Spotlight: LPZ Records Mixed by Cosmo Lopez A constant source of inventive, positively charged, high-end techno and electronics, we shine a light on Paraguayan LPZ Records with this blistering DJ set by chief label operator Cosmo Lopez. All tracks are taken from the label’s colourful and wide-reaching discography, with over 25 tracks cut together in the Asunción-based crew’s trademark fiery mixing style. Alongside musical brothers P. Lopez and Octavio, Cosmo has been active in Paraguay’s rollercoaster of a club scene since the 90s, riding the highs and low of a political situation where curfews and tough policing have made it hard to go out and dance to underground music. Nowadays LPZ Records stands for something vital and regenerative in the South American scene, giving up-and-coming artists and underrepresented talents the chance to reach a worldwide audience. Say goodbye to your inner track-ID-search demons! Cosmo gallantly formatted the tracklist here for all to marvel in his selections. All the tracks are available on Formaviva, too.
