The "One Side of the Underground" series on Proton Music has been the perfect vehicle for Rick Pier O'Neil to showcase his incomparable production skills. Now taking "Cancun" from August 2018's best-selling "Vol. 2," remixes for Yin and Yang come courtesy of Sri Lankan and Mexican artists.
Established artists in their own rights, Replicanth & Rodrigo Cortazar have created quite a stir with their production partnership. Their solo production material was recently featured on a host of high-profile imprints including BeatFreak Recordings and Balkan Connection and supported by a DJ glitterati that includes Hernan Cattaneo. First joining forces on the "Colossus Purple" track for NOPRESET Records in May 2017, the Mexican duo have gone on to feature for the likes of Natural Rhythm, Sudam Recordings and We Are Here Music.
Now making their collaborative debut on Yin, Replicanth & Rodrigo Cortazar take "Cancun" on a bouncing bass groove journey, backed by strong beat and off-kilter hats. Pad chord progressions from the original make their presence felt in richly textured layers, while additional production material, including a meandering vocal phrase, give a new focus to O'Neil's work.
