According to musicology, a cadenza is: generically, an improvised or written-out ornamental passage played or sung by a soloist or soloists, usually in a 'free' rhythmic style, and often allowing for virtuosic display. To me and you of course, Cadenza is a house label run by Luciano and Serafin, operating in the more minimal areas of house, and its harder older brother techno. With releases form the likes of Andomat 3000, Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos Cadenza recordings provides a platform for their artists to release music with a more improvised, organic feel.

Switzerland's Mirko Loko meets Detroit's Stacey Pullen with Pullen appearing for the first time on Cadenza. A fusion of these two distinct styles takes the form of 'Formulaic Mode', a drifting, thickly textured and bass-heavy mover and 'Tronic Illusion' an alluring, spacious shuffler. Ace stylish and intriguing tracks.
