[Arearemote]

Sex can be any number of things for its participants; but if the experience is up to par it can become all encompassing to the point one’s sense of time, restraint and self consciousness are thrown to the wind. Relative newcomer Pitto (Geurt Kersjes) has managed to capture that enraptured feeling with his latest track, “Sexvibe.” The Dutch producer has moved away from the piano-laden deep house of his Phil E debut — the flipside to Jackmate’s “Nomads” — and indulged in frothy, massively physical loops on the second Arearemote.

In its construction, “Sexvibe” is hardly different from the first house tracks which intertwined loops of disco, funk and soul soul samples. Where Pitto excels beyond the simple formula is in source material selection, starting with a galloping house beat and generously air-thickening bass tone. From there he pushes the tension higher and the dancers harder with hypnotic layers of guitar upstrokes and a woman ceaselessly purring the title (possibly hinting at The Mole’s “Border Times”). That’s just the first half. After a short breath-catching lull, a fierce new loop of interlocking string and horn stabs rises to the fore, an exhilarating blend of sinister and pleasurable tones to get the hands in the air. “Sexvibe” is a whirling dervish of a house tune that intoxicates and distorts as it repeats its seductive mantra; it’s also an impressive second effort for an otherwise obscure producer. I look forward to getting sweaty and lost in Pitto’s future releases as well.
