Active since the 90s, the Italian producer is a dedicated explorer of the Italo Disco-inspired sounds native to his home. He's been plotting his sonic journey for decades, making pit stops at labels across Europe including Rekids, Toy Tonics, Slow Motion, Rotten City Records, and Roam Recordings. On top of his solo outings, collaboration has played a big role in his production journey to date. He's worked with artists like Howie B, Jazzanova, and Zed Bias, as well as joining forces on ongoing projects with fellow Italian stalwart Daniele Baldelli and Dimitri From Paris, the latter under the name Erodiscotique.Now back on his solo pursuits for Cyphon, Rocca proves he's still very much at the top of his game. The four cuts on 'Code 041' explore all shades of electro, from raw, old school machine funk to futuristic cosmic sounds. It's electro done the Rocca way.The title track sets the tone. An eerie bass line crawls along, providing a bed for reflective pads to glide and mysterious synth sounds and echoing vocal samples to ricochet above. 'No Gym' greets us next, bringing that Italo flair Rocca's mastered so well. It's the most vibrant track on the release, matching colorful pinging synths and tropical-tinged melodies with a signature driving acid bassline. On the flip, 'The Bigger Lake' takes the EP in a different direction, on a trip through dark glistening pads, tittering percussion and sub aquatic bass before the dusty breaks and moody, jazzy keys of 'Omega' bring the release to a close.
