Tu Color a Lápiz marks a new chapter for LADOSUR and a defining statement from Zaid Acib. Born in 2001 and shaped by hip hop, groove, and techno, Zaid’s sound emerges from a deep relationship with sampling and percussion, where rhythm acts as both structure and expression.
As LSBA005, this release represents a turning point for the label, diving deeper into a more defined sonic and visual identity. The EP balances raw, dancefloor-focused energy with a growing interest in texture, space, and vinyl-oriented sound design. Each track moves between functional pressure and exploratory detail, maintaining a strong connection to the roots of techno while pushing toward a personal, unmistakable voice.
Inspired by artists such as Sol Ortega, FJAAK, Michel Lauriola, E110101, Volpe (AR) and others, Tu Color a Lápiz channels a distinctly Argentine sensibility — gritty, rhythmic, and emotionally charged. The grooves are direct and physical, yet never static, unfolding through layered percussion, subtle sampling, and carefully controlled tension.
Currently expanding his work into the vinyl format without abandoning the club-focused mindset, Zaid Acib positions this EP as both a tool for the dancefloor and a reflection of an evolving artistic identity. With Tu Color a Lápiz, LADOSUR continues to strengthen its role as a platform for emerging South American artists, connecting underground narratives across continents through sound, rhythm, and experimentation.
