Claudio Cornejo (AR) 'Ocean Vibes' on Univack

The "Ocean Vibes" journey continues with a top-tier addition to Univack's ranks, where the label's release streak on the platform remains nothing short of relentless. Claudio Cornejo (AR) steps in for his first release on Univack with the Extended Mix of "Ocean Vibes", a track that lands with all the late-afternoon gravitas of its namesake.

It opens on waves of airy pads and a mellow synth, before a sluggish beat and a serious of stuttered chords ease the body in. The top end shimmers with melodic droplets while the kick and bass hold the warm undercurrent together. Nothing here is forced; it moves in that unhurried, hypnotic way that suggests a certain confidence in the groove.

The Extended Mix feels properly proportioned for the long Tulum afternoons, it drifts when it should, locks in when it shouldn't. Given Univack's output this year, the label's velocity is one thing, but the consistency is quite another; there's a knowing curation at play here.
