The core pursuit of underground electronic music does not lie in blind automation, but rather in the tension generated at the frontier where silicon meets flesh. Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentine producer Lucas Loyato unveils his third outing for Spektro Records under an existential premise: exploring the raw relationships between machines and humans. Titled Scientific Funk, this release marks the artist’s debut on vinyl through a collection of four original tracks intertwining sci-fi coldness with the elasticity of funk. Three explosive cuts and a mysterious introduction strike a surgical balance between emotion, body, and consciousness.
The core of this intergalactic immersion manifests with sophistication on Any Sound You Like, a track boasting a highly compact yet agile sound design. The piece evades genre clichés to deploy an imposing, subtle sci-fi hypnotism of an analog nature. Intensive and extensive, the progressions refuse immediacy; they advance via liquid transformations building a lunar texture over near-black marine blue backgrounds—a universal visual correlative placing the listener within the immensity of outer space void.
The sonic narrative dispenses with abrupt breaks; the climax arrives with surgical delicacy, a vanishing point after which the machine’s rough, scratching frequencies cause the heart to physically pulse. The intricate sonic labyrinths built by Loyato suddenly reveal their exit, leaving a spaceship stranded on the outermost fringes of the universe. The track transutes into a series of sonic transmissions toward a long-abandoned control tower, sustaining an undaunted, impregnable drive.
The closing shuns the complacency of summaries or progressive dissolution; the rhythmic signal simply cuts off mid-spatial tension, leaving a resonance floating in the dim light. With Scientific Funk, Lucas Loyato and Spektro Records sign a lucid editorial stance for the contemporary Latin American scene: they prove that futuristic techno does not have to be monolithic or inert, but a living organism capable of making mathematical precision dialogue with the vibration of the body.
