Saturday Flashback: Tomas Heredia feat. Victoria Bernardi – Nothing to Lose

“Damn, when it’s good it really is good.”

Tim: This came out early this summer, by two artists from Buenos Aires, and has just been sent to us; it really is quite the BANGER once it gets going, so have a listen.

Tom: Not just once it gets going! That’s a great introduction, too, with a proper build. It feels like I haven’t heard something like that in a while.

Tim: You may be might. You see, this track, in combination with yesterday’s, made me realise how much I’ve missed good piano dance music. Yes, it was far too pervasive while it was around, and by the end of 2013 it was no wonder there was a vacuum for farmhouse music to fit into, but damn, when it’s good it really is good to jump around and go nuts to. And this fits that bill very, very nicely.

Tom: Yes, you’re exactly right. It’s by-the-numbers for back then — even down to that one-beat ‘reset’ at 1:50, shortly after the inexplicable shot of someone holding their WhatsApp conversation up in the sky for everyone to see — but those are good numbers.

Tim: When that build started 80 seconds in, I got excited, and then when the drop hit I was very keen indeed. All I’m really left wondering now is whether I’ll be feeling nostalgic for pineapples in 2020.
