Set up in 2020 to focus on ‘producing and distributing music we personally love to hear and dance to’, according to label founders Davide Ruberto and Joe Armstrong, Acousticdope Records distils a wide range of inspirations into modern house music. Recruiting Rockin Moroccin for their first drop of 2022, the London-based DJ/producer delivers two dreamlike house tracks for the label.
Leading the release, ‘Oud in C minor’ opens with thumping drums and delicate percussion before evolving pads, and emotive stabs wind up for a climactic second half. ‘Marais Memories’ follows with gentle synths, rolling drum patterns, and subtle FX, with a gently unfurling accordion and piano sequence erupting midway through the track for a dramatic close to a standout two-tracker, and another excellent offering from Acousticdope Records.
Rockin Moroccin ‘Oud in C minor EP’ drops via Acousticdope Records exclusively on Beatport on 6th June, followed by a worldwide release on 23rd June 2022.
Tracklist:
01 Oud in C minor
