Jaco Reigosa drops 'Let's Get Crazy Chart': ten tech house cuts with a distinct identity
Producer Jaco Reigosa arrives on Beatport with a personal selection that works both as an introduction and a sonic manifesto. Let's Get Crazy Chart brings together ten tech house tracks ranging from 127 to 130 BPM, building a coherent narrative arc where groove is the absolute common thread. The selection spans labels of varied profile — Motel Calypso Records, BNN Records, elrow Limited, 303LVRS — signalling a curator with an open ear and a cross-scene sensibility.
Track by track: the highlights that define the chart
- Let's Get Crazy (Jaco Reigosa, Motel Calypso Records): The title track opens at 127 BPM in Db minor. Tight percussive grooves, a hypnotic bassline and a restrained energy that compels movement without unnecessary showmanship. Jaco's signature is unmistakable from bar one.
- Chain Reaction (Techouzer & Hermann Bravo, BNN Records): The collaboration between Techouzer and Hermann Bravo nudges the tempo to 129 BPM while staying in Db minor. Chained effects, cumulative tension and a drop that justifies every second of the build-up.
- Like Dat! (Simes, Shake It Music Frequency): At 130 BPM in Eb minor, Simes delivers the chart's most brazen moment. Gritty percussion, fragmented vocal samples and an attitude rooted in Chicago tech house filtered through contemporary European sensibilities.
- Como Suena (Dem Boyz, NoZzo Music): The longest cut on the chart at 6:26. Its E major tonality gives it a less shadowy, more direct character. Dem Boyz build a groove that settles in unhurriedly and is in no rush to get anywhere fast.
- Tutti (Tomas Cardenas, MangoTech Records): C minor at 130 BPM. Cardenas's extended mix handles dynamics intelligently, making room for atmospheric textures before the rhythmic density reasserts itself.
- Turnt (Fabri Torres, Happy Techno Limited): The chart's longest cut at 6:38 minutes. Torres explores the same C minor axis with greater percussive aggression, making this the peak-intensity moment of the selection.
- Criminal (Ms Pika, Crazy Nutz Music): At 128 BPM in G minor, Ms Pika brings a distinctive feminine voice to a predominantly male selection. Elegant groove, dark synthesis and a progression that pulls you in effortlessly.
- Baby (Caitto, 303LVRS): The 303LVRS imprint guarantees acid credentials. Caitto delivers the chart's most compact track — 5:05 in A minor — with classic acid house references seamlessly woven into a modern tech house framework.
- Summertime (Nacho Scoppa, elrow Limited): The chart's sole Minimal / Deep Tech entry offers a welcome shift in register. The elrow Limited stamp brings festival context and Scoppa's Gb major palette contrasts effectively with the darker surrounding material.
- No Time to Stop (Zyrak GR, Distance Music): The chart closes with Zyrak in D major at 128 BPM — a harmonically brighter finish that nonetheless retains full rhythmic conviction. A smart editorial call that leaves the listener with residual energy.
Editorial verdict
Let's Get Crazy Chart is not a random collection of trending tracks: it is a sonic document that reveals Jaco Reigosa's refined taste. The deliberately tight BPM window (127–130) prioritises cohesion over superficial variety. The spread of labels — from underground circuits to the elrow brand — proves the curator moves confidently across multiple spheres of the scene. Essential listening for midnight sets on an already warmed-up floor.
