Following up from 2017’s “Tribute To Eddie EP”, a tribute to the late great Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations, Lorca returns with the “Tribute To Larry” EP on a similar tip.

Larry Levan was known for his decade long stint as resident at the legendary Paradise Garage in New York during the 80s. He has since become known as the prototype for modern dance music DJs. His sets were well known for ushering in an electronic, post-disco sound that presaged the ascendance of house music.

It is this sound and era that influences the music of this EP. Taking inspiration from tracks Larry would regularly play in his sets, Lorca brings them in to the now, bringing new life to 2 classic disco/motown cuts that would regularly send the dance floor into a frenzy.

“Larry’s Bomb” takes chops from Dee Dee Bridgewater’s fervent “Bad For Me” taking key elements from an epic 8 minute builder and making them work in a classic four to the floor format. “Look What You Do” follows in a similar fashion but this time loops the belting vocal intro of a Barber Holloway classic under rolling kicks, claps, live guitar and cowbells.

Following up from 2022’s debut album, the “Saudade LP” on the revered Shall Not Fade label, Lorca returns with a new 6 track EP on his own Live Ones imprint. 

Where the Saudade LP focused on the more ambient and ethereal end of electronic music, True Clour was born out of a new found obsession with Eurorack and therefore takes a darker, more mechanical approach, focusing largely on mutant basslines, driving drum machine rhythms, and flurrying synth lines. 
  		
The intro track “Buchla’s Bump” is aptly named after the synth it was programmed on, the Buchla Easel and features bumping, pulsating sub bass, sample and hold midrange bass, and chugging 606 drums.  

“Beams” and “Spotlight Symphony” follow in a similar fashion, this time utilising filter resonance as a melodic tool as the tracks build to a euphoric yet melancholic ending.  

“Late Nate FM Jam” interrupts the beats as an instrumental interlude, featuring underwater soundscapes and glistening, reverb soaked arpeggios. “True Colour” and “Ghosted” switch up the tempo and involve live, distorted, overdrived, and compressed drum breaks alongside more mutant basslines to round off the darkest and most techno influenced EP Lorca has yet produced.

A free download as part of Sune's (https://soundcloud.com/emilsunesson) forthcoming 'Mimosa Kuriosa EP' on Live Ones. Unfortunately, due to sample issues, this track didn't make it onto the wax. The full five track 12'' is due out in November. 

------------------------------------------- 

Hailing from the coastal Swedish city of Malmö, Sune steps forward to provide a fourth EP for Lorca’s Live Ones. With his Mimosa Kuriosa EP he serves up 5 masterful disco and soul inflected rhythms that’ll hit all the right spots. 

Having previously provided his signature sunshine grooves for Better Listen, Kyoku and his own Honey Butter imprint, Sune is fast building a reputation as a prolific purveyor of funk. 

The EP shows off Emil Sunesson’s ear for playful samples and infectious grooves. Dusty, heady drum programming features heavily across all five tracks, employed subtly on the laid back ‘Bring Some Tea’ while unleashed to devastating effect on the upbeat ‘The Way U Make Me Feel’. 

There’s something for everyone on this versatile, enigmatic EP from a talented young producer that we’re sure you’ll be seeing plenty 
more of in time to come.

Lorca - Moments (LIVE001)

Five artists. Five tracks. Four countries. One 12’’. Live Ones is back with a belting new EP featuring five deep and sultry cuts.

Windows (formally DJ Windows XP) kicks things off with their familiar dusty and melancholic drive, pulling all the right heart strings on ‘I Wanted To Share My Feelings But You Kept Talking’. Label owner Lorca’s ‘Sirens’ follows this on a similar, ravey vibe with stomping kicks, breaks, breast beating string samples and bleeps. 
  		
The flip side sees the talented and experienced Intr0beatz in amazing form utilising rich, orchestral strings and his signature house grooves to produce the infectious ‘For The Love’.  

Keith Lorraine (also known as Baby Rollen) of London is up next with the emotionally rich ‘Wild Flower’. The track builds nicely into the final cut ‘Dreams’ from Canada’s Mathew Ferness. Here we see the artist at his best, using looping vocals and piano stabs to great effect, completing an EP that will work just as well in your headphones as it will on the dance floor. We’re in it For The Love.
