DC Promo Tracks #754: Manolo "Amalfi Drive" (Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca IOSSO Remix)

It is always a pleasure to review a track from a friend, especially when this friend is someone you know for almost 20 years: Bernardo Pinheiro, back in the days in our hometown, Belém do Pará, used to make a then beardless young dinosaur dance like a maniac with his classy samba-infused Drum N’ Bass DJ sets, but now, featuring a different sonority, we can lose ourselves to dance to something less chaotic and turbulent, more suitable to our current age.

Over the years, Bernardo finally decided to use his long-held Brazilian Funk & Boogie influences to evolve as a multifaceted and versatile artist, establishing himself as the most influential name in the Nu Disco scene in the North of the country. The national (and at a certain point international) fame came when his works were released on the mighty label Barefoot Beats.

For his debut on the interesting Cocada Music, Bernardo delivers a high-quality single called “Run Free” in which he showcases the absurd evolution he has experienced as a producer, skilfully bringing together a part of his affluent music background and blending Tim Maia with Azymuth, Marcos Valle, and Lincoln Olivetti in order to provide something with, yes, an old school aura, but extremely fresh and invigorating.

The Original and Disco Mixes come accompanied by a stunning remix made with love by Rio de Janeiro-based Carrot Green. His Spacefunk Dub interpretation covers “Run Free” with a layer of cosmic elements as if Daniele Baldelli were buoyantly flirting with the concoction of Samba and Stardust, and the result is a slower but highly danceable piece. For the fans of modern Rare Grooves out there, this is a must-have, peeps!

PREMIERE232 // Bernardo Pinheiro - Run Free (Carrot Green Spacefunk Dub)

DAS KOMPLEX - STILL THOUGH

Label : @abstrack-records

The Balek Band’s first album, Médecines, is the product of a magma of influences, the emanation of large decade of music infused lives. The emotional tessitura is wide: the dark meadows of “The Balek Bad” reach us through like a mantra from the end of a dark tunnel, while just three track earlier it was a caribbean Zouk euphoria which ruled the world. Inbetween, it’s a wide spectrum of hybrid epiphanies : Hagen & Again is a progressive Dub jewel, even Krauty to an extent, where the instruments play the lead role. Cosmic Barry is across the Channel : thick and broken club music, sweating with subs, yet always disputing it to the Funk accent of the the keys and the slap bass. This list of Geographical and stylistic hybridations simplys goes on, and it’s the XX minutes of the album that put an end to it. But beyond the never-ending list, this first album is alive : its gets us breathing the therapeutical air which fills the world of its creators.

Le premier album, Médecines, de The Balek Band est le produit d'un magma d'influences, l'émanation d'une grosse décennie de vies traversées par la musique. Dans l'orbite de la communauté Abstrack, la danse et la fête ne sont jamais loin : dans Médecines, elle dessinent l'ossature multicolore d’un corps traversé par des impulsions aussi fortes que diverses. La tessiture émotionnelle est large : les brumes obscures de The Balek Bad nous parviennent comme un mantra chanté du fond d'un tunnel, alors que trois pistes plutôt, c’était l'euphorie Zouk caribéenne qui semblait indépassable. Entre les deux, un large spectre de fulgurances hybrides : Hagen & Again est un bijou Dub progressif, presque Kraut, où les instruments sont au centre du jeu. L’outre Manche est incarnée dans Cosmic Barry : club musique épaisse et breakée, qui transpire le sub, mais dialogue en fil rouge avec les accents Funk portés par les claviers et la basse slapée. L’énumération des hybridations spatiales et stylistiques continue presque indéfiniment, et n’est finalement limitée que par les XX minutes de l’album. C’est le temps écoulé qui semble donc être la limite à cet incroyable projet, tout comme il en avait été le catalyseur, s’offrant en quantités pléthoriques au groupe, lors des premiers confinements.

Médecines

02 The Balek Band - Charbon Alcool

Label favourites Balearic Ensemble return to the fore following last summer’s spectacular ‘Cachonda’ EP, this time with a 12” treasury of wonderful, eclectic dancing music of the highest balearic order. They’re joined by Das Komplex, notable for recent excursions on DJ Harvey’s Mercury Rising, to round out their five-track excursion for the label: this is the Mediterráneo EP.

Opener ‘Pitiusas First’ sets the tone with dizzy, downbeat percussions as a bass guitar skates and glissades underfoot; soaring, starry-eyed synth work and Latin organ stabs in concerto. This homage to the islands and islets of Ibiza comes with a note of melancholy, or nostalgia: waking up to find that your best years might have evaded you - and celebrating the fact. It’s a maturing of the Residentes sound in a way we haven’t heard before; a gorgeous moonlight serenade, the last tango on Formentera, and a tip for orange-tinted sunsets all summer long.

Second track ‘Almendros y Drones’ takes us deeper into the throes of that distinctive Mediterranean sound with dizzying arpeggios and analogue bass over teetering hihats and fizzing synths; it’s an eruptive, volcanic beast of a track that will take liberties with your dancefloor. Over-the-top filter action and driving piano perforations, crashing snares and resonant howls, Almendros, Drones.

The third offering is ‘Mojada’, taking cues from classic deep house with its deep-set bassline and modular squeaks. It’s a slow burner, an aquaplane on Eivissa, cueing 303 squelches and 90s drum machine riffing before its eventual, explosive peak.

After Mojada we enter the chugging, gritty realm of Das Komplex’s remixes. He refashions the heady throes of ‘Mojada’ into a driving, churning unit; percussions, distorted into infinity; basslines bent and buckled into submission; slabs of piano lathered with space echo delay. Wonky late-nite dancing music at its very best.

Extra treat: Das Komplex also left us his ‘Pineapple Bonus Mix’ of Mojada, which is a more sunset-suited affair altogether. This special mix lasers in on that exuberant piano part, then plays with percussions and dynamics to create a full-on dub version of the original track. An essential version from Das Komplex - digi only!

Glasgow’s Ali Herron has long been a mark of quality with his OOFT! moniker. Originally running the L.E.S.S. Productions imprint alongside The Revenge, with excursions onto labels such as Instruments of Rapture, Delusions of Grandeur and Wolf Music Ali’s steady stream of solid output moves deftly between slo-mo disco and classic house sounds. It’s the latter style that infects his Clandestino EP. Rich, lush Detroit flecked textures, sun dappled reflective cuts and soaring emotive house music all combine for a wonderfully warm EP fit for an array of moods. Clandestino don their night and day hats with their remixes, turning out both a slightly more energised take and a blissed out version respectively.
