GOAT (JP) & RICARDO VILLALOBOS - WITHOUT REFERENCES / CINDY VAN ACKER (RICARDO VILLALOBOS VARIATIONS)

goat (JP) and Ricardo Villalobos come together on Without References / Cindy van Acker (Variations) for Latency, with Villalobos reshaping ‘Orin’ and ‘Factory’, two pieces originally written for Cindy van Acker’s dance work Without References. Following his recent reinterpretation of Mohammad Reza Mortazavi’s ‘Swamp’, the release continues the label’s focus on rhythmic transformation and collaboration.

Led by Osaka composer Koshiro Hino, goat (JP) build intricate, non-tonal rhythmic structures that Villalobos reimagines through his trademark minimalist techno style, drawing on hypnotic repetition and Latin American percussion traditions.
