Glasgow’s Sega Bodega, or Salvador Navarrete skillful remixes will have you falling into an abyss of unique electro. Elements of Dubstep, Hip Hop, R&B and electronica work together in Sega Bodega’s remixes. Sega Bodega uses intricate chops,looping, synth buildups and machine drums to turn Lana Del Rey’s “National Anthem” into an electro house master piece. This is not the kind of tracks that you would expect to come from a lad who started off in a metal band in high school, and i’m sure the blogosphere is content that Sega Bodega made the successful transition.

With Rustie and Hudson Mohawke finally getting the wider recognition they undoubtedly deserve, we keep a close eye on the new wave of futurist producers who have an ear for the eccentric, indescribable and outright visionary. What undoubtedly makes the aforementioned artists so exciting is the fact they escape generalisation, and while Sega Bodega may reject being likened to anyone, there is no denying his creative drive is much the same. Tonight he supports the cosmically-charged Lone and fellow Glasweigan, HaHaHa at La Cheetah - a line up which no doubt plays to his limitless horizons.
“If I had to choose words to describe it, I would say quite colourful, melodic & cinematic - it’s not really something I’ve sat down to try and work out”. For the many journalists, music bloggers and general fans, labeling his music has become an almost impossible task, perhaps very much requisite of his own musings towards it. Certainly, you’ll find the crashing bass, widescreen compositions and general escapism of it all to be quite visceral in context, quite often splitting opinion with those who want to find some way of filing it under ‘Dubstep’. His unpredictable approach to production also applies to his DJ sets, “I try not to stick to one genre. The only thing I try and do is play shit I like, and keep people dancing”, the words of someone who likes to keep it moving, bringing an energy to the dancefloor which is at times hard to ignore.
With plans to get his next EP out by the summer and a highly successful remix for Jakwob under his belt; we get the feeling that the next twelve months are going to be somewhat of a revelation for Salavador Navarrete, never mind the rest of us…

You know when you stumble across one of those songs that hits you so hard it feels like Nyan Cat is running deep into the abyss of your cochlea in the most wonderful way? That’s what happened with this Glasgow-born DJ/Producer.
Sega Bodega is a bit of a musical enigma, he’s played amongst some of UK Bass’s greats such as Rustie and SBTRKT, and similar to SBTRKT, he’s been hiding his identity (hence the picture of the back of his head).
Here, he’s remixed Lana Del Rey‘s “National Anthem“. To me Lana Del Rey is a little depressing, but her voice translates perfectly when remixed (here are a few other remixes of her: 1 | 2 ). What Sega Bodega has managed to do is create an intense futuristic amalgamation of hip hop & dubstep complete with rainbow-infused synth-chime build-ups that any long-running DJ would be proud of.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled as he’s bound to clamber up into the mainstream. - In The Name Of (ITNO)
Glasgow’s Salvador Navarrete makes awesome weirdo productions under the name Sega Bodega and puts not awesome fucking wtf artwork on his uploads.
His version of Lana Del Rey‘s “National Anthem” leads the iconic songstress into another dimension, filled with horn blasts, rapid-fire hi-hats and vocal cut-ups.
It’s pop music for the end of the world.
Listen to the remix bellow, out July 8th on Polydor: - Nashville Nights

Bio
Hailing from Glasgow and currently residing in Barcelona, Salvador Navarette has earned praise over the past year for his skilful and entirely original remixing ability. With his debut EP dropping at the end of the year, expect cinematic sequences driven by futuristic two-step and hiphop sounds.
His music conjures up heartfelt emotions with a cinematic tenderness as if what you are listening to is destined to accompany a film on the big screen from an epic sci-fi film to a compelling drama. Segas approach to creating music successfully combines many elements of differing styles, allowing him to create one complete sound that truly is his own.
With acclaim from the likes of Mad Decent, Radio 1 and Inverted Audio as well as official remixes for Jakwob and Lana Del Ray under his belt, Sega looks to be taking everything in it's stride heading into 2013.
