"Second long play release of Galaktika Records, this time is the turn of Garnica, who fit a full record of powerful tracks, some already known, such as 'The Lucky Guy' or 'Hielo Sobre Arena' and others completely new, like 'Cae Nieve en Caracas' or 'Aerobus Garnica,' manages to create a homogenous and consistent record. For example, 'Fix Me!,' one of the oldest themes of the record, this track has anything to envy to the new productions of the elan that, as usual, they are located of a high dose of harmonies and enthusiasm. A perfect example of this is the track that opens the record, 'Cae Nieve en Caracas,' where Garnica take us for a walk though a tropical city covered with snow. Or 'Deeper,' a tech house bomb with an acid and powerful sound that make it perfect to kick the dance floor. Another surprise that we find on the record is 'Aerobus,' a classical Garnica track -- that is to say, groove and melody in equal parts, in this case, with a house groove quite attractive. Included on the record, also, two remixes: one of 'The Lucky Guy' by Jaumëtic (GLK004), who is a manager of the prestigious label Regular, and the other is from Laderas in charge of Matzak (GLK012), who has published in labels so respected as Boxer Recordings or Citizen Records. With this release Garnica proposes us a trip through its universe and he shows us all his facets. Definitely, this is a good opportunity to check the catalogue of Garnica, always full of nuances, rhythms and careful productions and to discover his new material that points out more and more high."

"Finally Garnica's back on Galaktika Records. He brings us 'Sweet How': a completely hypnotic track that will leave nobody indifferent on the dance floor. This release comes with two remixes. One of them by Sasse, best known as the owner, A&R and main producer of the German label Moodmusic Records and remixer of artists like Jori Hulkkonen or Wagon Cooking by naming a few. The other one is made by Mathias Schaffhäuser, who rules the respected label Ware and who has published tracks on other important labels like Force Tracks or Kompakt. The remix of Sasse gets straight to the point, creating a new way closer to the Detroit techno, but respecting the original track's atmosphere. Whereas the remix of Schaffhäuser is influenced by the dub techno with a constant crescendo that deepens the mood and drama of the original track."

"Rafael Garnica, member of the collective 'Los Andes Electronicos' and ex-drummer of the Venezuelan rock band Submarino, publishes his second reference in Galaktika. 'Hielo Sobre Arena' makes a wink to the minimal aesthetic but it surpasses the conventionalisms thanks to the deepness of his pads. His continued crescendo is pure emotion and the entry of the bassline marks the point of no return. 'Hielo Sobre Arena' is the track that the DJ has to fit in the exact time, could be the beginning of a tremendous end. On side B, Garnica hardens his proposal and the atmosphere is so dark, like delirious. 'Laderas' is perverse and exciting, a jewel for the body and the soul. Matzak remix (debut album on Boxer Sport) is the next step, but in another direction, the French producer offers his version in a more electro-techno key. From the drawings of Garnica, Matzak invents his own epic version. Venezuela vs. France, the organic virtuosity of Garnica and the synthetic forcefulness of Matzak."
