DJ Python aka Brian Piñeyro is a New York based DJ and Producer, who makes a wonderful variety of electronic music. It’s labeled as leftfield on beatport but, that doesn’t do it justice – it’s a wonderful mix of ambient, alternative percussive elements and breakbeat drums. A majority of his songs are under 120bpm as well which make them great for more chilled out day sessions.
q.e.p.d is taken from his album Dulce Compania which came out in 2017 on as the first release on the Incienso label. Incienso was founded by Anthony Napels and Jenny Slattery (according to RA). q.e.p.d is an excellent dichotomy between dreamy, floating dubby sounding synths and a mechanical drum machine, it makes you feel like you’re having an outer body experience in a factory and all you can hear is the machine’s rhythmically working away below you. It starts off with the rhythmic drum machine pounding away a simple beat with a rolling beep layered over the top of it (sorry I know it’s a poor description but I can’t think of any other way of describing it) and a regular thump of bass hitting every 1st and 3rd notes. Behind the noise of the drum machines you can hear a swirl of synths coming in hard and then slowly degrading into the next stab of synth. These are then joined by a maraca shaking and the introduction of more severe sounding synths over the top of the swirling backdrop. The synths that come in are more a kin to the breakdown in a techno-trancey song but, they’re used in such as way as to give a progression element to the song by coming and going rather than overpowering it.
As you might be able to tell I really like this one. I only found it the other day and just needed to share it.
q.e.p.d is available on bandcamp
