PE-003 | Cerro - The Infinite Hum EP Snippets by Proto Exotica

Cerro is a personal and transportive collection of recordings owed to four months in Colombia, where Mateo returned to the neighbourhood he grew up in. On a table in his childhood home, he set up a modest travelling studio with a small collection of analogue hardware. At times, he'd pack individual pieces of gear to travels within his travels, working without a fixed room or routine.

And so from a drum machine, a monophonic synth, a polyphonic synth, a laptop, and a pair of headphones (but no speakers) came five tracks of dub-inflected house and cosy Balearica.

The EP opens with 'The Bright Side', dub bass, warm analogue pads, housey tempo. 'Unending Journey' slows things down, its deep low-end holding space beneath a synth that drifts in and out. 'Power Of The Small' brings a dreamy house melody
alongside a dubbed-out analogue lead, the filter opening and closing as the track breathes. On the B-side, Andras remixes 'The Bright Side', keeping the bounce and weaving a jazzy lo-fi Rhodes solo through it. The EP closes with 'Indubitably', dubbed-out vocal samples and floating pads settling into a downtempo Balearic lilt.
