Track of the Day: Mike Griego - Limbo

This week I have one for you from an Argentinian based producer by the name of Mike Griego. ‘Limbo’ is going to be the B-side on Griego’s forthcoming ‘Idioglossia EP’, out soon on Canadian imprint microCastle. The EP will also feature remixes from BOg and Hermanez. ‘Limbo’ is a groovy progressive track with a strong focus on gradually developing the melody. It is grimy and acidy and it moves. In a recent interview Griego critiqued the landscape of progressive house producers, saying that many of the big names out there are just that, big names. He argued that there are not many progressive house DJs who are any good at making tracks that would kill it on a dance floor. ‘Limbo’ shows that Griego knows what he is doing. Check it out. You will know what I mean.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/234347226" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]Mike Griego’s Facebook profile says “you shouldn't even be reading this! Just hit play!” In other words, he prefers to let his work speak for itself. Last year’s ‘Misery Ectoplasma’ is proof positive that that should suffice. Griego is super talented. Fellow Argentinian Hernan Cattaneo must agree considering he debuted ‘Limbo’ live at last year’s Moonpark Festival in Buenos Aires. Griego also contributed a remix to Cattaneo and Guy Mantzur’s ‘Imaginarium EP’ out on now Sudbeat Music. John Digweed must agree too. He dropped Guy Mantzur’s remix of ‘Sofia’ on his ‘Live @ Montreal’ mix earlier this year. With support like this and the talent to back it up Griego is sure to continue rising.Speaking of rising, my excitement for the RITUAL UNION party has gone through the rough! Looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces out in Indio![soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/201952522" params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
