about

Hailing from Buenos Aires, EL PLVYBXY brings Argentinian innovation and emotion to the Nostro Hood via his ‘Reflexis’ EP. Having been recorded in Villa Urquiza during a time of significant economic crisis, the release is tinged with an aura of immense sadness and hardship. Gregorio takes great inspiration from the ‘Murga’ rhythm; An essential South American protest rhythm that echoes through the streets during times of political conflict. The release follows a journey through a personal and unified crisis – rearing its head as an economical suffering, concluding as his own existential resolve.

‘Ven A Mi’ is an aggressive entrance into the 3-track release, utilising crunchy, mechanical percussion programmed to follow the aforementioned Murga rhythm. Processed vocals ring out alongside the buzzy bassline, creating a harmonious cry for escape from the world around him.

‘Carnavalito’ carries with it an air of hope amongst its dischordant, yet enchanting melody. Featuring the vocals of Argentinian vocalist O.l.i.v.i.a, the energy is deep and powerful, which can be said for the otherworldly, mechanized artillery taking form as the drums. Altogether, the whole track feels distant from reality.

We conclude with a remix of ‘Carnavalito’ from fellow Argentinian artist Suckie, who takes the hypnotic vocals of O.l.i.v.i.a and surrounds them in warmth and comfort with mystifying instrumentation that brings us right back to earth. Suckie’s remix solidifies the voyage EL PLVYBXY has returned from; surrounded by love, joy and harmony once again.
