Roku opens the summer season by welcoming Andre Moret to the label for his debut EP. As one of Brazil's most highly regarded progressive house artists, Andre Moret has achieved many successes across his seven year career. World class DJs Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren have been regular supporters, while his inimitable productions have found a home on Mango Alley, Plattenbank, The Soundgarden and Warung Recordings, amongst others. Also an accomplished DJ, the Campinas resident has taken his impeccable taste and smooth programming skills around the world, performing in Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay, while also being a fixture of Brazil's vibrant nightlife, through his highly regarded gigs at D.EDGE, Club 88, Clash Club, Gate22 and more. Now, fresh off a well-received EP for Clubsonica, Andre adds roku to his resume with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Mind Guides'.

Beginning with ‘Mind Guides', Andre showcases a groovy hypnotic approach which sets the tone for the EP. Full of alluring textures and fresh design qualities, the Brazilian talent expertly blends warm kick drums and voluptuous grooves, with rolling rhythms, haunted vocal choirs and wavy arpeggiated sequences, for a captivating path into the break. Further revealing his creative attitude across the interlude, it's a short but tense build which emerges to reveal submerged chord stabs and a powerful drop, before vocal narrative returns for an engaging finale.

The companion piece ‘Night of Falling Lights' lands with a decidedly deeper approach, as Andre flexes his rhythmic acumen across the seven minute piece. Rolling basslines provide the anchor for glowing synth phrasing and spirited sonics to highlight a dreamy top line, continually evolving across the main break, as modulation peaks and the groove re-engages to create a club energy that is both stirring and confident.
