Earlier this year Argenis Brito made his debut on mobilee in a feature appearance on “No News Today,” the single from Exercise One’s album, In Cars We Rust. Now he’s back and he’s brought a friend: fellow Venezuelan Miguel Toro. This new collaboration between two of Cadenza’s finest talents makes it’s official debut on mobilee with “Black Shoes,” a cut that pops, crackles, and snaps like you’d never believe. Dance floor ready yet unwilling to sacrifice an explicit focus on the details, “Black Shoes” pulsates with bass while suggesting a kind of lightness as whispered and fragmented voices hiss and murmur in the background. The melodics, which give off the feel of being in constant flux, provide a nice contrast to the intensely regularized bass drum while simultaneously meshing with the popping percussion that guide the track along its course. Breakdowns filled with the sounds of static and 8-bit provide a nice experimental touch to this track that works equally well as a late-night romp as it does on the headphones. B-side “Speech” also gives off a stuttered feel but is even more blippy and fragmented than its counterpart while migrating towards a more jacking vibe. Brito and Toro compliment this fractured sound with extensive use of vocal samples—both spoken and sung—that, while incomprehensible, lock in seamlessly with the overall feel of the track. Melody here references both vintage sounds and traditional minimalism with the end result being a fusion of the two that is truly extraordinary.

Audiofly: “really liking the Black Shoes track....will play a lot fo sho (ANT)...and 2nd line too”

De:Bug Magazin: “Cadenza macht Familienausflug auf Mobilee. Warum nicht. Die beiden jedenfalls haben es hier ganz hinterlistig mal auf einen poppigeren Sound abgesehen und singen sich auf dem Titeltrack mit den plockernden Melodien und den wagemutigen kleinen Synthwirbeln, die wie die Stimme im Hintergrund liegen, in Exstase. Smooth und dennoch ein Killer. Unaufdringlich, aber unausweichlich. Die Rückseite kommt mit "Speech" in einem ungewohnt aufgedrehten Funkstil und dreht den Synths kleine Löckchen, lässt die Grooves feuern und zerzauselt die Stimme in fast unverständliche Brezeln. Musik, die ein Feld von kleinen kräuselnden Rauchwolken hinterlässt. Technoid, aber voller Housefunk und mit soviel Soul, dass man fast mitsingen möchte.”
