PAU ROCA Schallplatten & CDs

Review: While based in Barcelona, the music made by Pau Roca is far more influenced by turn-of-the-90s Italian dream house than Spanish dance music of that period. For proof, check out the gorgeous 'Euphoria', an immersive, tactile and sunrise-ready slab of dream house revivalism that fixes the fluid piano motifs of Keys & Tronics Ensemble and the dreamy chords of Don Carlos, to a tactile bassline, vintage sounding machine drums and occasional blasts of breakbeats. Roca's original version comes backed with a simply superb remix by Pal Joey that's every bit as alluring as his celebrated early '90s work, plus two bonus cuts: dreamy and colourful breakbeat roller 'Marble Arch' and the immersive Balearic boogie flex of leisurely downtempo cut 'Hope'.
