Mondo Ritmo (Vinyl 12")
Invisible Inc's latest compilation EP, Mondo Ritmo, is a rhythmic exploration that spans the globe, featuring diverse influences from Latin and Afro to dub, dancehall, and acid. Building on the momentum of last year's Mondo Organico, this release places a strong emphasis on percussion and rhythm, making it a compelling addition to the label's catalog. The EP kicks off with 'Cabasa Loca' by Mytron & Balam, a track that's already proven its dancefloor prowess, with label head GK Machine spinning it regularly at his Wrong Party nights. Tom Chasteen's 'Wicked Can't Run,' a house and dancehall fusion, also stands out, featuring Jamaican legend U Brown and mixed by the iconic David Harrow. While the remaining tracks might not be peak-time anthems, they offer something for the more adventurous listener. Thomass Jackson, Thomash, and GATS, as Changa Boys, deliver a rich percussive experience with Senegalese drummer Ndiaxo dal Jaam, while Congo Caveman assists on the mysterious Machine's contribution. Mondo Ritmo is a vibrant, eclectic compilation that promises to captivate both seasoned dancers and rhythm enthusiasts alike.
