Solaz is the expression of the ludic part of ourselves, like a scattering of moving particles deviated by our essential energy. A vigorous moment: magnetic waves of pure creativity and lightness invite our soul to escape. Open doors to go out and play… the music that makes us fly.
Solaz is the consolidation of an arduous conceptual project of KUMQUAT together with Flavio Etcheto, Franco Cinelli and Jorge Savoretti.
Flavio Etcheto aka Flavius e (Casa del Puente, Unlock rec., Traum, Kupei Musika, Buenos Aires, Arg.), this interesting musician has the merit to figure among the pioneers of the experimental sound in Argentina. Different multifaceted projects such as Trineo, Ocio, Soda Stereo and Gustavo Cerati (international singer-songwriter and ex-leader of the most legendary and important Latin-American band of electronic pop-rock,) and Roken, electronic live-project with Gustavo Cerati and Leandro Fresco, are part of his impressive path.
The sonorous reversion of Franco Cinelli (Esperanza, Kumquat, AirDrop, Lomidhigh, Rosario, Arg.) is a free story of speed projections towards the infinity without horizons or bounds, only air and multicolored stars.
The exquisite talent of Jorge Savoretti (Esperanza, M-nus, Dumb Unit, Rosario, Arg.) completes this aerial package with hypnotic touches in his dub techno reversion.

Mathias Schaffhäuser (Ware Records) cool driving remix by mr. savoretti. high standard as always. also nice moody mix by Franco Cinelli, i like the subtle sounds in the background and the reverbed deep toms around 4 minutes. extraordinary production, mr. C.!
Tj Norris (Toneshift) Kumquat’s latest is as if you tarted up an uncharted sleepy new wave hit from 1983 and spiked it with heaping dash of habanero. ‘Solaz’ is nearly white hot and Flavio Etcheto is slick as gasoline at a bbq. People, this is the good sh*t, top shelf, don’t settle for cheap imitations! Funky with a puckered attitude, and that’s just the original version. When Jorge Savoretti gets himself wrapped around the track its nothing short of expertly crafted sexuality smouldering on the dancefloor. Great transitions and follow-through, never fades into boredom, full steam ahead! And the conclusion is as almost as startling as Franco Cinelli takes to the deck to craft a sensuous afterglow without hindsight. It takes a few minutes to blossom, but about a quarter through you know youre deep in it.
