Cesar Merveille first joined the Cadenza team in 2009 with the outstanding ep Descarga, produced
alongside fellow artist Pablo Cahn and garnering high critique from industry and public alike. A well
known and much loved figure within Candenzas Vagabundos ensemble and equally the international
club circuit, it is with great pleasure that Cadenza welcome Cesar for his debut solo release on the
label.
Maayancholy is a beautiful and heart wrenching record, showcasing the delicate and fiercely musical
palette of the French producer. Introducing with shimmering open cymbals; light and airy they rustle
simultaneously and offer diversity via their multiple manipulation. Unsettled and sporadic, they splash
throughout the remainder of the piece in an ethereal manner, casting light over delicate Steinway
piano keys and stabbing muted chord sequences. Argentinean artist Guti composed the
aforementioned piano, his jazz and pianist training clearly used to full degree on Maayancholy with
simplistic singular key arrangements and piercing chord sequences. As the ascending chords rise,
they dance magically alongside the pitter patter of percussive drums in a stripped back and raw
demeanour. Maayancholy effortlessly lays bare the emotive side of Merveille through this ambient
and surprising track.
Luciano picks up the remix duty for with a 16 minute interpretation. As condensed cymbals and piano
chords are electronically warped, urgency prevails and groove sets in, securing Lucianos twisted
version as the perfect companion for the simplistic original. Pace quickened and intensity sharpened,
Luciano demonstrates the clear dance floor attributes withinMaayancholy in an electronic
reinterpretation fit for the floor.
