on ian pooley's outing on nrk sound division's nite:life series i heard the vincenzo remix of rivera rotation's "latinica witch". this was a few years after past the release of the mix and it was a track that i loved. not really the standout track on the mix as it follows needs' "brother" which iss something more bumping and earcatching. even more so to the track that it goes into, which is the new phunk theory remix of yann fontaine's "open your eyes", that is heartbreakingly beautiful.
none the less this was something that i loved because i was quite into vincenzo's tracks at the time, i had dipped my toes into the discography and i liked what i was hearing. songs like "we wait right here", "at throb", "the way of thinking" and "peace is not the word to play". i had yet not heard "where's the love that i knew" but then when i was given a heads up on that there was a sense of this is that song you have been missing for all of your life.
it's music that moves you and i know it's heralded as one of vincenzo's best productions and for a good reason. the lowkey feel in the beginning is imprinted with some subtle drums and percussion. some fuzzy rhodes notes come after you hear the small vocal part that works well in the atmosphere. there is some haze in the background that eventually opens up as the track progresses but in it's filtered state it's more of a pad.
vincenzo does a lot with something that i can with my ears tell apart being more or less just a sampled soul groove, some drum sounds and grooves, some rhodes and that vocal. the buildup holds the right amount of suspense and the dynamics in the soundscape make all the difference.
