Editorial Reviews

Senor Coconut, (German producer and DJ), now based in Chile, originally burst onto the international music scene with "El Baile Aleman", an acclaimed tribute to electronica pioneers Kraftwerk. He returns with "Around The World", taking the listener on a global tour through a collection of Latin tributes to club hits. Features Daft Punk's seminal track of the same name, and takes on the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" and Prince's "Kiss".

This is definitely the best Senor Coconut album in years - clever mix of catchy lounge, Latin kitsch and electronica. Well worth picking up!

I have become a major Senor Coconut/Üwe Schmidt fan in recent years, ever since discovering his disk of brilliant Kraftwerk covers. The man may be a studio whiz and master of digital electronics, but he is no geek. Üwe Schmidt is an supremely talented musician, with real soul and, equal to his musicianship, a sly sense of humor. So many stage names, such great titles: "Sounds like Preset Rhythm," "All Notes On," "Son of a Glitch."

This record is a joy. It features loving, swinging Latin-style covers of several well-known US/English pop songs (Prince, Eurythimics, Trio, etc.) but when the band kicks into the famous Latin dance tune "Que Rico El Mambo," you know they are the real thing.

Schmidt calls it Electrolatino, but this is truly great music.

ever since I heard the kraftwerk tribute album, I have been hooked on Senor Cocounts sound. A German in Chile that makes music as unique as this deserves even more attention. Around the World is stunning !
