Review by Henry Nomso

Maria Chavez's Tour Sampler is a captivating album that showcases the artist's experimental soundscapes and unique approach to turntablism. The album features live recordings from various performances, providing listeners with a glimpse into Chavez's dynamic and improvisational style.

From the opening track, "Live at Issue Project Room," Chavez's mastery of the turntable is evident. She uses the device to create intricate textures and patterns, blending scratching, looping, and sampling techniques to produce a mesmerizing sonic landscape.

Throughout the album, Chavez's sound evolves as she explores different sonic territories. "Live at Cafe OTO" features a more subdued, atmospheric sound, while "Live at Tusk Festival" takes on a more aggressive, abrasive tone.
