Ibiza may be a well-worn holiday destination, but beneath the commercial gloss the White Island still has something special.
An inspiring point for clubbers, Ibiza provided a base for Pirupa as last summer wound its course. Working on fresh material, he allowed the island's sensational atmosphere to filter into his music.
The results are gathered on 'Cristallo' EP. Forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels' sub-label Rebellion, it's a soulful but inquisitively forward-thinking return from the producer.
Pirupa explains: “This is a special EP for me. ‘Cristallo’ is very significant to me, I made it in 2014 while inspired by my stay in Ibiza last August and the magic of the island, with its hot and sexy sounds; while ‘Save A Prayer’ was created more recently in April, inspired by my last tour in the US where lots of particular things have happened. I am very happy with the work done and especially to debut on a label very important to me from an artist like Damian Lazarus, who I respect and have respected for over 10 years, since I started as a DJ and producer.”
Maher Daniel Cristallo has stepped in on remix duties, and delivered a crystalline take on 'Cristallo'. Perfectly tailored for a small, sweaty, cramped place, it's electronic innovation is allied to a stomping physical impact.
