john barera: message in the air ep
Francisco Espregueira
New York based producer, DJ and Cross Street Music label boss John Barera (Allergy Season, Dolly, Sorry Records) has long been a highly acclaimed artist in the world of underground House and Techno. This September he joined the roster of Will Buck’s Off Track Recordings to present the high-rolling four-track Message In The Air EP. Barera’s new record cements a decade-long discography that graced many taste making labels, while his DJ sets have taken him to hotspots like Panorama Bar, Fabric, Smart Bar, Razzmatazz, Floyd, Video Club, Tangent Gallery and many more.
Message In The Air EP is Barera’s first solo EP in six years. On this record, he steps up with his trademark raw house, now infused with live instruments and unconventional use of vocals across four soul drenched house cuts. And he goes beyond, filling the sounds with mesmerizing textures that sound both classic and new somehow. Available on vinyl, this is a record you don’t want to miss out if you’re a deep house head.
