UPFRONTBEATS

Spanish luminary Cuartero makes his mark on Joey Daniel’s SiO Records with the entrancing ‘Persefone’ EP.

Boasting a decade-long influence in Spain’s house scene, Cuartero’s debut comes as no surprise. Founder of Sanity and curator of Cuartero Concept, he’s revered for personal explorations across house, minimal, and techno. The EP’s four tracks exemplify his mastery of rhythm and depth.

From the skippy allure of ‘Persefone’ to the stripped-back intimacy of ‘I Never,’ Cuartero’s SiO debut is a groove-laden masterpiece.
