The prolific Spanish powerhouse Espacio Cielo continues its impressive run with its 91st offering, this time from the talented and versatile Avar Garden. Hailing from Malaga, the producer presents an EP that feels both meticulously constructed and intuitively raw. Across two original compositions and two reworks from Leonor (SXDNS034) and Mundo D, Avar Garden maps a landscape of hypnotic rhythms and compellingly rough-hewn textures. The foundation of the project is the title piece, “Vertigo,” a track conceived during the profound hours of Madrid’s night. It draws direct inspiration from the legendary Sala Vértigo, serving as a genuine tribute to those sacred spaces where the pulse of club culture continues to beat long after the rest of the city has fallen silent.
Premiered here, Leonor’s remix takes the theme and steers it onto an entirely new path. The Mexican virtuoso, in reimagining the track, homes in on the very physical sensation the title suggests – a dizzying, exhilarating loss of balance on the dance floor. Where the original might embody the hazy, emotional weight of a night reaching its peak, Leonor’s version, with its Post-Punk/Synthpop dash, is the moment you surrender to the motion. He pares down the atmospheric layers to expose a driving, insistent rhythm section that feels both mechanical and deeply human. The melodic elements are refined into sharper, more repetitive hooks that wrap around the listener, creating a compelling, almost circular momentum. Leonor’s rework fundamentally alters the track’s gravity, pulling it from a state of reflective immersion toward a relentless, centrifugal force that captures the true, disorienting thrill of its namesake.
You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label.
