From the historically significant city of Córdoba, Claudio Cornejo and Gustavo Ruarte are artists at the vanguard of the underground dance scene, portrayed through their Analog Jungs production moniker. Constantly looking to develop their beautifully sculpted sound, the duo are regulars at global festivals including Burning Man, Tomorrowland and Woodstock 69, while also performing across their Argentinean homeland. A production career has run contemporaneously with their work gracing such esteemed imprints as Mango Alley, Or Two Strangers and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Supported by DJ heavyweights including John Digweed, Eelke Kleijn and fellow countryman, Hernan Cattaneo, Analog Jungs now showcase their unique talents on Meanwhile. Opening proceedings, “Surrender” is driven by a hefty beat and offbeat percussion combination as meandering chord progressions juxtapose against a dynamic bass groove that has the words ‘floor filling’ stamped across it in large letters. Working effortlessly in syncopated joy with the rhythm section, melodic elements come courtesy of delayed chords that shimmer across the breakdown before erupting into the third movement to create a multi-faceted offering. “Here & Now” continues the dominant kick and dynamic shaker rhythm that lays the foundation for a bassline from the depths of the Laurentian Abyss as it permeates listener consciousness with its imperceptible groove. Building with filtered subtlety, flowing pads and white noise washes, delayed chords build into the breakdown before a rousing crescendo drops back into seething and sultry dancefloor credentials. The final track sees “Bridge” entice with it rolling percussive groove, anchored by a chest-thumping kick. White noise swells wax and wane in metronomic fashion before the track enters a new phase with ticking hit-hat groove and immaculately placed analogue synth motif. Counterpoint melodies and complementary bassline enter the fray at the breakdown before “Bridge” picks up the pace once more in the second half to dramatic and intoxicating effect. A three-track study in musical craftsmanship, Analog Jungs have created a captivating triptych through “Surrender”.
