At Pantamuzik, we are glad to introduce our 11th EP: Point EP (PNTMZK011) delivered by Mild Bang, who is a talented Mexican musician and producer. He’s been playing and releasing his own tracks since many years, on different labels such as: Love Hertz, Substudio Records, Drag Music, Packed Music, Piso Records, Proton Ltd, Blaq Records, Miniatura Records, Pluse Code Recordings, and others.
ALO: The first track of this new EP has a strong house sound. A steady groove, and a sensual melody.
POINT: The track that bears the name of this album is more tech house oriented, and you can dance on each one of its beats.
POINT (Signal Deluxe Remix): And finally you’ll find this sensational remix of Signal Deluxe. This duo has a long history in this industry, and this time, they’re offering us a groovy tech house with their personal touch. This one if definitely sexy and dark at the same time, a real pleasure for your senses!
Pantamuzik is happy to introduce the new release of one of its biggest artists, Monopolar.
After a busy year producing other musicians and working with his dubstep band, Guajira, Humberto Polar returns to the dancefloor with this EP.
Camila (PNTMZK 010) is a clear statement of the constant evolution and hard work of this multifacetic artist. A hypnotic, deep vibe runs across the three tracks.
Camila, the title track, is inspired on his young daughter and the happiness of partying. A killer bassline keeps the groove all along the way and a myriad of tiny microsounds builds a subtle landscape.
Enanosis a stripped down, lean piece of techno. Again, the deepest bass groove acts as the vehicle for a ghostly melody with hypnotic effects.
The last track, Lobo, features a voice sample by the hip hop mexican star Eric El Niño and builds on great rhytmic latin patterns that evolve
Pantamuzik is proud to announce the release of “I Got A Dog”, by Nu.
Nu (a.k.a. Nushitzu) is Rolf Laumer, a Berlin-based producer and performer with a vast experience in the techno/house arena. He has released a number of tracks in labels such as White and Bar25 with remarkable critic success. He´s made a trademark of including some hints of his peruvian heritage (his mother is from Peru and he has spent some time in that country).In this EP, Nu travels through a refreshing ecclecticism that reflects in 3 diverse music approaches, stylewise.
The hypnotic “I Got A Dog” is based on a simple bassline and minimalistic beats, that grow as a snowball in a long, amazing way to the groove, to finally explode in a wicked, dancefloor monster without losing its simplicity. “Arequipa” features a horn section that is typical of peruvian andean music, paying tribute to one of the most beautiful regions of Peru through its music. “Cornuda” is produced vis-a-vis with peruvian musician Israel Vich and features an ancient instrument made of goat horns playing the main motif on top of groovy beats and trippy textures.
A fantastic EP that fits the latin-america aesthetic focus of Pantamuzik with high quality music.
Jerga y Valeria, the mexican couple known as Signal Deluxe are likely to be the most respected, prolific and talented production team in Mexico right now. Their releases cover a number of well respected european labels such as Persona Records, Thoughtless, Eintakt, Revolver, Abolipop, Brouqade, Dialtone, Sounds of Earth besides their releases in their own label, Blaq. They have also remixed artists such as Itzone, Giovanni Verga, Predrag Stevanovick, Leoncio, Kid Perra and many more.
“Yerba Buena” is their new production, made exclusively for the Pantamuzik catalog and featuring Grace (from Jahcoozi) on vocals. Their trademark beats, full of syncopation and hidden undertones, serve as a platform for sexy nuances, highly processed vocal samples and a really subtle approach to deep house music. The package comes with an a amazing remix of the title track from Franco Bianco, in a fun “Argentina meets Mexico” fashion, and two more tracks, “Salvia” and “Mango Lassi”.
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 Lauren Guerra 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.
“Orkestar” is an eclectic track that builds up on simple elements and reaches to a dramatic climax. Rooted on a rock solid drum and hihat pattern, a variety of little percussive parafernalia, played live, colors the track and leads us to dance heaven. A simple structure acts as a canvas for electronic, noisy melodic elements and a voice sample adds the right amount of intensity.
“Kurduca” is also a showcase for Toro’s mastery of percussive hooks. Innovative and deeply latin on its hihat work, a steady , barely melodic line runs over the whole track with great dancefloor effect. There are plenty of details such as hushed voices, spoken samples and glitchy undertones that result on a sophisticated, highly danceable contemporary track.
LA BOUCHE is the new EP written and produced by Monopolar, a Mexican-peruvian-colombian duo (bio attached).
The EP includes the original track, a rework made by the artists and a remix produced by NICONÉ (side project of Alexander Gerlach and S. Braemer, based in Berlin).
The original mix is very dark, enigmatic piece of tech house, heavily based on a syncopated Latin American rhythmic pattern as most of Monopolar music. The origins of this percussive structure lays on afro-colombian Pacific Coast music, and the sounds come from native instruments such as tinajo (tub bass), guasá (a bamboo tube filled with dry seeds), and quijada (jawbone). On top of this, Monopolar knits a techy soundscape through processed melodies, Cuban piano samples and a caribbean-french female voice saying “I´m kissing you in the mouth”. Everything is, though, aimed to the dancefloor and not obvious in the first listening.
The second track, “L’autre bouche”, is a more plain, hypnotic voiceless version, in which a steady vocoder-like melody builds up along the track with a minimal feel.
The Niconé Remix is a twisted version, based on the deconstruction of the vocals and dark, spooky moments, a very fun and weird approach to the original sounds with a deep bassdrum and beautiful synth work.
