The Argentinian producer, jazz ever-learning enthusiast and musician Salvador Poletti is the one behind this 11th release in this section of single tracks. Editing nothing less than the arguably one of the best-known Brazilian musicians: Sérgio Mendes — a pianist, producer, songwriter who folded Brazilian rhythms and language into American jazz and folk, Salvador metabolizes the richness and beauty of Sérgio's track 'What Is This?'. Fresh and singular, intelligently rearranged as efficient as it gets.

You know those days when you don't feel good
And everything looks so sad
When you get up from your bed
It's in your left foot not knowing
What to do with your life
So you turn on the radio looking for music
But you can only hear waste, waste
Only waste
Then you return to bed
And decide to pay a visit
For the places you've never seen before
And so you walk, you walk
So you walk and walk and walk and walk
When you look around you in the place
You've never seen before before before before
Hearing the sound sound sound
Who makes you think you are in heaven
And so you ask ask ask
I answer, brothers
And so you ask, ask me
What does it mean
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
You know those days when you don't feel good
And everything looks so sad
When you get up from your bed
It's in your left foot not knowing
What to do with your life
So you turn on the radio looking for music
But you can only hear waste, waste
Only waste
Then you return to bed
And decide to pay a visit
For the places you've never seen before
And so you walk, you walk
So you walk and walk and walk and walk
When you look around you in the place
You've never seen before before before before
Hearing the sound sound sound
Who makes you think you are in heaven
And so you ask ask ask
I answer, brothers
And so you ask ask ask
I answer, brothers
And so you ask, ask me
What is this?
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
Don't you know this is like a flame my brother
Don't you know this is the music of the hour
What is this?
We are in heaven

Every single song on this stellar compilation is a moody and memorable dose of deephouse, each wearing the intricacies and intelligence of their design lightly. If you have room in your heart for smart and emotionally grown-up electronica, you'd be doing yourself an enormous disservice overlooking this. Ben Harris
