Italian producer Matteo Rivetto may be a new addition to the Stil vor Talent roaster, you could still pretty much swear he’s been with us a lifetime. Inspired by the pain experienced in a relationship, ‘Pulling It Together’ was initially an acoustic song in collaboration with vocalist Mani Obeya, which Rivetto re-edited into an electronic club track.

“Processing my personal experience and using the music as a form of catharsis”, Rivetto’s goal was to “capture the raw emotions in a way that is relatable and meaningful to the audience”, and he did pretty well judging by the anthemic impact of ‘Pulling It Together’. Showing a superb tension throughout, the song seems to scan the full spectrum of emotions – alienation, anger, regret, sorrow, and ultimately that rage to move forward, translating them into sine waves that speak directly to your soul.

No wonder our chief vibe merchant Oliver Koletzki picked it as the ideal backbone to an even more tense, warehouse-sized revamp, fleshing it out with extra club-ready muscle and adaptative horsepower where needed whilst retaining that vital heartbroken charm and sense of airy brittleness that make Rivetto’s breakup tune the stunning bit of teary-eyed, regenerative dance floor music it is.
