The collaboration series between Melting Records and Beats & Culture has gone tropical. Of course, it's a downtempo and trip hop twist on tropical vibes, and one that continues the label's fascination with global sound fusions. Volume 4 in the series brings together Argentinians Prisma & Martin Boder and the Netherlands-based DJ duo Umoja for a double A-side experience in exotic beatology on deep red vinyl.

Prisma & Martin Boder's "Turbina de Amor" sets the party off with a punchy, percussive melody and cool rhythmic flourishes. An angelic vocal floats above the strutting musical foundation, hinting at midnight seaside mischief. Flip the wax for Umoja, whose "Rabia" continues this infectious flavor. A steady bassline purr drives this cut as harps flutter around the stereo field, a Spanish-tinged guitar transmits riffs, and a disembodied vocal adds a dream-like quality. These tracks are top notch, ready for discovery by daring sonic explorers everywhere.
