Coming out of Mexico City, Stimulation is a producer and DJ duo making an impact in the electronic music scene with an ethos that favours simplicity and minimalism. Formed by Rodrigo Alvarez and Jerry Ortiz, they combine to deliver their own take on house music which is showcased via their compelling DJ sets and captured in their studio releases. Their own imprint, Alma Records, also provides the platform for their musical output to reach listeners and dance floors around the world.
In 2021 they unveiled their sound with their debut release “Surge of Feelings” which featured the tracks “This Feeling” and “Liquid Soul.” Since then, they’re shared a string of singles that showcase their unique sound and evolving artistic output. Now they’re back with their latest release, bringing us their brand new single “You” paired with the b-side “I Don’t Care.”
“You” kicks off with a steady four-to-the-floor beat, immediately establishing the rhythmic based for an immersive experience. The building synth loops add to the sonic fabric which is threaded with a haunting vocal sample that acts as an anchor throughout the track.
Laying down a deep and grooving progressive house sound, the track guides you through an expansive seven minute dance scene, gently shifting with the pulse and buzz of mesmeric synth tones and hushed shots of processed vocal samples. With slick ebb and flow wrapped in superb sound design, the energy swells with enveloping textures and rattling percussive rolls before floating back down to the hypnotic groove.
“I Don’t Care” sees Stimulation link up with fellow Mexico City based producer team DAN & FRANK, offering a stellar collaboration of house music. Building on a minimal arrangement, stuttered synths and snapping beat collide with spacey vocal samples to craft a trance-inducing dance music experience. With their latest release, Stimulation continues to go from strength to strength, proving managing to deliver a powerful sonic vision built on their simplistic approach.
