Python & Anthony Naples
This Saturday, Dec. 3rd, DJ Python x Anthony Naples will now be in the Kremwerk basement because we are going until 4AM!! That’s six hours of these two incredible selectors going back to back all night to keep you moving on the dance floor.
DJ Python (Dembow, House, Jungle): Originally inspired by the dembow rhythms emanating from souped-up Honda Civics during his teenage years in Miami, Piñeyro’s first forays into electronic music production were influenced by reggaeton. Already well-versed in house, IDM, DnB/jungle and downtempo, Piñeyro came up with a dreamier dembow varietal that was softer around the edges, integrating the headspace and soulful atmospherics of ambient and deep house.
While Piñeyro had already made beloved records under other aliases — like “Song For Masahiro,” under his house guise, DJ Wey, or Dreamt Takes, his IDM-flavoured 12-inch as Luis — DJ Python’s “deep reggaeton” quickly found a wider audience, especially following the release of his 2017 debut album, Dulce Compañia, on Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery’s Incienso label. Tracks like “Todo Era Azul (Versiòn Afuera)” became subtle dancefloor anthems — low-slung, ethereal and sexy. Meanwhile, Python’s all-tempo DJ style, honed in New York City’s network of dance bars, became an underground phenomenon. Piñeyro would follow his debut album with the deft, melodic Derretirse 12-inch for Dekmantel, as well as DJ gigs and live PAs at Sustain-Release, Unsound, Dekmantel, Tokyo’s Contact club and Printworks to name a few.
Piñeyro is currently working on new solo music, a club riddims collaboration with DJ Florentino and Kelman Duran called SANGRE NUEVA, as well as a TBA subdued experimental pop team-up. This balance between the club and the bedroom, music enjoyed with others or alone, has always been the key to Piñeyro’s music. It’s what makes his albums flow seamlessly from the car to the headphones to the soundsystem. There’s a bit of sadness in every happy moment. A moment to be by yourself in the club and be moved by the music — figuratively and literally — even shed a tear on the dancefloor.
Anthony Naples: Anthony Naples is a New York City based music producer, DJ, and the co-owner of the record label Incienso. Hailing from a community of producers and DJs with panoramic views, he quickly distinguished himself as a major agitator. Already with an extensive list of record releases, Naples’ decade of music production has been one of refreshing and inventive vision on the electronic scene. The dub-tinged, psychedelic compositions result in an ongoing energy of ascension. Discarding any kind of formula, there is nevertheless a sense of fusion and enchantment. Elements of ambient, acid-house, or post-punk music are found, although this game of identifying symbols quickly becomes labyrinthine; Anthony Naples’ magic is real and is done in a state of active balminess.
