Miguel Leiva is Casomado, a producer and DJ based in Montreal who draws influence from his early like in South America as well as the varied history of music over the past five decades. His multi-faceted house music sound moves feet and souls alike, and shines on his latest release, “Pomelo.” This adventurous afro-house delight comes equipped with three fresh mixes.
The driving force and inspiration for “Pomelo” is its loose percussion. Layered shakers and hand drum provide a rhythmic foundation for the bouncing bass line. Psychedelic textures, synth pads and melodies, and a playful vocal sample expand the depth of “Pomelo,” giving the tune a place in the headspace as well as the dance floor. A sparser Dub Version accentuates the main drum part, and the Radio Version puts the focus on the vocal hook’s interplay within the mix. Top notch!
