Cúrame by Ivan de la Rouch & Mike Sacchetti remixes by Amarcord, Skelesys, Mufti & Rigopolar
Next up on Play Pal we are proud to present and welcome for the first time, to Logical Rec. label honchos Ivan De La Rouch & Mike Sacchetti with their EP 'Cúrame', Spanish for ‘Heal Me’, which is certainly a product of its time in an uncertain world.
The title track pumps from the opening bars with a dark psychedelic guitar foundation that builds into a distorted chanting sound palette, punctuated by snares and claps which fuses punk aesthetics with analogue sound and a timely message to go with it.
The second track ‘Moving’ keeps to a similar tempo, while adjusting the rhythm of the bass and leaning towards Bladerunner-esque, synths, pads, retro-future squelches and bleeps sliding between the trademark guitar sounds of the two producers.
We also welcome for the first time to Amarcord, who keeps the guitars in his spin on 'Cúrame' or 'Curami' as he re-recorded the vocals in his native Italian tongue, but adding his own proto, rhythmic analogue inspired spin on affairs, with more ethereal synths, shifting the EBM down slightly and twisting up the synth lines to dramatic effect.
Skelesys raises the tempo with his take on 'Cúrame', keeping the vocals but bringing the drums and reworking the original into a peak time EBM inspired work out that breaks down before hitting out in the second half, with twisted arpeggios and echoed vocals in a unique reworking of the original.
Mufti continues to raise the bar on his production career with his take on 'Moving', which chimes, growls and grows, as the track swivels and sways through a series of peaks, creating a dark brooding atmospheric piece, which adds yet another layer of urgency to the EP.
Finally, another friend and regular of Play Pal, Rigopolar, reworks 'Moving' adding a punishing synth hook, a shuddering basseline, keeping the original vocals but with a menacing faster paced workout where guitar and cowbell dance together, uneasily and ritualistically.
