Day Care on NTS w/ DJ Randy Ellis & The Alaia 05.06.24

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.

ISSUES03 - Pau Roca - Late Night Illusions (+ Crue Remix)

Helaas heb ik er ook aan moeten geloven. Ik heb een burn-out... Muziek is mijn grote liefde en is ook de beste heler. De burn-out zorgt ervoor dat ik me heel numb voel, maar muziek geeft me gelukkig wat emotie. Tijdens het opnemen van deze mix heb ik heerlijk kunnen huilen, wat op het moment mijn beste uitlaatklep en enige emotie is. De mix heeft wat distortion opgelopen tijdens het opnemen, maar deze imperfectie past goed bij mij op dit moment. Ik hoop dat deze mix voor jou ook goed kan doen. Liefs, Pete Beluga
