Roberto Rodriguez - "Moonraker Serenade" [Laka]


Music, as a global phenomenon, doesn't stop never and we can't amaze if suddenly we could handle a record from an unknown brand new label: this is the case of Laka, German label which seems to promise very well thanks to this first release. Even though it will sound strange, Roberto Rodriguez, the author of the tracks of the vinyl, is a Finnish producer but albeit Lapland isn't probably his land of origin, both "Moonraker" and "Serenade" have a north Scandinavian "cold" sound. The first one, because of these dark/tech/experimental sounds, reminds me some stuff of Underground Resistance; instead the second has got a rooted connection with Berlinese deep house. I like the originality of these tracks but Phonique's remix of "Moonraker" is something of devastating: his rework is typically "microhouse" but if you try to lose yourselves in the atmosphere created during the break and after start again, maybe you could understand what I'm talking about now. In my opinion, this ep is the great surprise of the week.

Tracklist:
1. "Moonraker"






2. "Moonraker" (Phonique remix)






3. "Serenade"
