-Carribean percussion laced with robot vocoder vocals. Drawing inspiration from 80s electro,and song fabric from key tropical selections, the Oakland group's Sonido Robótico has created an entirely new category that is equally at domestic wherever people dance cumbia as well as in the crates of electro connoisseurs.
Their first release covers a sonidero staple on the A-side and a scarce Colombian guaracha on the flip. Both tunes have been completely reworked, or replacing each big band horn line and accordion riff with ferocious synth leads and unapologetic vocoder vocals reminiscent of Grandmaster Flash's seminal electro record "Scorpio" from the early 80s.
