In contrast to an earlier post on Kompakt standout Matias Aguayo, my reaction to his recent single Rollerskate, like that of the accompanying album, has been somewhat mixed. On one hand, Aguayo assuredly reaffirms his position as the labels most innovative voice, crafting original compositions against the backdrop of a genre that fetishizes convention. On the other, where the production on his last album was a masterstroke of clarity and depth, the sonic style of its predecessor sounds deliberately thin, sometimes to the point of being frustrating.

This assessment was shared by friend of the blog Solomon, who has filled in the gaps of this otherwise remarkable single with an exclusive edit that skillfully realizes the force and depth the original composition demands.
