Kid Gusto: Safari Salvaje (BSTRD Boots, 2011, 12″)
Latin remixes.
Oops. Kid Gusto literally handed a copy of this 12″ to me three years ago and I meant – really I did! – to give it some love back then. Better late than, uh, never? And the thing is: the remixes on this 12: include some of my favorite Latin dance tracks, including a remix of Afrosound’s “Tiro Al Blanco” but “Safari Salvaje” is all-timer for me. Gusto doesn’t even need to do a ton here to juice it up – it’s already a great song to begin with – but instead, just needs to give it these subtle touch-ups to push it even further.
