MAMACITA FT PERSONA RS – TU AMOR

Description

Sometimes, the right track just lands in your lap. That’s exactly what happened with Mamacita’s ‘Tu Amor’, a Chilean cover of Jamie Principle & Frankie Knuckles’ ‘Your Love’. Originally released in 2012, it started making waves after being played in sets by the Idjut Boys, catching the attention of DJ Steve KIW, who passed it on to Mr Bongo. It quickly became a favorite. While playing in Barcelona, Luke Una dropped the track in his set, and it instantly clicked with him. The track’s raw, DIY vibe, paired with its quirky arrangement, made it a perfect fit for E Soul Cultura, and now it’s getting its first vinyl release. The song was created by Chilean DJ Mamacita (Carolina Vallejos) and producer Persona RS (Sebastian Roman) on lo-fi equipment, channeling a DIY energy that recalls early Chicago house. It became a hit in Chile’s underground scene, though it didn’t receive much attention outside of Latin America and the US. For this release, Luke Una and Luke Solomon re-edited it, extending the track and emphasising its wonky synths, while still keeping that unique cosmic feel. Both the original and the re-edit are included in this vinyl release, bringing new life to a previously overlooked gem.
