PACHAKUTI & YOUNG.VISHNU JUEGO DE OLAS

Pachakuti and young.vishnu return with their first single 'Juego de Olas', following on form their 2020 album Semilla. Pachakuti is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist with strong leanings towards Jazz and Latin music. young.vishnu is a beatmaker, arranger, sampleologist, as well as the founder of the Nima Composition Archive. They both briefly met five years ago in Hildesheim and became friends during a road trip to the Bask country. 'On 'Juego de Olas', they merge lo-fi beats, latin-style jazz (rimming with flute), and a chilled bass groove. Based in Berlin and Hildesheim, Pachakuti & young.vishnu explain, "Our duo acts like a full blown band with Pachakuti on keys, flute, piano, harmonium, percussion and young.vishnu on drums, bass and guitar". They say their music is for fans of Kiefer, FloFilz, Alfa Mist and Robert Glasper; and we think they're spot on. Check out 'Juego de Olas' here. -Ellie Rose-Davies
