Laercio Schwantes aka L_cio, is the man with the transverse flute responsible for some of the freshest and most exciting tracks and performances coming out from Brazil.

Having turned quite a number of heads with his recent releases on DOC Records (Traffic; People Talk; Schwantes) and with his instrumental contribution to Portable's massive crossover hit "Surrender" ("Best New Track" at Pitchfork, among others), L_cio comes out again with a new 2 tracks studio gemstone:  "Vazio".

“Vazio” (which simply means empty in Portuguese) is a beautiful melodic techno track that grows in space by the beat. “Complet” is a rare and mystic unique sound. These two tracks have a complementary relationship, opposites that are connected. 

Laercio has a series of hybrid collaborations and projects, and does not stop. He is a trained instrumentalist and live performer, who has been establishing his own imprint and new elements from the studio to the electronic scene.

L_cio has an arsenal of ideas and a gigantic talent. A new breed of artist with serious productions and beats.

DOC RECORDS is an independent record label founded in 2013 and operated by Brazilian architect and music producer Gui Boratto. The name is a reference to "Denominazione Di Origine Controllata" or D.O.C., used for certifying all different types of food which follow a set of regulations and come from specific geographical areas. In this case, it's about music that relates to Gui's own sound-like principles: to Gui, more important than style, it is the music itself that and its beauty and harmony that count the most. Thus, the intent to launch quality timeless music, avant-garde, rhetorical and with a well defined and efficient language and expression, regardless of its shell. 

After all, there's only good or bad taste.
