It was something of a travesty that Pier Buccis 2005 FamiliaELP didnt find a larger audience. A beautifully-constructed, textured epic which flowed organically from detailed, dubby soundscapes to no-nonsense dancefloor b-lines and rhythms (often in the space of the same track), it was perhaps the most perfectly formed and effective techno album of the year. But the lack of a proper vinyl release (were still waitingE means that its taken a while to seep into the public consciousness.
Crosstown Rebels, the label Bucci calls home, has gone some way to making amends this year by issuing a pair of sterling remix 12s, the first of which featured bass-heavy interpretations by Dominik Eulberg and Dandy Jack that did serious damage to the clubs back in Spring. The second chapter is even worthier of your attention.
Its headed up by fizzing tech-houser Hay ConsuelaE(the original, as it appears on FamiliaE, but its the B-sides youll want: new Bucci production InstinctEis a deep tech-steppa that starts as a solid rhythmic workout but ends as hands-aloft anthem, thanks to an addictive, rising synth line reminiscent of Gui Borattos ArquipelagoE The real winner, though, is mind-bending version of Hay ConsuelaE wherein the Tuning Spork and Fuckpony man strips the perhaps overly fussy original down to a chugging, stylish and dryly jacking groove, giving the haunting Latin vocal more room to breathe. The result is a late night/early morning sure shot.
