Natalia Roth Grooves With Jean Pierre On The Collaborative Pitch Black

If you've ever seen DJ and producer Natalya Roth perform as Melódie at a Floyd party, you'll know her minimalist techno style with bright, catchy basslines. But on his upcoming collaborative EP with New York producer Jean-Pierre , Pitch Black, out December 1 on Pierre's Pakate Records, Roth has had to adapt his style to Pierre's.

"It's different than what I normally do," Roth told New Times . “It gives my style a Jean Pierre style, less dark and a little more synthetic, with a strange vibe.”

Roth moved from his native Puerto Rico to Miami five years ago, where he began DJing in the San Juan club scene after a career as a model. He had his first experience behind the decks in 2017 at the Salón Atlántico in San Juan.

"I couldn't help but feel free, I don't know, free," Roth told New Times in 2021. “I started going to more parties and thought, ‘Why not become a DJ?’ I can do it for my friends and go. outside".

After moving to Miami, Roth met Pierre and the two hit it off immediately. In order to establish himself on the production side, he contacted Pierre Roth. Since then, Roth has launched popular minimalist techno labels such as Inwave and Dubfire's Sci+, which inspired each other. Technically.

“Jean Pierre was one of the first people who helped me get into manufacturing,” says Roth. “I already had some knowledge of production, but he helped me go further and built a great friendship. We started working in a way that united us so much that we are now a family.”

In addition to their collaboration in the studio , “Pitch Black” is the first official collaboration between the two. Despite the name, the sound of the EP is warmer than it seems. Once again, a dark clue lurks in the background.

The title track kicks off the five-track EP. Roth's voice adds a sophisticated touch to the heavy bass and explosive drums, which he tries to incorporate into many of his works.

Roth follows with “Monologue,” which is reminiscent of Ricardo Villalobos' “Skinfummel,” but features a more distorted monologue. “I wrote and recorded the vocals,” says Roth. “I wanted something natural, a quieter atmosphere, rather than actually singing. “The 'monologue' is basically what I talk about when I write the reading.”

The lyrics don't touch on anything deep like heartbreak or revenge; Instead, Roth complains about everyday things like the bureaucracy involved in getting a driver's license. “It’s stupid, I’m just talking to myself and in my head,” he said, laughing. “Then we cut it up and decided what could be beautiful and made a story out of it.”

Pitch Black also releases three remixes from Mexican Sacro, while French producer Jebali tackles the "Main" and "Dub" remix of "Monologue." In the past, Jebali tweaked and played with the formula, giving the original a more bubbly and impactful twist. It allows a sharper conviction to highlight the second theme, hypnotic synths and dub techno.

Roth released the song "Pitch Black" during his performance in Miami, which was positively received by producers Archie Hamilton, Paco Osuna and Ms. Mada.

Next year, Roth is ready to bring his music to the world. “I am really grateful for the new chapters in life, the people around me, the support and love,” she says.
