DJ Python, also known as Brian Piñeyro, is a talented producer hailing from New York City who has gained recognition for his fusion of lush reggaeton, reticulated deep house, and breakbeat sounds. Operating under various aliases such as Deejay Xanax, DJ Wey, and Luis, Piñeyro has developed a distinct style that can be heard in his latest release, “Dulce Compañia,” which follows the success of his “¡Estéreo Bomba! Vol. 1” on Proibito, curated by Antony Naples.
Taking reggaeton on a unique instrumental journey that intertwines with the rich rave history of NYC, DJ Python has established his own subgenre of deep reggaeton. This term may be taken with a pinch of salt, but it effectively captures the essence of his music amidst a growing number of producers exploring new territories with dembow beats and tropes. Notable artists such as DJ/Rupture, Florentino, and Kelman Duran are also innovating within this realm.
“Dulce Compañia” is reminiscent of the experimental sounds of Ben Cenac’s Dream II Science, the new age explorations of Laraaji, and even touches of Andy Stott. Python skillfully blends reggaeton’s signature bump with shimmering electronic meditations in tracks like “Las Palmas,” while also incorporating jungle breaks that nod to his Deejay Xanax persona on “Cuál.” The album ventures into ambient rave-infused territory with “Todo Era Azul (Version Afuera)” and its cosmic counterpart “Siempre Dub.” Additionally, tracks like “q.e.p.d” provide a B12-esque holiday vibe in Caracas, while “Acostados” and “Yo Ran(Do)” introduce rugged and acidic elements to the mix.
However, it is the plasmic and ethereal ambient shuffle of “Esteban” that truly showcases Piñeyro’s unique Python sound. This track stands out as a mesmerizing highlight that will surely captivate listeners. “Dulce Compañia” is a highly recommended release that pushes the boundaries of reggaeton and offers a refreshing take on the genre.
