A Tech House Bomb Played by Cristian Varela

Alright, so I’ve contacted Cristian Varela numerous times on Facebook asking him to ID this track for me, and all he gave me was a “like.” I’ve checked out Varela’s productions and charts on Beatport, but I’ve had no luck at all. If you can ID this track, please do.

Not a ‘typical’ Varela production. Try trawling latest releases from his label (Pornographic). He showcases the label in his sets.

3

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the releases from Pornographic but had no luck. I’ll continue to dig there when I have more time.

4

Or his mixes on Mixcloud, at least you have the tracklistings and the sound is clearer for Shazam/Soundhound. Personally not crazy about his ‘newer’ sound - too ‘dark’ and techno for me. A BIG fan of his circa Bedrock sound.

I visited his Mixcloud this morning and it looks like I have a lot of work to do. I’m skeptical that’s it on Pornographic though, because on Facebook, when I asked him what the track is on his “Like” page, he never responded; he just gave me a “like.” I’ve told some of my other DJ friends about this and they told me it was a dick move on his part. What do you think? If this tune was on his record label, it wouldn’t make sense for him to conceal it; he’d want to promote it. Unless he’s retarded.

Not in his defence (as you say he should be promoting), but as an opinion - I think facebook is a TOTAL waste of time to try and get info. As you say - just another ‘Like’. Tedious.

7

Some producers/DJs have been helpful via Facebook. Still digging over here…

8

A bomb indeed. Has anyone found an ID yet? And can anyone ID the effect(s) he’s utilizing from 1:50-2:09?

9

It’s echo-delay effect used from 1/8 to 1/32. In Traktor it’s called T3 Delay.

10

sounds like echo + one of the sound color effects to me.

11

Thanks! I’ll try it out later…

12

I tried Shazaming it and came up empty handed.

13

Alright, I think I found the track but it sounds slightly different:

Sergio Parrado, Eder Alvarez - La Cositas de la Disco (Original Mix)

Can anyone confirm this please?!

14

Sounds the same to me! Sounds a lil different in the youtube video, could be due to the microphone or maybe he was adding a layer from deck two? Idk.

15

I think the one Varela is playing sounds techier and rawer. After I heard that Beatport and Shazam teamed up, I immediately Shazamed the YouTube link and came up with ‘La Cositas de la Disco’. My friends, who have had a listen, said they’re not the same.

The search continues…
