As you may have gathered from our recent feature, Damian Schwartz has released his new album through Net 28 - and it’s really rather good.

Drawing more heavily upon the influences of Chicago and Detroit than on previous works, ‘Party Lovers’ is a solid representation of a producer that along with Alex Under and Tadeo, has been responsible for garnering the nascent Spanish techno scene some much needed exposure. 

Schwartz resists the multi genre angle taken by many dance producers on a longplayer format and instead focuses his attention on the ‘floor, offering up 11 solid house and techno cuts that, without being earth shattering, do project a colourful palette of moods and themes.

Highlights include ‘Carolina’s Favourite’, a piano-flecked groover with a ‘Spells of Yoruba’ style vocal chant; ‘Continuamente’, which employs another cut-up sample over a turbulent bassline, and ‘Lo Que Sube, Baja’, an acidic little number that buzzes busily with the hum of frazzled synth lines and warm chords.
