Passion. Music. Emotion. Dance… Tango. Never before has a dance been so closely identified with the concept of the Tango. They say it takes two to Tango and this is very true within the sounds of Otros Aires' The New Sound of Tango - Modem Tango for the 21st Century. The music is a perfect blend of the classic sounds meets the new modern textures. Otros Aires blend modem ambient rhythms mixed with the classic sultry sounds of Argentine Tango. You can play this record at a party, at home alone, while drinking coffee on Sunday morning or when you and your lover are about to Tango!

The albums of the Buenos Aires / Paris series are a point of reference within the creative scene of electronic tango in Buenos Aires. Thanks to extensive research, Buenos Aires / Paris Troisième Voyage (the third volume of the saga) returns to present the most popular artists of this genre, with new tracks off of their most recent albums, material that has yet to be released and exclusive remixes. As we all know, electronic tango has developped into one of the new music styles of this century.
Electronic tango is causing an authentic revolution in the global music scene. Popular throughout the world, these discs are a must buy for the thousands of tourists who travel through Buenos Aires and other corners of the country where local aficionados are rediscovering their beloved music with a whole new sound. For those who have not yet visited Argentina, it is the latest in exotic electronic music and its status as ''hard to find'' makes it all the more desirable. The electronic tango rage has moved a number of artists to undertake new productions of true artistic value. In the midst of all this hype, Buenos Aires/Paris is the most important album of the genre, the defining double disc anthology with material from top musicians who have provided their best known tracks…
Following the notable impact of Volume 1, PMB returns from the challenge of researching and putting together a masterpiece to give us Buenos Aires - Paris 2, another fascinating compilation of the most outstanding songs and performers of the genre, which has positioned itself in the global market for electronic music as one of the most original new sounds of the 21ST century. In Buenos Aires - Paris we find artists that transcend the globe including Tanghotic, Carlos Libedinsky & Narcotango, Tanghetto, Otros Aires, Federico Aubele (who released his discs through Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, the record label belonging to the always influential Thievery Corporation), as well as the addition of two Argentine standouts, Jaime Torres and the talented Amelita Baltar (the voice of various musical pieces composed by Astor Piazzolla), who present us with Frio Intenso, a song that is just as new as it is musically innovative.

"This Argentinian outfit, now based in Berlin, has developed a distinctively new style of tango, influenced by jazz, contemporary classical music and electronica, while maintaining strong links with the dance form's rich traditions. The compositions are the key to their success - powerful and dramatic pieces (…) The production is sharp and clear throughout, with clever integration of acoustic and electronic sounds, but Almada and Iannaccone never lose the plot or the necessary emotion, throwing in all the grand gestures you expect from tango." 4/5 ~The Guradian
