J(X) – Las Trailas [LP]

Beatmaker/arranger J(X) whips up a punchy and hypnotically looped instrumental set with his 11-track outing Las Trailas. Even as the sampled melodies swerve between sparkling mellowness and chest-thumping mood-lifters, J(X) connects his brief sound treks together with grainy drum kits that thump and snap with organic flair. Outstanding entries on this head-nodding selection include a knotty piece of cinematic-funk called “Silverwheel“, a revved-up bit of fanfare called “Shortcuts” (that seems like the sort of track that Freeway would’ve left on a loop in the studio while putting together his Free At Last tape), a bombastic drum-brawl called “Las Baikas” (which lulls you into a false sense of coolness with its serene opening melodies before making your eardrums pop with its rattling rhythms) and an almost grandiose celebratory theme called “Callejeros“.
