Guti - Red Eye (Loco Dice & Priku Remixes) [Cuttin' Headz]

"Red Eye" is the second track off Guti’s highly anticipated album, "The Year Of The Conga." It is the first artist album to be released on The Martinez Brothers’ Cuttin' Headz label, and the LP captures Guti's return to his roots. A raw and honest document of straight-up, hypnotic and percussive house rhythms, the album took shape in Japan and largely evolved during his time in the jungles of the Dominican Republic, sampling native instruments. Everything in it; the grooves, the instrumentation, the warmth, and the soul are Guti at his deepest dancefloor essence.

"Red Eye" perfectly encapsulates this spirit. Following the album’s first single, "So Dope," we are once again taken deep inside the Argentinian's psyche with enveloping grooves, a slowly swaying bassline, and an evocative narration woven deeply into the mix that gets your hips moving. The remixes are also exceptional...

Close friend and techno ally Loco Dice takes the lead with a stunning remix. An enveloping and potent affair laden with a powerful, hip-swaying bass hook, it is a strong nod to the sound Loco Dice championed over 10 years ago. But, as always with the Desolat don, things take a psychedelic turn when you least expect it. Romanian rogue Priku also delivers something very special; stripped back to a lithe, bare-bones groove, polished with restraint and subtlety, Priku has unwittingly captured the essence of Guti's entire album and where his heart, mind, and soul currently lay... Deep in the spirit of a conga beat.
