L_cio DOC Records welcomes L_cio for a beautiful full-length album entitled ‘Poema’. L_cio is a Brazilian artist who brings his own flute playing to his music. He has previously collaborated with the likes of Portable on the huge hit ‘Surrender’ and is a live act who has held residencies at plenty of key clubs in Brazil. He’s also toured all over the world from Egg London to Robert Johnson in Frankfurt and released on labels like Perlon, Soul Clap Records and D.Edge. His eight-track album is an emotive affair with deep house grooves embellished with his own spine tingling instrumentals and flute. ‘Paqe’ kicks things off with five minutes of springtime sounds and fluttering flutes that carry you off into clear blue skies. ‘Canto’ is more driving, with crisp drums and synth stabs all getting you into a groove. ‘Forte’ then drops into techno mood with powerful kicks and busy snares then ‘Complet’ re-sets with two minutes of blissful flute lead ambience that is utterly calming. ‘Poema’ is another beautiful interlude with floating synths and shimmering synths and ‘Avante’ brings back house drums with dramatic synths and icy hi hats. ‘Canto2’ again blesses you out with more exquisite flutes and some melancholic organ work and closer ‘Lagoa’ is a dreamy track with animal sounds, flutes and languid chords all encouraging you to get horizontal. .

Iggor Cavalera is best known for his part as the drummer of Brazilian super-group Sepultura. Having toured heavily around the globe, winning several 'Best Drummer' accolades and sold over 10 million records, Iggor's incredible ability to project emotion and evoke thought through his percussive talents is being given an outlet in the form of his exciting collaboration with his DJane wife Laima Leyton, MIXHELL. The exercise of performing live tracks that were made to DJ comes to life even more on this acid house release with the collaboration of acclaimed producer GUI BORATTO. When rock turned into "bubble gum" music, when EDM sounded too shallow, Mixhell continued their research - reviving and recreating what they loved in each style. Let there be house, let there be techno, let there be rock, in the end what really matters is the MUSIC.

Last summer, a stunning single called "Wish" (FM X / Wish 001) made quite a splash in the international techno community. It was released on a limited edition picture vinyl only and delighted listeners worldwide with its intimate melodies, lush harmonies and organic undertones. Composed in memory of Muddy Waters, the bluesman that electrified the Delta blues, it came from the hands of ELEKFANTZ, a project completely unknown to most floor hounds: speculations about the originators ran rampant and the name Gui Boratto was brought forward more than once. Now, the curtain is lifted with DIGGIN' ON YOU on the new Kompakt-distributed label outfit D.O.C., revealing two incredibly gifted musicians: Daniel and Leo first met 20 years ago, when they played together in a blues band. Leo continued his carreer as a professional musician while Daniel started to discover a new musical path. The latter was born and bred at the electronic music temple in South America, later becoming a resident DJ and local hero, known as the right guy to prepare the dance floor and set up the right mood. He's one of the finest DJs of the Brazilian new wave of electronic aficionados. Leo is a professional drummer, singer and composer since the age of 15. He played and recorded with some of the greatest artists in Brazil. After two decades, they met up again and created "Wish"... and it was indeed Gui Boratto who heard it first, deciding that not only this was music he'd love to see released, but also a talented duo he absolutely wanted to work with, becoming their manager and collaborator in the process. Thus, a new label was born: D.O.C., Gui's very own label imprint. Sure enough, ELEKFANTZ were the first artists to be signed. "They just sound different and beautiful", Gui says, "real musicians". The rest, as they say, is history.
