Since Spanish house heavyweight Cuartero embarked upon his career as a DJ/producer in 2011, he’s stamped his larger-than-life musical personality onto records released by Desolat, Hot Creations and others, but his latest recording for the Moon Harbour label is an EP that underlines his knack for crafting big, booming, basslines and irresistibly gargantuan grooves.
Set for a December 18 release, Cuartero’s Shadow is a three-song EP that rounds out the title track with “Elevator” and “Been So Long,” all of which turn out to be the kind of tracks that give clubgoers what they long for — a sweaty, sensual sound that makes it all but impossible to avoid dancing. And when you’ve got a groove like the one from “Shadow” (streaming below) going for you, why would you ever dream of not dancing to begin with?
