LLorca Garden (180g vinyl LP )

release date: 05-04-2017

2017 EU issue 180g vinyl LP - Longtime fans anticipating a fresh helping of jazz-oriented deep house will be surprised to the hear the The Garden is both stylistically and structurally different from Llorca’s earlier material. Funk and soul are to The Garden what jazz was to New Comer but rather than sample the classics, Llorca fashions new tunes in the style of the greats with the help of several guest vocalists, making this is very much a collection of songs rather than beats.

Tracks:
A1 The Garden
A2 You
A3 Waiting
A4 Make Your Own Choice
A5 All Right

B1 Rather Be Lonely
B2 Wonderwhy
B3 All We Ever Have
B4 Addiction Days
B5 Trigger Happy

15 years ago, Ludovic Llorca was an up and comer in the French house scene but also somewhat adjacent to it, pulling his samples from low-key jazz instead of the glitzy disco numbers immortalised by Daft Punk. His critically acclaimed debut New Comer went largely under the radar but has retained a modest cult following, its chic, blissed-out mood something of an antecedent to the kind of sound now well-served by the folks at Mood Hut.
