Selling over 110,000 Global Underground albums in the UK alone over his 11 year history with the brand, Warren’s name is synonymous with underground musical integrity and guaranteed commercial sales success.
Selecting the Peruvian capital Lima for his latest installment in the legendary GU city series, Warren complies an entirely exclusive track list to capture the sound and ambience of this historic former Incan city.
Based around the Global Underground party captured in the album’s beautiful stylized artwork, the GU Lima mix is a sonic missile – simple, direct, and deadly. There is a definite cosmopolitan futurism about it akin with the city itself– a track called ‘The Castillian’ melting into one called ‘Siberian Transit’, is a case in point.
MIX ONE begins quietly, with Paul Roger’s ambient, ethereal intro but quickly plunges into the awkward bleepy techno of Nils Nuerenberg’s ‘Seduction’. The creepy girlish laughter that creeps in to the pulsing house groove of Kruse and Nuernberg’s ‘An Why E’ brings an edge of menace- as Jarius Miller’s ‘Botnet’ continues the trip with bleeps and bloops that land from outer space. Culminating in the ghostly finale of 16 Bit Lolitas mix of Astrid Suryanto’s grandiose ‘Distant Bar’, this is Nick’s most cohesive Global Underground mix for some time.
MIX TWO begins with Alex Dolby’s ‘Long Beach’, a track that drops a funky string refrain onto twisting electronic flutters. The squelchy minimalist bounce of Chris Croat Yvel & Tristan’s ‘Panama’ backs up with Nicolo Vivarelli’s ‘I Am Trying’, haunted by distant radio voices edging nervously in and out of a disco bassline. Thomas Sagstad’s ‘Castillian’ builds energy with its relentless string refrain with twanging Spanish guitar flourishes, while a flurry of vocals arrive on the The Steals vs. Grafiti’s ‘Sinner’ (Leama and James Davis 'Grafiti' Mix) with its echoing, poppy vocals floating on stuttering rhythms, lush chords and electronic squeals that slowly spiral upwards. Warren brings out some big guns for the finale. Analogue People In A Digital World’s ‘Before The Wind’ drives its relentless groove home, occasionally lighting up with brief, bright flashes of melody. The closing Perc’s ‘Bosworth’ has the only big breakdown on the album and is soon back to a luscious, yet minimal groove. Another no nonsense underground burner from an album that is full of them.
Accompanied by a world tour to promote this release, visiting key markets across the globe from October through to the New Year, Nick Warren Lima looks set to be another big one in the series.
