Alec Araujo – Manija [Dopamine White]

The latest from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes Alec Araujo to the label for his debut single. With a long history in progressive music, the Brazilian artist has earned the praise of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren and Paul Oakenfold over the course of his thirteen-year career. Releases on Balkan Connection, Global Underground, Particles and Plattenbank sit prominently in his discography. Now making his first appearance on Dopamine White Alec presents his latest studio creation 'Manija' alongside a remix from NAHS and DJ Paul.

Beginning with the original mix Alec works neatly detailed percussion over a bed of rolling beats and buzzing bass stabs. Hazy atmospheres drift, creating an air of anticipation as rhythmic hooks and ghostly sweeps fill in the framework. Smooth yet powerful, the narrative evolves with phasing overlays and hopeful pads carrying into a short but timely break, perfectly resetting the groove for an exhalating finale.

The lone interpretation of Manija' is provided by NAHS and DJ Paul. The Argentinean duo have collaborated once previously on 'Secret Place', a track which found a home on DJ Paul's recent full length album 'Small Musical Stories' released via Soundteller Records. Now combining their creative vision once again the Buenos Aires duo craft a stunning rendition of Manija'. Taking a cue from the original, it's driving ethos and character rich low end make an immediate impact. Clattering percussion adds nicely to its powerful momentum, while meandering melodic concepts and indistinct vocals bring an esoteric air. A spaced-out interlude sits at the core of the piece, furthering the mystical vibes onwards into a meditative final movement. A gorgeous remix from NAHS and DJ Paul which caps off a great Dopamine White debut for Alec Araujo.
