People Talk L_cio & Aroop Roy

A transverse flutist is an arguably rare sight in electronic dance music, but that's not the only thing setting apart trained instrumentalist and upcoming producer L_cio. Having become known to a wider audience thanks to his collaborations with floor-savvy artists like Portable or Patrice Bäumel, the Sao Paulo native doesn't aspire to be a DJ, but instead delves deeper into live performance in a club context - which led him to become that rarest of all things, a live electronic musician holding residencies in regular clubs without ever so much as touching a record. For the latest release from D.O.C., L_cio sat down with Aroop Roy and the label's mastermind Gui Boratto to produce an exquisite EP full of enticing grooves, lush harmonies and organic flow, engineered to perfection by Gui himself. It's an exciting step for both the imprint and the artist - pointing in different directions, but all of them right.
