Editorial Reviews

FACT Magazine

One of the electronic albums of the year from Chile’s answer to Derrick May

Product Description

Crosstown Rebels is proud to present its first artist album Familia by producer extraordinaire Pier Bucci.

Already something of a legend, Pier Bucci along with fellow countrymen Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano have lead the recent emergence of cutting edge electronica in Chile – producing some of the finest and most original works in the world. This Chilean trio is writing a new chapter of dance music, splicing traditional South American melody and rhythm with conventional electronic music to create an infectious hybrid.

Pier Bucci has previously recorded with Argenis Brito as Mambotur, with Argenis and Luciano as Monne Autonme, and he co-produced last year’s Lucien & Luciano’s album Blind Behaviour – but it’s with Crosstown Rebels he’s branched out as a solo artist working under his own name.

A masterpiece from an artist at the top of his game, Familia features 10 brand new and exclusive tracks creating the perfect balance of headphone sensibility and dancefloor abandon.

This review is from: Familia (Audio CD)

Pier Bucci offers a little tech-house gem with FAMILIA. Though its structure is familiar: beat, with some long synths and melody laid on top, Bucci does manage to change it up enough to make it unique. "Tita" has a gentle lyric -- a little wobbly around the edges -- to introduce a softness to the track, which the rhythm on "Towers" is more subdued, almost to the point of a suggestion, but it morphs into the more beat-y "The R-8 Moog" which has a simple, spare synth atop. The vocals return for "L Nuit," but they're even more ghostly the second time around -- that is, until the dark buzz and acid line take over. The heavy thump continues into "Jess" and "Hay Consuelo," the latter augmented by some Spanish vocals. By the time "Siberia" comes pounding in, you're well-entranced by the percolating melodies. The tempo goes down for "Pipostrack" and "Hydra" has a lovely liquid wobble to it. You just can't say no to family!
