Iorona EP by Carlos Francisco, Santiago Garcia

Emerging from arcadia in a time when reality needs it most, MoBlack Records' 377th release summons Fortaleza-based, house music veteran, Carlos Francisco to render a stunning ballad nurtured by grief and nourished with love. Nestled in an ambrosial concursion of multi-dimensional percussion, Iorona builds up into a stark chorus rippled by an elusive melody, mellowed by tender piano notes but ultimately bound by the humanity of skin-on-skin, grounded in the simple rhythm of the basic hand clap.
Francisco garners the poignant perspective of a fellow South American in side B. Argentinian rising star and melodic house marvel, Santiago Garcia takes Iorona to a spright start, a brusquer, fiery bassline that initially takes her mourning off the spotlight only to divest to transcendence at climax, infusing sounds that feel like nature and smell like lore. Garcia's reinterpretation is a melodic surrender to mystery, an acceptance of the unknown, a dance for letting go and the time for letting be: Time to End.

One of THE main protagonists since day one, there is nobody else around, laying foundations on this level and pushing boundaries like MoBlack Records and its founder Mimmo Falcone (MoBlack). The Italian who lived in Ghana for ten years keeps surprising the RISE team as much as the scene with those cutting edge releases and a repertoire that shouts "classic" every second minute. by RISE -
