Please meet Julian Brody, one of the best underground producers from Mexico, via Los Angeles.In this EP, Brody shows a wide range of influences that end up on a very funky, dancefloor filler electropop extravaganza. The title can be traslated as “close and smooth” and plays on words with the cliches of “sexy”, very common in pop music marketing strategies.

“Addicted” features N.A.A.D.A.  from L.A, who also wrote the lyrics. She provides a solid, fast-paced singing on top of analog, acid-like overlapped melodies. The electro-ish drone and bassline and the simple but effective beats give as a result a great groovy track that could be described as what happened to pop after minimal.

The same could be said about “Suavecito Pegadito”, featuring Leika Mochán from Mexico City. This track brings back some fun to dance music, with the ironic use of the voice as a sexy hook although the final line says “ don’t be afraid if I scream”. As in “Addicted”, Brody processes a bunch of elements that come straight from electro, acid house and pop music in a contemporary fashion.

Monopolar’s “Suavecito Pegadito” remix is a stripped-down version that only keeps some melodic keypoints to build the groove from a different angle.

After many years on the production field Julian Brody manages to deliver simplicity and rhythmic wisdom in this new Pantamuzik package. We are proud to release this new showcase of his very personal ideas about how dance music works. Keep an eye on this forthcoming release.
