09/ 2018 New release: Softcore Express – Synthango

Eternal Sunday presents an amazing album: Synthango, by Softcore Express, an album that compiles instrumental versions  of 11 of the best known tango pieces in the Universe produced with a synthpop/ synthwave sound, made with vintage analog synthesizers.

Electronic tango or electrotango became popular as a genre around the year 2000, but was mostly a combination of tango classic sounds, especially the bandoneon/ tango accordion, with loops and electronic percussion (not always produced in good taste). This is not what Synthango is: there’s no bandoneon/ tango accordion or any other acoustic instrument in this album, everything was replaced with pulsating lines of analog synthesizers that create a surprising sound collage that was never done before, very catchy and overflowing with naïve freshness.

Synthango is both an homage to tango from Buenos Aires and to the synthpop sound of the pioneer producers that developed electronic music based on synthesizers during the 70s and 80s. The sound and arrangements evoke legendary producers and artists like Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone and synthpop pioneers like Yazoo, SoftCell o Depeche Mode, giving as a result a tango album that’s unique, revolutionary and apt for a global public and market.

11/ 2012 OUT TODAY: Softcore Express - Electro Tango: La Cumparsita (Single) // Beatport exclusive

Softcore Express are Eternal Sunday records’ official tribute makers: after releasing an electro tribute to grunge rockers Nirvana they decided it was time to pay homage to their home town, Buenos Aires by making electro versions of the two most known tango pieces in the world (since tango is the music from Buenos Aires). They are “La Cumparsita” and “El Choclo” (loosely versioned in the 50s as “Kiss Of Fire” for the American and European market).

As usual Softcore Express music has a furious electro beat with a hyper catchy quality. Unlike most blends between tango and electronic music, Softcore Express doesn’t add the bandoneon or tango accordeon, the typical instrument that gives tango its unique flavour. “We decided there was no point in recording bandoneons (tango accordeons). Why should we? When we tribute country music we don’t use banjos or steel guitars, and we covered Nirvana without using guitars, why should make an exception with tango?”, says Michael Etes, one of the producers behind the project.

There are many versions of these tangos around. These are probably the catchiest. Have fun.

The single Electro Tango: La Cumparsita (Single) by Softcore Express is an EXCLUSIVE BEATPORT store release for 8 weeks, from November 1 to December 31, 2012
