Max Romeo – PROTEST TO M1 (Pacheko Remix) from Igor Bastidas on Vimeo.
This track was released a while back on Senseless Records as part of a remix package of Max Romeo, which included Rossi B & Luca, De Ville, and a few others. But this particular remix from Venezuela’s Pacheko gets a new official video, a trippy illustrated journey made by Igor Bastidas that perfectly encapsulates the spacey sound of the track. It’s a little like In the Night Kitchen meets Parra.
