--------------------------
Marquant une véritable évolution par rapport à sa première sortie pour Fullfridge il y a déjà deux ans, ce nouvel EP du jeune prodige de Ciudad Juarez Mock The Zuma est une plongée en apnée dans un univers rythmique et sonore hors du commun.
Une sorte de bande-son onirique et futuriste du Mexique urbain de 2028, revisité au travers du prisme de la nouvelle bass music mondiale (grime, post-dubstep, future garage…), un fantasme musical transfrontières, qui paradoxalement ne dépareillerait pas sur les dancefloors les plus avant-gardistes des cinq continents.
Hymnes en puissance au potentiel de séduction immédiat, mais néanmoins suffisamment complexes pour marquer sur la durée, les ensorcelants Yonke Sounds et Sedativos, qui ouvrent chacune des faces du EP, en constituent en quelque sorte les pierres fondatrices, tandis que les plus expérimentaux Selune Diskport et Riptide Streets permettent de pousser un cran au-delà l’exploration de climats insolites aux charmes obscurs et singuliers.
Pris dans son ensemble, enfin, ce Replicators EP s’impose comme une des œuvres maitresses du catalogue Fullfridge Music, à la fois respectueux des bases posées au préalable, mais également suffisamment audacieux pour tracer de nouveaux chemins de traverse, qui devraient, on en prend le pari, ne laisser personne indifférent.

--------------------------
With a genuine evolution since the first release for Fullfrigde two years back, the young prodigy Mock The Zuma returns with a new EP which is a like taking a breathless dive into an extraordinary world of rhythms and sounds.
Dreamlike futuristic soundtracks straight from urban Mexico 2028, revisited through the prism of the new worldwide bass music (grime , post- dubstep, future garage ... ), a cross-border musical fantasy, which paradoxically wouldn’t look out of place on the five continent’s most cutting-edge dance-floors. Powerful hymns with immediate seduction potential, yet sufficiently complex to last over time, the memorizing Yonke Sounds and Sedativos found as an opening tracks on each side of the EP, somehow constitute like the foundation stones, while the more experimental Selune Diskport and Riptide Streets, allow to push the exploring of unusual dark and captivating climates just one step further.
Finally, when taken all together, this Replicators EP imposes as one of the Fullfridge Music catalog‘s masterpieces, respectful of what has been before but sufficiently audacious to open new peripheral byways, that will-and we place the bet- not fail to impress.
