BARRETSO – CELESTE EP (ElectroSynth/Club – Chile)

Chilean dreamwave wizard Barretso (born Francisco Cofré de la Fuente) first showed up on our radar at the beginning of 2010 and in just over a year his buzz factor has literally exploded! Both his original tracks and his remixes for the likes of Justice, Minitel Rose, Gemini Club and The Vanish have managed to propel him to the forefront of the electro scene.

After the critically acclaimed Bright City Lights EP (released in April 2010), Barretso is now finally almost ready to introduce his new record, Celeste EP, which will be out in late Spring. As if we weren’t already shivering with anticipation, Barretso has decided to tease with a new song taken off the forthcoming EP. He dropped it a few days ago on his Soundcloud and it instantly created a shock wave amongst his numerous fans.
