Rick Pier O’Neil – They Got Away [Clubsonica Records]

The 47th release on Clubsonica Records welcomes Rick Pier O’Neil back to the label for a brand new single. In addition to appearances on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and John OO Fleming’s JOOF Recordings, the French artist has also found a comfortable home on Clubsonica, where he has released two singles and a remix since making his label debut in February of 2017. Now with the 2018 summer season in full swing the RPO Records boss returns with his most anticipated single to date, alongside remixes from Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat, Yuriy From Russia and Luciano Scheffer.

In a career that spans over two decades, Rick Pier O’Neil has crafted many memorable tracks. His latest entitled ‘They Got Away’ is perhaps one of the most sought after however. Best known for his tougher, peak time productions, the French artist has stepped outside the box with a deep creation that sits in a unique sonic space. On a bed of sultry beats comes immaculately crafted percussion, gaseous atmospheres and trails of astral effects. As the first act evolves its intoxicating vibe becomes irresistible, eventually leading to a stripped down centrepiece. With emotion at a premium it’s meditative pulse rises, free flowing with wispy cinematics and before a tepid rush transfers energy into a purring finale.

The first interpretation of ‘They Got Away’ is provided by Kamilo Sanclemente & Dabeat. The Colombian duo have been sometime studio partners having worked on projects for FSOE UV, Spring Tube and Stellar Fountain. Now coming together for their first joint production on Clubsonica the duo takes ‘They Got Away’ into funky, progressive minded territory. The main atmospheric motifs translate well over a heavier yet incredibly groovy low end, before distinctive tones ignite the energetic core. Coming to fruition during the main break, the cascading theme flows through timely modulation, peaking elegantly as the pulsating groove drops for a magic moment.

The second interpretation of ‘They Got Away’ is provided by Yuriy From Russia who is making his label debut. The Russian artist is widely regarded for his prolific prowess and remains one of the more versatile producers in the underground. You never know quite what to expect from Yuriy as he seems equally adept at producing deep, dubby grooves as he is at lush progressive house. For his ‘They Got Away’ interpretation he opts for the latter and with excellent results.
A warm, driving groove sets the track in motion as an array of charming melodies fades into the mix. As the track builds, airy textures paint a scenic soundscape, before timely chord changes add just the right emotive touch. Swirling sonics then lead the track into the breakdown as the atmosphere grows to serene levels, perfectly setting up a blissful finale.

The release concludes with Luciano Scheffer also making his label debut. Hailing from Ribeirao Pires, the Brazilian artist has been a long time favourite of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. His stunning creations have etched out a meticulous discography, highlighted by releases on Just Movement and PHW Elements. Now making his much anticipated Clubsonica debut, Luciano delivers an inspired interpretation of 'They Got Away'. Deep, hypnotic and fluid, the Brazilian artist builds a free flowing framework filled with gorgeous sonic artefacts and smooth rhythmic qualities. While wonderfully spaced out and undeniably scenic, the main break transfers energy and rhythm with a silky resonance as the beats drop for an emotive finale. A stunning remix from Luciano which rounds out a hugely successful return to Clubsonica for Rick Pier O'Neil.
