Renaissance Presents: The Masters Series: Hernan Cattaneo – Parallel (2010)
Hernan’s return to the Masters Series in
2010 brings with it an exciting new development. This year the
ever-creative South American has slowed things down to present a
distinctly cosmic disco-esque take on his inimitable sound.
“I felt it was time we took a fresh direction,” says Hernan, “But,
although it was always going to be alternate, I wasn’t sure just what
this direction should be. So, I locked myself away and started going
through loads of music for inspiration. It wasn’t till I pitched a Henry
Saiz tra
ck down (and it sounded brilliant) that I hit upon the idea of dropping everything back 15-20 BPMs on the first disc.”
ck down (and it sounded brilliant) that I hit upon the idea of dropping everything back 15-20 BPMs on the first disc.”
Entitled ‘Day’, disc one is a beautiful, shimmering ride through
Cattaneo’s audio world, its musical style the perfect antithesis of
two’s club-inspired ‘Night’. But what’s all the more remarkable is how
he’s also managed to work five (out of a whopping eleven) original
productions, remixes and edits into the mix – no mean feat considering
the unique nature of the material. “I know there’s a big debate amongst
dance music fans about exclusives on compilations right now, but for me
it’s a purely positive objective. Just as with the alternate style of
the ‘Day’ mix, it’s another way of distinguishing the album from a live
club set, a statement to the fact a lot more effort has gone into the
project as whole,” he challenges. “I’ll not deny working outside of the
traditional comfort zone of 125 (approx) BPM was easy, but between
commissioning tracks from some of my favourite producers / friends,
using or adapting my own productions and sourcing some amazing music
(like the fantastic Sigur Ros track that closes the ‘Day’ mix – it’s such a great song!), I think it came together really well.”
Although ‘Night’ finds Hernan in more familiar territory, it draws
upon the remaining six exclusives to ensure his fresh authorship and
feel of the mix continues throughout, and comes backed by tantilising
gems from likes of Way Out West, Henry Saiz, Quivver and Tone Depth, to name but a few.
