Three producers, one unique sound: Vallent , Henrique Dinelli, and Peitorateam up for a new release on London’s Distracion label.
“Just Look Around” takes listeners on an epic, digitalised journey, giving off that buzz of floating above the crowd at a massive gig, where everyone’s in sync.
Vallent, Henrique Dinelli, and Peitora have pooled their talents to create a track that really pulls you in. The radio edit, at just under four minutes, carefully crafts every element to emotionally connect and engage.
The collaboration kicked off casually when Henrique Dinelli and Vallent crossed paths at Ginteria in Vitória, Espírito Santo. Dinelli shared the initial idea for a progressive track, with a punchy bassline and an energy-packed drop. Vallent took on the challenge, bringing his skills as a composer and musician to craft impactful vocals, using a vocoder for a futuristic twist. With the track taking shape, they brought Peitora on board to add a British edge, resulting in a polished mix and master that elevates the tune to a whole new level. Give it a listen here on Brazil’s top electronic music magazine, House Mag!
A Dive into Futuristic, Captivating Sounds
“Just Look Around” is all about that futuristic vibe, kicking off with a syncopated guitar in the first break, followed by robotic vocals with a vocoder twist. The track’s built on a bassline from the 303 synth, a melodic piano, and a synth brass that really pops in the drop. Using analogue synths like the Korg Minilogue, alongside 808 and 909 drum machines, adds layers of depth to the sound. Produced in Ableton Live and finished off in Logic, the track nods to influences like Artbat, Daft Punk, and Dom Dolla.
Peitora, a Brazilian now based in London with an international career, is a Progressive House DJ and producer. Born in São Paulo, he’s made his name in the UK, where he’s lived for over 25 years. Starting out in 2000 spinning vinyl, Peitora graduated in Music Production from the University of West London in 2008. He’s played iconic venues like Fabric London and collaborated with big industry names like Sony Music. On the new track, Peitora says:
“We want people to feel completely lost in the sound, as if they’re part of it.”
Henrique Dinelli, a rising star from Espírito Santo making waves across Brazil, started DJing at 17 and quickly became a fixture on the top stages in Espírito Santo, like Ilha Shows and Café de La Musique. With a knack for Progressive House, both in commercial and conceptual styles, his tracks have caught international attention, leading to releases on VEX Distro Miami. Even while studying Medicine, Dinelli stays active in the electronic music scene. On creating this track, Henrique Dinelli shares:
“I wanted to convey my feelings with this music, lifting a bit of the weight off my shoulders. It’s a huge joy to release it during this new chapter of my life.”
Vallent, a big name with over 7 million streams, has solidified his career with performances at top festivals like Universo Paralello in Bahia. His sound blends Progressive House, Melodic Techno, and House, creating a vibe that hits both clubs and big festivals. Reflecting on his part in the track, Vallent said, “It was just the right challenge to push me to bring my talents as a composer and musician, creating vocals that make a real impact on the track.”
A Track That Connects and Captivates
“Just Look Around” shows how different talents and influences can come together to create something truly unique. With its polished production and captivating sound, the track invites listeners to lose themselves in the music, offering an experience that goes beyond the dance floor and connects on a deeper level. This release marks another major step for the three artists, and it’s set to make waves in clubs and festivals around the world.
