Different Stories has been five years in the making with two friends just getting together and making music for themselves, not for any labels but just what they wanted! The best way to describe it is a beautiful and simple journey of Melodic and Organic House Music with some haunting and original vocals.

Cabarza (Jason Herd) and Pete Zorba have been friends and prolific on the Manchester dance scene since the early nineties but when Jason was one half of Pirate Copy they started making a few beats together with releases on labels like Stereo, Circus and Area Remote but they both wanted to make something with more meaning to them, not just to get on a label and so it began!

Not long into starting to make tracks together Pete suffered terrible news that he had brain cancer and had to undergo surgery, they gave him months to live but he recovered 100% and started making the regular journey to Jason’s in Abersoch in the pursuit of making music.

Two years later Pete suffered another lapse and with a few tracks under their belt, they decided to work towards an album for albums sake not primarily for the clubs or gigs.

With the amazing vocals of Pablo:Rita, Neil Marra, Emilie Rachel, Martha Pryer, Eluize and Annabelle Lee the album has come together.

Pete sadley lost his fight with cancer in February 2021, four years after his first diagnosis and there was enourmous tribute from the electronic music community, one of the good guys Camelphat tweeted alongside many others. Pete was one of the original Residents of Kaluki in Manchester and when they held a tribute in Manchester, there was no shortage of A list DJs to offer their services.

This record is what we would call a beautiful album to listen to, not just for the clubs but with the energy to rock one. We hope it is Pete’s Legacy and you enjoy it as much as we do! 

Cabarza also has a string of releases to follow this album on his new label Different Stories.

Remix packages will be coming soon!

Big Love

Press Release
After a three year hiatus, Cabarza returns to his own imprint Late Night Stories with the long awaited new single “Late Night Stories”, a hypnotic and emotional journey through the deeper but hard hitting side of organic and melodic house.
The track finds that perfect balance between warmth, groove and tension, built on intricate percussion, layered analog synths and cinematic textures that evolve throughout. It’s a sound that pays homage to the underground worlds of Crosstown Rebels, Innervisions and Maccabi House, where melody and movement coexist in perfect harmony.
Following Cabarza’s acclaimed album “Different Stories” with the late Pete Zorba, this release marks a new chapter, one that continues the legacy with depth, emotion and spirit.
Expect immersive grooves, evolving soundscapes and the unmistakable Cabarza touch: emotional tracks that slam.

Cabarza Biography

Cabarza has been a prominent figure in house music over the past 25 years with his many monikers and releases on most of house music’s most respected labels. His sound has developed into a blend of sophisticated organic tech house, tribal and melodic music pushing techno which is made for the more discerning dancefloors.

With releases on Circus, Area Remote, Kaluki and Stereo, he has also had success with releases on Elrow, Materialism, Kaluki, Defected and many more as Pirate Copy. 

A child of the Manchester Music scene, he was a regular at the likes of the Hacienda and Home aswell as gaining residency for legendary underground club Sankeys. His studio was in Sankeys for 10 years and he has edged a place in the Manchester House Music Scene running nights and producing quality house and tech house.

After taking a break from releasing music to rethink his direction, he’s back for 2019 with releases on the mighty Under No Illusion Recordings and Repeat After Me.

His DJ sets are a selection of layers, samples and tracks he mostly produces himself, releases you will never be able to buy making his sets something you will only hear when you go to watch him live. As a former resident at Gods Kitchen UK in the late 90’s he warmed up for the like of Frankie Knuckles, David Morales and many more legends and to this day the importance of a “journey” from warm up grooves to peak time madness is what he holds as his golden rule, an art promoters and DJ’s alike seem to forget.

When talking about his influences he says “Ibiza is my second home, the balaeric beats and how they have developed from DJ Gregory to Themba and Artbat are my love. Luciano, Loco Dice, Nic Fanciulli, Martinez Brothers, Kolsch and Kerri Chandler are the sounds that made me start producing Tech House but I do not want to follow anyone’s styles, I want people to hear a record and say “That Sounds Like Cabarza”.

He has had releases on Circus, Area Remote and Stereo but also had success with releases on Elrow, Materialism, Kaluki, Defected and many more as Pirate Copy. His sound is a blend of tribal underground and solid tech house grooves.
