Benny Loco - Set EP

Set is a seven-track EP from Benny Loco (Ian Guthrie), a producer coming out of Boulder, CO, and bridges the gap from his first LP, Just Some Beats Vol. 1, and his second, Rise (2012).  Apparent in this latest effort by Benny is his knack for precision left-field beatsmithing, wonky time signatures and—storytelling.  By storytelling, I suggest that this music contains more than just a beat to spit over or dance to.  A good tune should be like a good story.  Take a novel, for example.  Every time you read a novel, you should experience a different story.  Although the words of the novel are the same as when you originally read the piece, we apply the life experiences we’ve accumulated since the last read into the current reading.  This in short can define “good storytelling”—does it offer something new?  In Set EP (and other works), Benny Loco captures this essence of good storytelling in musical format, with tracks ideal for the contemplation of life, art, other peculiarities of humanity (or just for nodding your head). 

Celebrating the release of his latest EP, Set (Bandcamp, 2011), be sure to check Benny in Boulder on November 20^th, with D.V.S* and Paul Basic.
