Matias Aguayo: The Visitor – review

Veteran guerrilla rave man Matias Aguayo's third album defies definition, writes Kitty Empire
  
  


He is 40 now, but Chilean-born, German-raised guerrilla rave instigator Matias Aguayo is a classic nomad. At home everywhere and nowhere, the techno producer's third album under his own name is The Visitor, a post-digital block party full of computer music whose Latinate rhythms and rolled Rs don't conform to grid or template. Half-sung, half-rapped in Spanish and English, Una Fiesta Diferente illustrates how Aguayo's dancefloor nous can effortlessly give rise to a pop tune. It's bettered by the irrepressibly bobbling El Sucu Tucu, whose nonsense vocals ("Brrak!") just add to the seductive, no-borders feel.
