Peces Raros curate their Dancefloor Essentials
Blurring the lines between band and live act, Lucio Consolo and Marco Viera craft a sound that’s both visceral and cinematic, melding the pulse of techno with the raw energy of rock.
Following their sold-out 12,000-capacity show at Mandarine Park and the release of their new collaboration with Innellea, Parte del Juego, the duo now step into Dancefloor Essentials to reveal the tracks that define their journey:
from hypnotic reworks by Nick Warren, Henry Saiz and Rafael Cerato to boundary-pushing collaborations with Brigado Crew.
Each selection reflects the same creative tension that fuels Peces Raros’ evolution: music built for emotion, connection and movement.
This is our latest release. A true collaboration with a huge techno artist like Innellea. We made two vocals over a simple beat, one very melodic and deep, like a little song; the other one with an hypnotic repetition of just one phrase. We then send it to Innellea and he built the track around that. We like it very much because we can hear both worlds mixing. It was very fun to make.
This was the focus track from our latest remixes album (Desconfiguración Vol.4). We had met Nick Warren a few months before this release, we've always been fans of his music and had seen him play several times. We were thrilled when he said yes to the idea of remixing one of our songs. "Óxido" in the original versión has an electro-house vibe, a little bit like the eurodance from the early 2000s. Nick and Nicolas captured that fun energy and carried it into their characteristic progressive sound. We loved it from the first time we heard it.
This is another remix of our latest album, in this case "Kamikaze". The original version is a slow tune, it has a very nostalgic vibe, with delicate arpeggio keys. We were surprised Henry Saiz choose this one from the album because we didn't think it could become a dancefloor track, but he found a way to make it work in a pretty fast bpm (128) without losing the fragile intimacy of the original song. He made a fantastic work. This remix is a great track to end a set.
This is a very important remix from "Desconfiguración Vol.4". Rafael Cerato chose it because he loved the original song and he wanted to preserve that song-structure. That's tricky because he had to balance the big changes this song has in his form (verses, chorus, interlude and guitar solo) with the electronic-music necessity of a stable beat and uniform structure. We love what he achieved. It's a melodic track and a song at the same time, very intense and powerful; great to use as a banger in the middle of a set.
One of our few collaborations. We've known Brigado Crew for a couple of years now, and we've always thought they were one of the best producers in Argentina. In this work together we wanted to find a melody having already an instrumental elaborated by them. They sent us something very solid to work with and we played over it for a whole day until we found the words. We were aiming for something robotic; different from the melodic lines we are used to have in our songs as a band. Then they did the rest, they worked for several months until they finished what you can hear now.
