There's not much information to be found about this mysterious album from Underground Quality. Here's the basics: it's a first full-length from little-known Brazilian house producer Apoena. That's pretty much it in terms of details. Musically, it largely focuses on a sunshine-soaked brand of deep house that simply bristles with warming pads, darting melodies and beach-friendly electronics - all underpinned by rock-solid grooves that are crying out to be tested over a soundsystem. There are brief sojourns into techier territory and occasional moments of murky late night darkness, but for the most part Apoena is effortlessly summery. That is never descends into 'beach house by numbers' is testament to the quality of Apoena's production.
