Ana Liu's music producer arc is already in full swing with the release of her new track, 'Mi Piacciono Le Donne Fighe'. This one brings the heat right from its title literally translating to 'I Like Hot Women', and the music has this high energy traditional house and tech house fusion with a twist of Reggaetón that has that spicy signature dembow rhythm.
In addition to this, the whole thing also gives you a strong introduction to Ana's style of composing and mixing in general, which specifically features a unique thought process, prioritising multicultural influences as well as stitching together both the quantity and quality of contrasting sections. What you are hearing here through her music is her decade of experience and passion.
With that being said, through this track, you get a mix of sexy, stylish, and dynamic elements, along with subtle sampling and well-executed build-ups and drops which are indeed the staples of the EDM genre. The whole track moves through distinct phases, switching between different melodic arrangements. As something that's rooted in electronic music, technically, the execution here is quite personalised, kind of like Ana reimagining her fusion of EDM sub-genres to create something uniquely her own.
Diving deeper, the mix of spoken and whispered vocals, sprinkled with some suggestive breathing in the background, adds a bit of magic, especially in the first half of the song. With this layer, you also get a groovy, funkier-than-usual bass, extremely intense as well as subtle dreamy synth tones and patterns, and some classic electric guitar action, probably played by Ana herself because, oh yeah, she’s also a killer guitarist. Then comes the evolving beat, packed with a tight, thumping kick and a snappy snare that’s got a fun, percussive punch to it.
By the way, the Reggaetón section of the song works like a bridge leading up to the big climax, before diving back into techno, where all the elements come together for a grand finale. And let’s not forget the magic happening behind the scenes, these perfectly timed effects like reverb, delays and even panning, kicking in at just the right moment on just the right elements. They add space, depth, and an extra layer of freshness, keeping the whole track moving.
Now here's something to know about Ana Liu. She's a Colombian-born guitarist and music producer, standing out from the rest. She was awarded the Presidential Scholarship from Berklee College of Music. At Berklee, she majored in Guitar Performance and Contemporary Writing & Production, honing her skills and pushing her creative boundaries. So, it’s not just about the love of music, she’s seriously dedicated to her craft.
