User_145 “Telling Me”
This is one of those ones where we just had to have it, purely on the basis of the music. There’s an intriguing backstory here: the 1980 label is a London-based nexus for all things Portuguese and electronic, have put out a couple of interesting EPs already, and then apparently got sent this tune by an artist with no identifying details bar a Soundcloud presence. This is all interesting, after all, we’re definitely interested in all things Portuguese and electronic, and we’re definitely interested in mystery artists. But none of that would have been worth a toss, if it weren’t for the fact that the tune is instantly intriguing in its own right. Ambient reggaetón dreampop? Errr, yep, that’ll do us nicely!
