Ladies and gentleman, this is top notch first rate downtempo electronica you're looking at (and make sure that "looking at" turns into "listening to" just about as soon as you can say "peekaboo boca hui!"). Abysoma is a new label from Madrid, Spain, established by renowned Dj, radio host and producer Luis Vaquero, aka Luis Junior or B-Flow, a spectacular artist from Spain, whose second album (after "Atalsina", under his real name) offers you an amazing and gorgeous exploration of crossroads between lounge, chill out, electronica, ambient, downtempo, minimal, IDM and trip-hop. The album is great and intense, beautiful and visionary and possibly one of the most non-American American-sounding downtempo recordings I have heard in a while. The 13 tracks sport different singers and different languages (Czech, French, English, Italian, Spanish) and the art work and photography are nice too (Swiss photographer; in line with the true essence of this international collaboration). Basically an all around winner that you should make yours immediately, because it is one of the best records that came my way recently... If you don't believe me visit their website for audio samples!
