Album Description
Moca - Relaxing UnderstatementWe sink deep into the soft armchair, only to jump up again and move to the music. We lie flat on our backs in the sun and yet jump up to go dancing on the beach.
Moca does this with us. Moca relaxes and speeds us up again. Moca pushes and brings us back again. Yet, Moca only makes music.
Is this an understatement? Yes, absolutely! This belongs to the principle of the 5 band members from Germany. They play innovative noticable electronic music, some where between House and Lounge, Jazz and Bigbeat. The result is funky, it has goove, but foremost: it relaxes. Relaxation transports itself, when Moca is on stage. "We're seated on stage. Our audience should dance; we only play the music", says Moca master mind Christian Becker. That's how easy the Moca world is and Christian is the musical director. He's in charge of the backing beat, brings in samples and plays the Hammond, Wurlitzer and Fender-Rhodes-Piano. Peykan Razani is the percussionist, Ralf Eichenauer plays synthies, while Martin Becker and Christoph Kloppenburg tune in with the guitars. Moca is no plastic band. They are no youngsters playing at home on their computer; Moca want to be live on stage! Maybe this is the fine difference: half digital music played by musicians, that together have over 65 years of experience in analogue live performance. Total understanding towards each other, they make every concert into a live-jam-session. That's the reason why it doesn't matter if there are 5000 people dancing or only 50. That's why Moca works. Always. Moca have been around since 1999, but band members have already been playing together earlier in Funk and Jazz bands, in Blues and Rock `n Roll formations. Many trends in taste, stirred in Moca. They have been touring around Germany and have many successful gigs and performances at festivals. "wroooooooam" is their second album and, as Moca would say in their very special understatment way, it only includes music. Very relaxing music.

Review
The German act Moca's first full-length album slips excitingly between categories, and by its hard-to-categorize nature is infinitely more interesting and listenable than the sorts of albums where the listener hears four measures and can already peg exactly which of the myriad subcategories of electronic dance music to slot it into. At its base, Wroooooooam is pure old-school house, early '90s style, with its prominent, easy-to-digest beats and occasional snippets of soul-diva vocals. But on top of that, there's more than a little downtempo mellowness (never so much that the album is in any danger of slipping into the muzak-like background wash of so many downtempo releases), and most obviously, there's a huge influence here from plain old-fashioned '60s soul-jazz and groovy '70s fusion: wah-wah guitars that will have you checking the musician credits for George Benson's name, funky electric piano and clavinet parts, and more vintage synths than can be found this side of a Stereolab flipside. Most importantly, however, there's some real skill here not only in putting together slick and danceable grooves, but also compelling, sturdy melodies to go on top of them. Wroooooooam is the sort of album that even people who don't normally go for this kind of thing can love. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
