Album Review: "6 PM" by DJ Fronter – A Colombian House Gem That Still Hits in 2023
Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into 6 PM, the groovy little number from DJ Fronter that dropped way back in 2012. This Colombian wizard of beats teamed up with The Room label to gift us an electronic masterpiece dripping with house and tech-house vibes. It’s not just an album—it’s a vibe, man. Let me break it down for ya.
First off, let’s talk about the OG track, “6 PM.” If you’ve ever been stuck in traffic at golden hour and thought, “Man, this is kinda beautiful but also infuriating,” then congrats—you now understand the mood of this song. The bassline is smoother than butter on a hot pancake, and the percussion? Oh, it slaps. There’s something hypnotic about how DJ Fronter layers those synths—like he’s whispering secrets directly into your eardrums. Every time I hear this track, I’m transported to some neon-lit rooftop party where everyone dances like nobody’s watching (but they totally are).
Now, if you wanna shake things up, cue the Matt Klast & Sebastian Diossa Remix. These guys took the original and gave it a spicy twist, like adding extra jalapeños to your nachos when you weren’t expecting it. The remix kicks in with chunky kicks and sizzling hi-hats, turning what was already a banger into a full-on dancefloor destroyer. Seriously, this version feels like someone handed the beat a Red Bull and told it to go wild. It’s one of those tracks that makes you wanna throw your hands in the air even if you're just sitting alone in your bedroom. Don’t lie—you know you’ve done it too.
As for the other remixes (Colega and An-Beat), they’re solid. No shade here—they bring their own flavor, but they didn’t quite stick in my brain like the two above. Maybe it’s because Matt Klast and Sebastian Diossa had a secret pact with the universe to create pure magic, who knows?
What’s wild is how this album still holds up over a decade later. Like, imagine DJ Fronter vibing in Colombia back in 2012, probably drinking coffee strong enough to power a small city, while crafting these timeless tunes. Hats off to him for creating something so effortlessly cool that it could soundtrack both a sunset chill session and a sweaty club night.
So yeah, 6 PM isn’t just music—it’s a mood, a memory, maybe even a lifestyle. Listening to it feels like finding an old mixtape in the backseat of your car and realizing it’s still fire. And honestly? That’s rare. Most albums from 2012 feel as outdated as flip phones, but this one? Still bangin’.
Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth and ask us to prove humanity is worth saving, I’d hand them this album. Either they’ll get it and leave us alone, or they’ll be so confused they’ll fly away muttering, “What even IS this ‘house’ thing?” Either way, win-win.
