🤔 Maybe The Album Of The Year? - Guy From Downstairs - Oceanics
Short review + Giveaway! Win a copy of Guy From Downstairs - Oceanic LP, released on Unic Records.
You now what’s actually incredible about this so called Romanian sound, that grew up to becoming a vast musical multiverse? It’s spreading a contagious enthusiasm to every person who gets in contact with it. Maybe without its will, this sound has become a global phenomenon, despite many critical voices that hurried up to write its obituary. But again, this expansion has brought us some nice surprises coming from as far as thousands of miles away from Romania.
Oceanic, Guy From Downstairs’ debut LP, was recently released by Unic Records, an imprint run by Elia and Hendrik, two fine record selectors from Sydney. But it’s not this cross-continental relationship that caught our attention: this LP is TIGHT! It is really what you expect from an artist who took time to listen to his inner Self, thus building a sound of his own. And that joie de vivre feeling is spread equally on the entire album. Essentially a dancefloor record, Oceanic takes shape into the most fluid form of house music you’ve we’ve encountered until now. GFD picks up influences from here and there, yet still following the same deep house envelope. And the influences are those elements that give consistence to this LP: all aquatic, but with pinches of dreamy deep house like Calcioum or soft electro nuances like Dokai. Rest assure, there are no fillers on this record!
The record is selling out fast so be sure you grab your copy from your favourite local record shop, as it is distributed worldwide by Black Round Twelve
