Timo Garcia - Wonderlust Bug

Timo Garcia - Wonderlust Bug (Debut Artist Album)
Berwick Street Records

Under the alias Timo Garcia, he joins the dots of our planet's clubbing hotspots. Rocking crowds across Brazil, at London's Ministry of Sound, around Russia, at all of Ibiza's sharpest clubs and more: he is a global DJ. Whether spinning his own razor edged house productions, or mixing the tech and electro of others, he weaves sets stuffed with sonics from all over.

But seeing and hearing the world in this way has uniquely improved the arsenal of sounds at his disposal as a DJ, and poignantly inform his productions. Be they glitched-out, guitar led or Hang Drum peppered, a Timo Garcia track is always on point.

As Tim Belcher, he heads his London born Berwick Street Records imprint, championing up-coming (D-Dub, Hauswerks, Le Crunch) and established artists (Lutzenkirtchen, Yousef & Smokin Jo) alike. Nurturing originality and hosting the work of musicians from all over the world, Berwick Street Records' only aims are to output quality music, no matter the name of the genre, and host the best parties in town, whatever town that may be.

With one ear on the underground, and one experiencing dance music in the here and now, it's no wonder Timo offers his debut album, Wonderlust Bug, as a window into his world: a document of his thoughts and travels laid out in sound.

Each note of the album is influenced by a different nook of the world's most exciting DJ booths, and programmed by an experienced artist, all in the interests of electronica.

Says Timo, 'I get to see a lot of places I wouldn't otherwise get to being a DJ, and I am thankful for that. The album's inspired by so many things, from buskers on the South Bank to acoustic bands playing on the beaches of Brazil. I felt the need to help spread the vibes of things like the Hang Drum into the dance music fraternity. I wanted to use and promote the sounds I hear around the world, as well as use some older ideas I've had for a while and been desperate to use somehow!

'The title is a play on Wanderlust meaning to enjoy travel. I added the Bug as I've got it bad, and changed it to Wonder, as I like my mind to do the traveling sometimes.

We got our hands on a copy of the album and it takes you on an enjoyable journey. From the deep minimal sounds of the intro track 'Boom', to the dreamy laid back vocals of 'The Morning After', via the brilliant 'The Hang Drum Track' and the swing inspired 'Swing Thing'.This is a journey that shows that Timo is not only technically accomplished, but also diverse and experimental in his work. A great debut from Timo and one that whets the appetite for any future releases from him and from his label.

On Monday 15th June Timo Garcia will be giving away one of the songs from his new album to every member of his FAN Page.
