Just a matter of weeks remain until producer-slashstrokecum-legend Sandy Rivera’s next studio opus The Blackwiz Farm hits the audio-sphere. The Brooklyn-born, now Polish resident releases a second single to whet the appetite and increase the hype around what is building up to be one of the most hotly anticipated long players of 2010.
Cosmo Bar is a lesson in delicate techno finesse. Reverberating rhythms layer the lower end of the track, pizzicato strings gradually moving, stabbing, developing and duplicating their way towards a driving, hypnotic and elegantly crafted central theme.
In a world with enough wobbling basslines and abrasive beats to sink a battle ship, Rivera delivers a master class in intelligent production technique, proving you don’t need to make jump-up party bangers to give that tough edge – it’s a course that sees him steering even deeper into the progressive-techno heartland of his current Eastern-European musical obsession.
Cosmo Bar is released globally on Blackwiz Records on 19th April 2010.
