Matias Aguayo released one of 2009's more unconventional albums in Ay Ay Ay. Formed mostly around the human voice in varying chants, percussive samples and languages, it is a departure from the standard techno flavour of Kompakt's output over the past number of years. Aguayo himself has moved away from the minimal sound that forged his reputation, he is one half of Closer Musik (with Dirk Leyers). I don't feel that Ay Ay Ay represents a new dawn for all things around the 120bpm mark but it is something different to wrap your ears around. The lead track 'Menta Latte' can annoy and delight in equal measures with its numerous layered vocals. First single 'Rollerskate' is a worth a whirl and will have your head moving before you know it. My favourite track has to be the sinister sounding 'Ay Shit - The Master'.Ay Ay Ay was released on 26 October 2009 on Kompakt records. Buy here.
