Some time last year I came across Todosantos<\/strong><\/a> from Caracas, and their pean to an indie-year gone by, titled ‘Ian Curtis’ – ripped from their debut album, ‘Aeropuerto’. It was a revelation at the time, given that there was little – if any – truly revolutionary indie music leaking out of the region, but it was a long wait until their next EP finally surfaced. When it landed at the beginning of 2007, it was a remarkable about turn – no longer were their hands held in a dim-lit prayer, instead, they were waving them in the air like they really just didn’t care.
\nClearly influenced by buckets of Kool-Aid, the trio (Alberto Stangarone, Ernesto Pantin, and Mariana Martin) pitched ‘Acid Boys and Acid Girls’ as ‘tukky bass’ – Todosantos’ home-brewed potion that mixed “dubstep, speed garage, baile funk, kuduro, and ghetto-tech”. It’s been given a second release, thanks to the Flamin’ Hotz label, who bring remixers Cousin Cole<\/strong>, Leif<\/strong> and fellow Venezuelans Cardopusher<\/strong> to the table. All the mixes are uniquely intriguing, although Cardopusher’s blend of deep dubstep and rave is particularly forward thinking. The physical release includes a 3D cover (and accompanying glasses) and a DVD featuring seven new videos specially created for this release.
