Portugal/London’s Padre Himalaya turns out an ace, multiplexed EP of pop edits, hip hop breaks, and ghetto house from Silvestre
Making his 2nd run on Padre Himalaya after a pair of 12”s with Tokyo’s Diskotopia, Silvestre diversifies his bonds in unexpected ways, swaggering from sawn-off hip hop to a rude and woozy early ‘90s breakbeat edit of t.A.T.u, and breezy Skam-style hip hop on the A-side, before switching up to a banging, rugged ghetto house swang and sped-up, NYC-style ‘90s reggaeton-hip hop for good measure.
