Influences: Lorca

Since 2011, Lorca has been a leader amongst a wave of bass and house music producers. Combining elements of UK dance and club music alongside old school sensibilities he has been an important figure in the British scene. He has often managed to breach the divide between underground and mainstream with his music being supported by the likes of Pete Tong, Rob Da Bank,Bonobo and Ben UFO. In recent years he has released for the likes of Church, 2020 Visions, Naked Naked and Third Ear and this new year he will play alongside Bicep and a host of others in Brighton. We caught up with him to discuss his musical influences…
Lorca will play at Patterns Brighton HERE.
Radiohead blow me away with everything they do but this has to be my favourite track of theirs. Melodically, like the rest of their songs – it’s amazing, Thom Yorke’s top line and harmony parts over Johnny Greenwood’s intricate guitar chords just fit so perfectly. The arrangement seems to just march on and mind melding guitar fx seep in and out of the mix to make sure you don’t get bored. It’s just top notch song writing. Radiohead are a big influence for me.
