Oriol creates a sound that is fundamentally luminous. It is electronic music that feels like it was grown in a greenhouse rather than programmed in a basement, dripping with the warmth of 80s boogie and the sophisticated harmonic language of 70s soul. The textures are liquid and shimmering, often anchored by a rhythmic swing that betrays his roots in London's broken beat scene.
What truly sets him apart is the way he balances nostalgia with a forward-thinking production edge. While the synth patches might recall vintage electro-funk, the structural complexity and bass weight align him with the post-dubstep innovators of the early 2010s. It is music that captures the specific hazy euphoria of a perfect summer day turning into a vibrant urban night.
Start with the album Coconut Coast. It is the definitive statement of his aesthetic, blending tropical melodies with intricate percussion. It works equally well as a deep-listening experience for audiophiles or as a high-end backdrop for a summer gathering.
