Dutch producer Deniro - Reynier Hooft van Huijsduijnen to his mother - drops an LP of tense minimal techno via Nina Kraviz’s TRIP imprint. Similarly to recent TRIP releases from Bjarki, there is a feeling that Deniro wishes to interrogate whichever style or bpm he is working in at a given time. He wrings his grooves dry, exploring every inch of the loops that make up tracks like ‘Tribe’ and ‘Trader’. As such, the eight cuts that make up Mendoza have a trance-like quality that becomes apparent as each of them wears on. A piece like ‘Disobedient’, for instance, is crying out to be let loose in the darkest corners of Europe’s dancehalls.
