DJ set I can't ado much about - Dj locks "Mix de tarracho 2014"

The lock has been ripped. A forbidding iron gate now stands ominously open amid equally bleak scenery of leafless trees and formless shadows. It appears that only terror awaits the residents of this terrestrial dimension. Yog-sothoth, and the forces it is home to, now dictates mankind's fate. The occupation has begun once more.

Or perhaps not.

After all, Dj locks is hardly Cthulu. A renown photographer of his own chest he might be - which is not to imply exclusivity in the field - but an evil, elder entity locks is not. Plus, Dj locks has been much too busy for casual reading. To imagine that locks has possessed sufficient time to crack open the Necronomicon is preposterous. Jettison any remaining fantasy where this man is recreating his brand as an electronic mastermind laboring Lovecraftian love-songs.  The truth appears much more plausible and easily half as dismal. But following the release of a recent song (which, technically speaking, is a chronological predecessor) Dj locks did reserve some elements of surprise in his favor.

A turn for the slow has been taken. With the release of "Mix de tarracho 2014" presents a genre morsel of. What follows is minimix, for all intents and purposes, containing a combination of vocal, more kizomba flavored tarrachos and instrumental, beat driven tracks; although the previous is significantly favored. The result is a collection of about five songs featuring the likes of Yudifox and TM Produções. Transitions are seamless, the groove is of acceptable weight, and despite the strong influences of Western popular music, the listener need not strain for traditional sounds. Truthfully, this is not the worse way to spend seven and a half minutes.
