plentyppl w/ Casually Clued & Anna Adetiba - April 2024

The Issues label keeps up its fine early momentum with a new EP from Pau Roca with a remix from Crue. It is another tasteful 12" that comes on the heels of a deep outing from Dubbyman and an inaugural release featuring fresh versions of Joan Bibiloni by Kiko Navarro & Willie Graff.

Spaniard Roca is one of Barcelona's most assured house talents. He has played all the most influential festivals and clubs at home from Mutek to Sonar, as well as all across Europe. He has worked as a booker and resident at the BeCool nightclub as well as running his own labels Escola and Bons Records. His musical and synth-heavy house sound is varied and vital and has come on the likes of LA's Pleasure Of Love, the mysterious Black Money and many more.

Opener 'Daradada' is a spiritual deep house cut with swirling pads and classic vocals drifting next to the jazzy keys. It's expansive and cosmic in design and one that touches the heart on many levels. 
'Here Comes The Moon' is another cut that shows off Roca's mastery of astral melodies. 
His gorgeous chords and delicate keys rise up to the stars as warm, dynamic drums bring the weight down low and spoken words unfurl in a seductive fashion.

The Crue remix of 'Daradada' then brings more drive with harder but still organic house drums and hits. The chords take on a melancholic quality and an elastic bassline pumps the party with a playful sense of energy. Last of all is 'Get Down' which once again sinks you into a beautifully warm and heady world of soft focus chords and late-night synth work. It's a richly atmospheric track with a timeless feel and lasting emotional impact.

With this third EP, Issues once again stands out with real quality as the new parent to Patrick Luca's already respected Saft, Pulp and Born labels.

Absorbing the sounds of New York since her birth in Brooklyn, Tara spins a collage of soulful sounds that captures an eclectic vibe. Her sets acknowledge the past while looking to the future and celebrating the now. Tara loves nightlife, having started out as an event producer and promoter. As a member of Rare Form, she helped originate Donuts are Forever, an annual fundraiser/tribute to hip hop producer J. Dilla, as well as Makossa Brooklyn Cookout, now over 10 years strong as a beloved Brooklyn summer hang. Tara believes being a DJ is more than just playing a mix of records; it is a matter of building trust between herself and the crowd and sharing the knowledge and love she has for the music and the feelings it projects onto the listeners. The crowd trusts Tara to become part of another great night in their lives, and she returns that favor by giving them a taste of the familiar as well as something new that may be something they have never realized was needed in their musical memory
