- C.P.I is a new project from long-time Hivern Discs operative Marc Piñol and Berlin-based producer Hugo Capablanca. They're bound by a shared love of '80s Brit electronica experimentalists, early acid house adopters, Belgian new beat and industrial. The title of "El Túnel" hasn't been plucked from thin air. It's a record that, once you enter it, envelops you. There is no turning back, instead you grip the wheel and ride out its epic 15-minute exploration into dark, propulsive techno. A growling bass arp snakes its way across the duration, over which Piñol and Capablanca inject Close Encounters-style synth scales and phantom-like groans. Calling it a "track" does it an injustice—it's more an of electronic saga.
"Proceso" may be half the duration of "El Túnel," but it's far from half the record. As quaking acid and a throbbing new beat rhythm build an oppressive, hypnotic loop, C.P.I. pierce it with guttural vocal blasts and slo-mo disco claps. Barnt has spent his career flipping the bird to convention, and the Cologne producer tweaks "Proceso" into fucked-up acid disco, like a manic 21st century Moroder armed with rat-a-tat handclaps and toy synths. You can be damn sure this isn't the last we'll hear from C.P.I.
