Dubesque and Funk 78 switch it for the follow up to their stripped down Strictly debut, Chico. Where its predecessor is all icy cool minimalism, Pilar bursts forth with Cubano heat, sweltering percussion, melting melodies and sultry Spanish vocals. A kind of familiar acoustic guitar lick leads the musical line, while the female spoken word vocals lend a languid feel that’s a counterpoint to the swirls of Latin percussion. Dubesque land Funk 78’s Club mix ramps it up with an added layer of live drums, leaving Stuttgart’s Johannes Brecht to get jiggy with the studio trickery for an alternative dubbed out delight.
Dimitri Kechagias reviews: The exceptional record label Strictly Rhythm is responsible through the years for many club classics presents the amazing release by Dubesque & Funk 78 called Pilar and is absolutely mouthwatering production that explodes on the dancefloor. The package includes 3 top versions to pick up and mix in your own dj set. The Club mix is a stunning deep tech house journey that will mesmerise and definitely win the clubbers straight away. Live like percussion with incredible drums, Latin guitar riffs, deep basslines and brilliant female vocals. Its warm like the summer breeze and refreshing like the cold wild sea waves. Expect to hear it a lot in the summer clubs and Miami Music Conference. Johannes Brecht Remix stripes down the track to its basics and delivers an exceptional minimal dubby tech house version with the irresistible latin rhythm, piano chords, tribal bubbly beats and funky deep basslines. In the main section a huge synthy riff is introduced to raise the excitement and support the track to create havoc on clubs and open air festivals. The vocal appears only on the short breakdown and the final section continues minimal but with aggressive edges as well. Very danceable and creative playful version that will engage the audience for sure. Lastly the Original mix starts with quite long intro of around 2 minutes with just the percussion and the cool spoken female vocal samples. The main section is so beautiful, warm and sunny with all the main elements working together in perfect harmony for an exotic journey on the dancefloor! Very special & high class release! #PureGold Love iT
