D.O.C. welcomes L_cio for a beautiful full-length album entitled Poema. L_cio is a Brazilian artist who brings his own flute playing to his music. He has previously collaborated with the likes of Portable on the huge hit "Surrender" and is a live act who has held residencies at plenty of key clubs in Brazil. He's also toured all over the world from Egg London to Robert Johnson in Frankfurt and released on labels like Perlon, Soul Clap Records, and D.Edge. His eight-track album is an emotive affair with deep house grooves embellished with his own spine tingling instrumentals and flute. "Paqe" kicks things off with five minutes of springtime sounds and fluttering flutes that carry you off into clear blue skies. "Canto" is more driving, with crisp drums and synth stabs all getting you into a groove. "Forte" drops into techno mood with powerful kicks and busy snares then "Complet" re-sets with two minutes of blissful flute lead ambience that is utterly calming. "Poema" is another beautiful interlude with floating synths and shimmering synths and "Avante" brings back house drums with dramatic synths and icy hi hats. "Canto2" again blisses you out with more exquisite flutes and some melancholic organ work and closer "Lagoa" is a dreamy track with animal sounds, flutes, and languid chords, all encouraging you to get horizontal. Continuously growing serious followers, Between the live performances and recent releases, L_cio has definitely secured a major place in the realm of electronic music. Beautifully crafted in collaboration of D.O.C. label boss Gui Boratto, Poema is a truly unique album that showcases L_cio's unique sound and magical sound. Engineered and produced by Gui Boratto.

Chico Buarque Construção Revisited by L_cio is a beautiful debut project part of a D.O.C. series of releases combining classic Brazilian names with D.O.C. artists and producers. On this long awaited two-track vinyl release, L_cio and Gui Boratto kept the roots of this classic track "Construção". By inserting malicious baselines, flutes, and strings, they generated aggressive melodies. "Construção" was originally recorded by Chico Buarque in 1971 with production by Roberto Menescal. Generations apart, "Construção (L_cio & K_ri Version)" and "Construção (L_cio & Boratto's Deconstructed Mix)" are the first ever authorized remixes in over 45 years.

With such a multi-faceted background in music, the inevitable tinkering with synthesizers and other means of electronic sound generation was rather a question of time than one of ambition, and sure enough L_cio absorbs the unique melange of styles and scales that inform club culture to this day. In stark contrast to most other rave inductees, he never wanted to become a DJ: his area of expertise is the performance, not the collecting and curating of other people's releases. In this release L_cio has worked with D.O.C. mastermind Gui Boratto. The result is music for the dancefloor.
