Illusion from Spirit EP by Elninodiablo

‘Illusion’ is a two-in-one prog weapon aimed at having the dancers wading knee-deep in their own sweat on the face of it - take a muscular bass and sprinkle it with flocks of mischievous darbukkahs, arpeggiated chords and rattling drums - then comes the wildest U- turn you could expect, sure tailored to stir the bottom of your soul and leave your poor heart ransacked... but hey, don’t take anything for granted, back is the bass and lord, does it spank. A lesson in the mastery of sudden programming shifts and shaping of uniquely vivid momentums and narrative arcs, the mirage- like ‘Illusion’ shows off Elninodiablo’s sleight of hand when it comes to creating complex genre-unbound slices of music that bring together the widest array of emotions through single wide-spanning sonic vistas.

el nino diablo’s sound is conceptual and experimental - fusing organic sounds, field recordings, live instrumentation with synths and drum machines. Converging his club and DJing background with meditation techniques, the result is a diverse range - from pieces evoking the vastness of deserts, or the lushness of tropical jungles to tracks that explore emotional landscapes and dream states.
