Do not analyze the third sentence. This is not an homage Xzibit memes past. Regardless, what follows is a remix of a remix; as a matter of fact, it was debuted on the Bebe Poco L.S Produções mix. Minutiae aside, "Patalogoiza (Remix)" was officially released two weeks after the DJ Wayne and DJ NinOo version of Pataka Music's original. Willicox too opts for a batida re-creation but the same track is hardly composed twice. Willicox's beat (quite similar to the one used for his collaboration with Puto Baba), for example, lifts the same vocal samples but opts for a slower tempo. The producer also relies on percussive diversity - by means of shakers, vocals, and peripheral drums - to compensate for a static bass. Yet the shining moment for this track occurs melodically. A rich tapestry of elements is brought forth by Willicox, beginning with a choice to replace the marimba with a guitar; granted it returns later, reintroduced alongside two synths and a flute later on in the song, but the factuality of the statement stands. Overall, a serviceable effort.
Onwards to more recent developments. Released a week ago , "Natural Marimba" could just be titled 'Outra Coiisa Diferente.' As with his last original song - note that both exquisitely set-up the inevitable punch - Willicox features a non-descript, mid-tempo batida. The rhythm sounds equal parts batuco and kuduro. But influence aside, the beat is imaginative without losing measure of its purpose to incite dancing. Also, for what it is worth, cymbals are no longer used exclusively as transitional cues. "Natural Marimba," is ride cymbal heavy with a kick drums, vocals, and peripheral percussion taking charge of syncopation. Most interesting on the run-front is not the mariba. Rather, the synth takes on three roles: harmony, ambient texture, and melodica. Another quality effort from a beat-maker worth keeping tabs on.
