DUTARI and ADD 2CART join forces on “Music Matters,” a collaboration that encapsulates the essence of modern Tech House: precision, groove, and message. Crazy Nutz Music curates this encounter, cementing its reputation as a go-to platform for refined and functional club sounds in the European underground. With a creative direction that spans visual design to editorial strategy, the label has built a strong identity, positioning itself among the most respected in the scene.
DUTARI contributes a transatlantic vision shaped by years of experience across Buenos Aires, Mexico, and Ibiza. His journey from progressive and trance into a more minimalist, groove-focused Tech House has forged a distinctive sound identity, tested in clubs such as Cova Santa, Pacha Barcelona, Mute Mar del Plata, and global venues like Pacha Ibiza. His releases on Be One Records, Happy Techno, Circus Recordings, and My Techno Weighs a Ton have earned support from names like Wade, Miguel Bastida, and Joseph Capriati.
ADD 2CART, on the other hand, is synonymous with technical strength and conceptual focus. With over three decades of combined experience, the duo has released on labels such as Baikonur Recordings, Not for Us, and Trax Mission. Their style merges minimal tech, house funk, and functional Tech House, inspired by artists like Gorge and Nick Curly. Their DJ sets are known for their impact across both Argentine and European circuits.
The lead track, “Music Matters,” lays down a firm, dry bassline with a powerful sub-frequency presence, setting the stage for a spoken vocal with old school flow. The narrative recalls West Coast ideologies, Tupac's philosophy, and mental strategy as a tool for transformation. The vocal sits front and center, unembellished, offering a sense of immediacy and authenticity. The groove remains stable yet dynamic, with secondary percussion adding character without cluttering the mix.
“Witza,” the second cut, introduces a melodic layer with a smartly used rhythmic trumpet that adds texture, flavor, and versatility. This instrumental element dialogues with introspective, content-rich vocals: “New mentality, yeah it’s got me ready for war” resonates as a statement of intent in a sonic environment that blends urban grit with introspection and rhythm. Technically, every layer is calibrated to function on high-end club systems without sacrificing expressiveness.
With this EP, Crazy Nutz Music delivers more than two club-ready tracks—it presents a cohesive editorial vision with aesthetic direction and conceptual depth. The pairing of two internationally seasoned artists and a strategically-minded label results in a release that resonates not just on the dancefloor but also in the minds of discerning listeners.
