Rome and Berlin-based producer, DJ Red, announced today the Raw Cacao EP, a two-tracker featuring the title track alongside an 11-minute remix from none other than Ricardo Villalobos. Simona Calvani’s original hones in on a hypnotizing polyrhythm draped in mildewy textures, Villalobos’ works with field recordings of people talking alongside what sounds like buzzing machinery to create one of his signature wormhole expeditions.
Calvani shared a statement about the release on Facebook. “Music has been filling me with emotions and amazing surprises for several years now, but this goes beyond, it’s something I never expected… The release [features a remix] by one of the artists I most love and admire, a true inspiration for me,” she said.
