JAZZ N PALMS - Tormenta Tropical

Jazz N Palms is an elusive entity – are they a label, collective of DJs, or just one person: the producer Riccio? Whatever the case, they’ve got something of a rep for passionately mixing jazz and tropical music. Known for their regular parties at Pikes Ibiza (a classic spot – don’t miss a visit if you go), their M.O. is to spin records only from an extensive collection of rare and exotic waxen slab vaults. Their EP ‘Tormenta Tropical’ here amounts as much to a tribute to this beloved music: Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms unfurl across just two neat cuts, as they’re peppered by incredible guitar solos and bass propulsions. The essence of a tropical storm is thus caught in a sonic ester.
