In a commemoration of considerable distinction, heralding a decade of sonic pursuits, tresydos presents its milestone 10th release—an opulent two-part special edition artfully curated by the discerning Mari.Te, a luminary hailing from Venezuela and now ensconced within the vibrant tapestry of Barcelona. Revered for her discerning taste in music curation, Mari.Te masterfully conducts a melodic symphony that seamlessly unites seasoned contributors and burgeoning talents alike. This promises an auditory odyssey that encapsulates the label’s illustrious legacy while concurrently projecting a forward-looking vision.
The inauguration of this auditory journey is rendered by the debutante B.Love with his track “Video Soul.” An alchemical fusion of funky tones and vocoder-enhanced vocals, reminiscent of the legendary Roger Troutman, sets a luxuriously upbeat tone. B.Love, a luminary associated with Bizarre Trax and a collective member, deftly weaves futuristic elements into the fabric of the composition. The result is an opulent housey-vibe that reflects B.Love’s multifaceted talent, showcased previously in the highly acclaimed “The Talkbox Track EP” from the culmination of 2023.
Following this compelling overture, tresydos family member Arnic assumes the sonic reins with “I’m Into You.” A seamless fusion of dreamy atmospheres and buoyant rhythms, this composition emerges as a tantalizing blend of Techhouse and Electro. Arnic’s nuanced craftsmanship takes the listener on a transcendental journey, affirming the artist’s mastery within the Tresydos family.
As the symphony progresses, Neik graces the B side with the timeless resonance of “New Age.” Departing from the Argentinian producer’s accustomed stylings, the track introduces a bassline rooted in a broken beat with triplets. The atmospheric and deep layers beckon towards Leftfield/Experimental realms, showcasing Neik’s artistic versatility and penchant for unexplored sonic territories.
The penultimate chapter unfolds with Atree‘s “Augmented Reality,” a composition distinguished by the artist’s hallmark punchy basslines. The track exudes precision, providing a fusion of rhythmic dynamism and melodic finesse. Atree’s artistry, displayed with characteristic prowess, culminates in a crescendo that elegantly punctuates this special edition of Tresydos’s 10th release.
In the bonus offering on Bandcamp, Neik unveils “Tiempo Control,” a compelling testament to his penchant for experimentation. The track gracefully navigates an avant-garde soundscape, characterized by an evocative acidic note and captivating spacey chords. Neik’s artful blend of unconventional elements adds an enigmatic dimension to the composition, making “Tiempo Control” a distinctive and thought-provoking addition to Tresydos’s 10th release.
As the final notes of Atree’s sonic tapestry reverberate, one cannot help but marvel at the grandeur of tresydos’s 10th release. A celebration of musical artistry, expertly selected by Mari.Te, this special edition stands as a testament of evolution and innovation. From B.Love’s funk-infused House to Arnic’s genre-defying blend, and Neik’s experimental deviations, each track is a brushstroke contributing to the canvas of tresydos’s legacy.
