In our Latin Remix of the Week series, we spotlight remixes that Bulletin board Latin and Billboard Español The editors consider them outstanding and different from the rest. We may not publish a review every week. This is our pick today.
After her last album, GreaseNathy Peluso makes his debut Club Grasaan eight-track EP that supercharges its half the album's original 16 tracks with a ready twist. In her first remix project, she taps into the talents of international electronic producers to reinvent these tracks. Elements of rap, salsa, soul and acoustic tunes are reinterpreted through the lenses of these diverse artists, reflecting a global EDM aesthetic.
“This whole process has been an experiment and a super fun journey for me,” Nathy Peluso said in a press release. “I've given my music to producers from the international clubbing scene, giving them complete freedom to reinterpret it from its core.”
It also describes Club Grasa as a project that pushes her creative boundaries through collaboration, embodying the album's intention for listeners to experience “music in their own unique ways.”
The lineup includes Spanish nusar3000, TRISTÁN!, Ideas Radicales and Phoac. Argentina's Garoto 3000 and Tayhana — who is also Mexican. Colombia's CRRDR and UK's Mura Masa.
Grammy Award-winning British producer Mura Masa brings a bright electro touch to “Menina,” featuring Spanish-Brazilian artist Lua de Santana. Mura Masa, born Alex Crossen, shared his excitement. “Nathy is really great and Grease it's such a great album with a real sonic identity,” he said in a press release. “I wanted to take what she and Lua de Santana had done with the original and put those conceptual elements back into a more club-friendly environment without compromising that identity.”
Remixes showcase a range of styles and influences. The Nusar3000 infuses “Real” with an adrenaline-pumping approach, while the synth-futuristic sound of TRISTÁN! transforms “Corleone”. Tayhana's remix of “Aprender a Amar” contrasts with Garoto 3000's dynamic approach to “Manhattan.” PHOAC and Merca Bae explore Caribbean industrial sounds on their respective remixes, with CRRDR combining tribal and Latin club beats on “Todo Roto.”
