Aerea Negrot – Macuto (Wareika Remix)From BPC252 Aerea Negrot – Macuto EPRelease Date: 28.05.2012Label: Bpitch ControlBPC Webshop: https://www.bpitchcontrol.de/market/browse/6440The Venezuelan artist Aérea Negrot is certainly a phenomenon: the influences that form the basis of her music could not be more sharply opposed; her presence is physical and elf-like in equal measure; her tracks make dizzying transitions between techno, house, experimental electronica, opera and spoken word. And yet it is hard to imagine a more coherent album than her simply brilliant BPC debut "Arabxilla". After several extremely successful and highly regarded single releases, her current masterpiece "Macuto" contains almost exclusively new material in EP form.The title track transforms Aérea's musical cornerstones into a distinctive collage of Latin American polyrhythms, house beats and jazz elements, carried by an electronically modified vocal performance that is guaranteed to give you goose pimples. The track features musical support from Aérea's live percussionist and Cadenza artist Miguel Toro.All four remixers on the EP, each in their own personal and distinctive manner, have placed this avant-garde piece on noticeably firmer ground. Wareika, the poster boys of Hamburg, known for their albums on Perlon and Connaisseur as well as their EPs on Eskimo, Circus Company and Liebe*Detail, pair "Macuto's" spooky vocals with a sturdy electro beat, creating a potential after-party classic.The Italian DJ and producer duo System Of Survival, whose "headquarters" is in Ibiza, will shortly release their own EP "Rough Everytime" on BPitch. Their remix shifts the bizarre atmosphere of the original into the background in favour of epic, spacious pads. An extremely crisp and funky beat provides the drive, and about a third of the way through the track makes a move towards the dancefloor with straight-up deep house elements.Franco Cinelli is rightly considered by many as Argentina's number 1 DJ/producer. His Cassius remix made its way via Panorama Bar and Melt Festival to the status of 2011's big summer hit. His "Macuto" version goes from nought to one hundred in exactly one beat, making its mark as a smooth but punchy house groove."Planta Baja" gives us the logical continuation of Aérea Negrot's stylistic playfulness: at first the straight 808 beat cleverly fools us into hearing a tech-house prototype, but this is quickly transformed into a wild Latin American party using boisterous fiesta vocals and copious percussion. System of Survival also help "Planta Baja" achieve maximum dancefloor presence with a thoroughly stripped-down, bone-dry remix.Makode's mix of the song "Todeloo", known to listeners from the album, expertly disguises it in angular electro beats – a perfect fit for Aérea's furious settling of family scores. The EP's outstanding production comes courtesy of San Francisco-based engineer and programmer Mark Pistel, whose credits include illustrious names such as Consolidated, Meat Beat Manifesto, Hector Zazou and Grace Jones.
