WeiszÇ – El Vagabundo feat. Pablo J (Luv Lite Recordings)
Austria’s Luv Lite Recordings returns with a new single from sibling pair Sascha & Andi Weisz AKA WeiszÇ backed with remixes from Scan Mode and Jepe…
Sascha Weisz has been making musical waves for some time now with his unique take on House music, influenced by elements of Afrobeat, techno and electronica. Recording as Megablast and often pairing up with fellow producer Makossa he has build a solid reputation for productions that fuse an intelligent technical approach with the true spirit of the dancefloor and in the process has become one of Austria’s key dance music exports.
Now Sascha pairs up with his younger brother Andi who has recently started producing alongside production partner Michi Schrenk as WEISZ&SCHRENK. Together the brothers have adopted the apt moniker WeiszÇ and here pool their considerable musical talents to create the sunkissed and excellent ‘El Vagabundo’ alongside guitarist Pablo J and percussionist Christian Einheller. The release opens with the original version, an afrobeat infected, bass driven slice of House with scattered percussion and ricocheting synth stabs providing the basis for Pablo J’s heavenly Andalusian guitar parts. The first of the remixes sees Cadenza Lab artist Scan Mode drop things a little deeper with a stripped back reworking that draws on a rolling loop to provide the backing for the distinctive guitar. Finally Portugal’s Jepe delivers two superb versions in the shape of the intense and cosmic ‘Intercontinental Plentary mix’ and the housier ‘Red Sand Mix’.
This is another winning package from the Luv Lite imprint and a great introduction to the musical pairing of the brothers Weisz.
WeiszÇ – El Vagabundo feat. Pablo J (Luv Lite Recordings) out 10th March 2014
