The thread in el diablo's sound speaks of an artist design with a strong signature, an interesting blend of industrial and electronica/world shapes and sounds.
The music evolves with tension and resolve while draped with a inventive layer of mystery.
He deftly guides the listener through segues of sound and imagery yet never quite revealing the secret to the recipe.
like a good magician, he remains in charge and the audience trusts he'll take us close enough to the danger without harm... an intriguing ride into the unknown... - Taxi Reviews
