Buscemi: Dirk Swartenbroekx.
Why Buscemi? Only Dirk Swartenbroekx, the Belgian mastermind behind the spicy, heavily Latinized dance tracks released under the moniker, knows for sure. Swartenbroekx's music has absolutely nothing to do with independent film's favorite character actor Steve Buscemi, and everything to do with the hot rhythms of South America and dance-floors worldwide. Go figure.
OUR GIRL IN HAVANA is Buscemi's blistering sophomore set. These 11 exciting cuts are marked by Brazilian batucada madness ("Spooky Samba"), bossa blissfulness ("Ramiro's Theme"), high-torque breakbeat fit for London's most discriminating clubs ("Angel of LA"), dub-house diversions ("Calling All Drama Queens"), jazz-juiced deep-house confections ("Night Life at 3:33," "La Sopa del Dia"), and divas aplenty. Among the more eccentric ingredients thrown into Swartenbroekx's melting pot are crackling electro breakdowns ("First Flight to London"), luscious Afro-Cuban hyperjazz flights ("La Musica de Ayer con el Sonido de Hoy"), and irresistibly quirky Latin grooves ("Our Girl in Havana"). The CD adds the pre-album single "My Suitor," a cover featuring lilting breaks and lovely vocals.
