“Lugares Algarete”: Pizza Con Chocolate, 91mirage and Solecito Join Forces to Provide an Experience11/28/2022 As one of the most active beatmakers in the scene right now, Solecito has always been a musician open to collaboration, an ability he continues to display in his latest collaborative effort alongside Pizza Con Chocolateand 91mirage, Lugares Algarete, a project that digs its roots in lo-fi hip hop, but one that expands itself to a variety of sounds like jazztronica, trip hop, rock and more. Lugares Algarete starts with “Axis”, an experimental jazz, electronic and hip hop fusion that would make Flying Lotus fans proud. Afterwards, “Cinturón de Orion” follows the experimentation of the previous track, but this time providing more atmosphere along with MF DOOM, J Dilla and Madlib influences. Then “Terapia” delves into the psychedelic side of things as the producers provide what seems what it feels like to get a back massage in beat form while displaying some trip hop and rock influences. Next “Amorose” serves as the most lo-fi hip hop song in the project thus far. The second half starts with “Redes Sociales” is an atmospheric track that reflects on the subject matter of its title in a song that feels heavily inspired by Frank Ocean’s Blonde. Subsequently, “Hechizos” shows a bit of the producers’ dance influences as they blend their brand of experimental lo-fi with club music. Later, “Titos Con Parcha” finds the trio blending their lo-fi vibes with reggae and dub to present a unique psychedelic experiment that’ll play well in beach day playlists. Finally, “Yuxtaposición” encapsulates various of the experimental sounds explored across the project as the vocals explore what seems to be memory and nostalgia in a song that promises more avant-garde approaches in the future of each producer.
In closing, Pizza Con Chocolate, 91mirage and Solecito’s Lugares Algarete is a fantastic blend of what all the musicians can bring to the table in a project that takes listeners through a variety of sounds with a firm root in lo-fi hip hop.
