DJ Python - I Was Put on This Earth EP 12"

i was put on this earth is DJ Python's debut EP for XL Records and his first solo release since 2002. Across five tracks, Python (Brian Piñeyro) gently forays into uncharted territory as a singer, producer and collaborator; an achievement all the more impressive in light of the groundbreaking nature of the project to date. Python, now splitting his time between New York and London, crews up with key artists on both sides of the pond. Isabella Lovestory lends an insouciant yet insistent vocal to "Besos Robados," a downtempo lovers' reggaeton track that's been a fan favourite since appearing on Python's epic Essential Mix. Python's released music from south London rapper Jawnino and unclassifiable London songwriter Organ Tapes on his Worldwide Unlimited imprint, and both artists appear on "Dai Buki," Python's singular take on the venerable UK post-rock tradition spanning from Talk Talk to Bark Psychosis. Piñeyro himself takes a delicate and personal vocal turn on the heartfelt "Marry Me Maia," a track which effortlessly blends ambient and IDM influences with indie and slowcore. His quavering tenor returns on "Coquine," a moody and alien synth pop track that nevertheless couldn't have been produced by anyone else. Finally on "Elio's Lived Behind My House Forever," Python works with NYC mainstay Physical Therapy on a dancefloor cut with drifting melodies as emotive as any of the preceding vocal tunes. i was put on this earth builds upon the indelible melody, atmosphere and drums that have enshrined previous Python records like Mas Amable and Angel, rearranging these elements into ambitious, addictive songs.
