[Audio] Mr. Pteez’s ‘Radio Vice’

Mr. Pteez, one of Russia most interesting, unsung talents, recently released a collection of his work to date. The Radio Vice album showcases this producers SynthWave skills, and his ability to slip from B-Boy Electro, to blissful retro soundtrack work with ease. There’s a track for every mood.

The albums title track get’s things going here. Pteez’s most straight-up SynthWave track to date, all shimmering chords and Italo basslines. Followed by new track, Street Is Watching, which brings us back to Pteez’s fusion of retro electro and B-Boy styles. Street Is Watching delivers everything we love about Pteez’s music, the Electro Boogie grooves mixed with an 80s soundtrack sheen is everything ‘needed to make us feel nostalgic. And the whole of Radio Vice doesn’t disappoint in this department, taking us on a journey through the inner-city 80s, urban vibes and aspirational moods in a head on collision. Highlights include on of our faves, When Night Falls, a lush, building, track which we’ve raved about before and the pure 80s dancefloor awesomeness of Workout ‘83, loaded with Electro Soul grooves and popping percussion. Mr. Pteez is definitely one of Russia’s top SynthWave talents, and with the recent explosion of Russian retro synth producers that’s no mean feat. If we had one criticism, it would be that Radio Vice sound unmastered, we’d love to hear these tracks after a workout be a professional mastering engineer. Oh how they would shine. Regardless, the Radio Vice album comes highly recommended from us.

Mr. Pteez’s ‘Radio Vice’

Russian purveyor of sweet Electro Boogie and SynthWave Mr. Pteez is back. After impressing us a number of times with his combination of rich retro synths and B-Boy beats, and now after a few months of silence Pteez has conjured up a brand new swatch of dreamy synth sounds.

Radio Vice is more traditional SynthWave (if that is even a ‘thing’) than Pteez’s past offerings, but here he shows that when he turns his hand to straight-up Outrun, he’s still got the chops. Pteez’s signature is his deep, warm synths. Everything sounds so hazy and comfortable, there’s no abrasive riffs here, it’s all synth lushness. With a smooth, pounding Italo bassline and filtered claps driving the track, it;s still got the energy level of Pteez’s other work, but here that’s surrounded by intertwining, smoky, lead lines. All too short though.

Pteez’ ‘Southwind Part 2’

pteez

One of our favourite up-and-coming Russian producers Mr. Pteez is back. this time he’s dropping the follow up to last years ‘Southwind’.

Pteez sticks with the chilled summer vibes for ‘Southwind Part 2’ and lays down some retro Electro Boogie fit for the beach. The very cinematic SynthWave Pteez lays down, with it’s densely packed arrangement of sweeping pads and nostalgic melodies, conjures images of moves from the ‘80’s, maybe some light action, not comedy but not to serious either, the good guys are definitely prevailing. That’s a win for everyone!

Mr. Pteez reMixes Keet

One of our favourite Russian synth heads, Mr. Pteez, is back with a brand new reMix. This time the sometime B-Boy takes on fellow Russian House producer Keet’s ‘Russian Alien’.

The original was a sweeping, bouncy slice of big room House, so Mr. Pteez adds a touch of his own Electro Boogie to the mix. Laying down a shuffling Disco beat, rich retro synths and a funking bassline. This is a tune that constantly builds, slowly and subtly adding layers and elements until the end of the track is so full and big it’s guaranteed to get you moving. Once again Mr. Pteez has shown himself to be one to watch out for. Exciting stuff coming.

Siedah Garrett reMixed by Mr. Pteez

Siedah Garrett

Even before I heard this track I knew it was going to be a winner. Siedah Garrett’s 1985 ItaloPop hit ‘Do You Want It Right Now?’ reMix by a man who’s fast becoming one of our favourite Russian producers, Mr. Pteez. What more do you want?

Pteez keeps it old school with his particular mix of Italo, SynthWave and B-Boy Electro, which works perfectly with the original track and it’s vocals. Pteez reimagines the track for inner-city high energy dancefloors bring a bit of Garrett’s soul to the breakers in the subway and a bit of Electro Boogie to the Disco. Keep en eye on Mr. Pteez!
