Although his stage name makes him sound like he should be in a 70s Scorsese movie, in reality Deniro is the work of Dutch producer Reynier Hooft van Huijsduijnen. On Mendoza, he draws on the rich heritage of techno from the Netherlands. The ethereal pads of “700” could be Orlando Voorn or Steve Rachmad in truly reflective mode, “Tribe” recalls Stefan Robbers at his most visceral – the Acid Junkies project – while the spooky dub techno of “Don Dino” could easily pass for early, pre-big room Joris Voorn work. That’s not to suggest that Deniro is merely aping others, and on “Disobedient” and “Missing Keys”, he teases new shapes from techno minimalism.
