We start 2026 with two artists as fresh as the new year…
Kabi and Agustín Ficarra represent distinct yet complementary currents rising out of Buenos Aires, each shaped by early obsessions that pulled them deep into electronic music.
Across this two-track EP they unveil a pair of works that highlight the full breadth of their shared range.
If you’re looking to supercharge a dance floor, reach for Let You Go. On this monster of a techno-prog cut, the duo summon an energy that feels atomic: a rolling bassline pushing against hard, sizzling drums while a woodblock snare snaps through the haze.
An audaciously wobbling lead synth storms over the top, its saw-toothed twang adding just the right amount of unhinged character to the otherwise disciplined groove.
The breakdown only tightens the pressure before exploding outward, and when the drums slam back in, the track reveals itself for what it is: pure nuclear.
On Keep You Close the energy turns inward, more tempered and reflective.
Beautiful keys, washed in a liquid shimmer, announce themselves with a kind of melancholic amusement, their call-and-response motif tightening the tension as soft curls of synth wrap around each phrase.
After the first breakdown the full picture emerges: that call was summoning an enveloping bassline that settles over the track like shelter from the rain.
What follows is a melodic chain of events that pulls you in like a warm embrace, holding you there as the energy rises and the track reveals the quiet beauty it’s been hinting at all along.
