toribio: brown cocoa skin
Francisco Espregueira
Hailing from Brooklyn, the DJ, producer and instrumentalist TORIBIO has become a main character in the big apple’s night scene due to DJ sets, live shows and the “Bring Dat Ass” moments that ooze rhythm and heart. Following Capicua! EP, released by The Jazz Diaries in 2019, we focus in the Dominican-American’s new record that just dropped via the newly created Real Feel Records.
Brown Cocoa Skin is chock full of lush, swingy tracks built for the dancefloor. Through the three original tracks we can hear a myriad of influences, must like the ones that guide his parties. Those are packed inside a very interesting EP that gains its own life as a genre-less entity “interested in moving bodies and feeding the feel-good, all while keeping honesty and emotion at the forefront”. TORIBIO says it all as he starts cementing a status. Brown Coca Skin is available on vinyl and has a special monster remix by the legendary DJ Spinna.
