Mar 2010

Global Underground are proud to present the third instalment of the spin off DJ Series, curated by Spanish music maestro Wally Lopez. Hot on the heels of the widely acclaimed releases by Nic Fanciulli & The Plump DJs, this is Wally's first mix compilation for the label, and a fierce one at that.

Over the last 20 years Wally has built himself into Spain's foremost international DJ. He's played with Madonna; co-headlines a residency @ Space Ibiza; become an ambassador for HIV/AIDS awareness charity Dance4Life; released on some of the top house labels such as Defected, Subliminal, Yoshitoshi and Underwater. All whilst running his own successful record label Factomia & clothing line Tremenda Wear.

CD1 kicks off with an electroid reworking of a funky techno Misstress Barbara track before dropping down into the atmospheric, post-minimal Stimming mix of Robert Babicz's 'Come Closer'. As Wally locks into a chuggy groove, the mix takes in funky tribalisms, percussive feasts, widescreen journeying and even a tinge of sexy Latin. Wally's not afraid to chuck the odd vocal anthem in the mix either, while on CD2 he goes a little deeper before flexing out the flow towards the finish.
Global Underground's impact over the last 2 decades has been phenomenal. Synonymous with some of the most collectable and revered compilations ever made including Sasha's 'Ibiza' and 'San Francisco' releases, Paul Oakenfold's 'Oslo', Darren Emerson's 'Singapore' to Tony De Vit's 'Tel Aviv' and 'Tokyo' follow up, with the more recent 'Black Rock Desert' release form Carl Cox, their roster reads like a who's who of electronica's icons.

Wally Lopez? Cannot say I have ever seen that many promos around of his - is he a prolific DJ?

Seems a bizarre choice really?

Re: Global Underground #39 Dave Seaman

Hopefully this will offer something a bit more interesting and exciting than the Plump DJ's effort.

Re: Global Underground #39 Dave Seaman

Yeah Wally is a great dj and composer. He's been making some deep dark tribally stuff for years. I just could never stand to look at the guy. I look at him and say Get a Man's Haircut!

Re: Global Underground #39 Dave Seaman

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the Sandy Rivera Renaissance, and the Renaissance series seems to have a very logical flow with each addition to their series. The Gui Boratto and M.A.N.D.Y. releases I wouldn't have figured to be logical follow ups to Danny Howell's contribution, but when I've played all three back to back, they're nearly seamless.

I need to do this then, haven't heard Gui Boratto and the MANDY discs yet.

Like you said, GU seems very jarring with each addition to the series, Nick Warren's Lima, followed by Lavelle in Bangkok and then Carl Cox in Black Rock just doesn't feel like contributions in the series like they did before - they feel more like they're individual efforts with the GU label just putting their name on it.

None the less, I quite enjoyed all there albums put out. Top stuff after a long time IMO.
