After landing digitally late last year, Felipe Gordon's sophomore set, A Soundascape Onamatopeya, has finally made it to wax. This is undoubtedly a good thing for us vinyl enthusiasts, because it's arguably the strongest collection of cuts that the Colombian has assembled to date. In keeping with the personal production style that he's been developing over the last few years, the vibrant, colourful and atmospheric 12-track set does a terrific job in fusing elements of deep house and jazz-funk (particularly warming live instrumentation) with subtle nods to jazz, Dilla style instrumental hip-hop, Latin house, late-night club workouts and the bumpin' swing of New Jersey garage. In other words, it's a hugely entertaining affair that sounds as good on headphones as it does in the club.
