#4 Feat. Banner in Deep House

Smallville Records welcomes Barcelonas Lis Sarroca onto the imprint this November with her four-track Untitled Thoughts EP. Since 2018, Barcelona, Spains Lis Sarroca has been steadily unveiling her take on House, Techno, Disco and Electro via the likes of Shall Not Fade, Hot Haus and Chiwax among others as well maintain a steady presence across the globe as a heavily in demand DJ. Here, we see Sarroca making her debut on Smallville with her latest collection of works, again showcasing her widespread influences and mesmerising sonic aesthetic across four cuts. Up first is Atacote, a hypnotic house cut with a Balearic feel courtesy of breathy vocals, cinematic strings, piano lines and hazy atmospherics, intertwined with organic percussion and bouncy sub bass tones. Breaks Reminder follows and shifts gear into a broken rhythm section, squelchy acid lines and textural synths throughout. Opening the flip-side is Early Years, diving back into deeper realms with a multitude of ethereal pads, dubby synth flutters, plucked bass hits and crisp drums. Might Be then concludes the EP on a more chuggy Nu-Disco tip, employing gritty bass stabs, bubbling arpeggios, airy flute melodies and a saturated off-kilter drum groove.
