Hard at work once again “Cera Alba” returns to “MadTech” Records mid June with the ‘London To Barcelona’ EP. The budding British artist has been plugging away as a producer and DJ to great success over the past few years.

Kicking off the EP is ‘Barcelona’ which sees Cera Alba deliver a bass heavy, percussive number laid out over seven and a half minutes with vacillating sub hits, whirring synth drones and murmuring vocal lines meandering around a weighty rhythmic foundation. ‘She Flows’ follows and tips the focus over to sparse drum lines, bulbous bass tones and fluttering synth sequences while intricately processed vocal licks instill a smooth and soulful influence to the composition.

Opening the flip side of the EP we have ‘The Lowdown’ which brings swinging rhythms, murky low- pitched vocal hits and penetrating tom hits into the limelight, while closing cut ‘Relaxxx’ winds down the release on a low-slung tip with straight 4/4 rhythms and a groove-led hypnotic feel.
