“What does it mean to be hopeful and open and trusting in a world that desperately wants u to be cold and calculated?”
Inspired by an offhand Grace Jones quote, twisted dembow mastermind Juanny Depp infuses Latin club music with demonic energy on his new EP Crimes of Optimism. While the record covers a variety of moods and tempos, “AT THE BORDER” is a frenetic banger, pushing the vibe past the boiling point. You’ll get sweaty listening to this on your cellphone speaker, so imagine what these heaters will sound like in the club. Lucky for you he keeps a pretty busy schedule, so you can catch him on Sept 9th with b0nitababy at Brix 581, and on Sept 11th with Fake & Gay at El Rio.
