about

Ad Hoc Records are excited to present forthcoming EP Open Up from rising star Hermanito. Emerging from the quiet solitude of 2020, here is a must-listen for fans of the unpredictable and beat-laden cross-cultural stylings of Bonobo, Emancipator, Quantic, Aim and Caribou.

Open Up EP takes global inspiration, spanning Peruvian footwork, ‘70s Brazilian crate-digging and a lifetime of eclectic musical exposure. In equal parts new, familiar and divergent, it’s truly an EP to take note of - not just for its breadth but the skill of its execution. Strap in for an artfully constructed ride through dancefloor and downtime genres, culminating in a punchy future-liquid incarnation of Manhattan, reworked by long-time collaborator Joaquín Cornejo.

Darting across the hinterland where live performance and electronica meet, Manhattan is a glorious homage to the originators of lo-fi genres. Detuned percussive reverses scythe their way through a gossamer curtain of gated synths and flute, taking this track from a warm background ambience to the sit-up-and-take-note folktronic foreground.

“In an attempt to transcend my claustrophobic conditions during lockdown I wrote this track by exploring far eastern samples and textures ”

From its G-Funk top line to the textural 808 tangent and jazz-hop flute, Cup of Joe more than any other track on the EP depicts Hermanito’s artistic evolution. Prepare for a journey through his past and present listenings, all the time teasing and neatly juxtaposing future sounds with instantly recognisable sonic easter eggs.
