COEO – “DO IT (STEVE HUERTA DUB MIX)”
Sage Caswell and Steve Huerta were both deserving of spots on our Favorites of 2013. Steve is starting off the year right with this Dub introduced to the world via DaBit Records coming at the end of January in both vinyl and digital.
“Florian Vietz and Andreas Höpfl met at high school, a mutual love of skating and a shared passion for music took them on a trip through Hip Hop, via Moombahton and finally the Raw House they now produce. The duo [COEO] certainly live up to their name, which they took from a health and safety warning adorning the side of a coffee cup, which read ‘Contents Hot’…
The title track ‘Do it’ starts hard and stays hard. A jacking four/four beat is punctuated with tightly chopped vocals from the outset. Synth stabs help to keep the track moving, but the pinnacle of the track is it breaks and builds… which are guaranteed to raise the smiles and hands of clubbers from Munich to Milan. Steve Huerta is recruited on remix duties, turning in a polar opposite of the original track. Steve’s take on the original is a dubby, deep and hypnotic affair, perfect for earlier or later in the night. The second original track from the Coeo duo ‘Will I’ shows the pairs ability to embrace different stylistic influences. A low slung affair, with beautifully crafted vocals and an almost percussive arpeggiated lead which sits mellifluously on floating pads and raw piano chords. The second remix of the title track comes courtesy of the London based producer Vorres. Described as a ‘re-work’ and not remix, Vorres retains the key elements of the track, bringing down the BPM and infusing with it with a syncopated drum pattern and a large 808 bass. The re-work is tied together with a gospel-esq pipe organ.”
