moca is back! With „cabriolet“ the foreman of a barrier free listening pleasure put their feet on the oor again. It is their third release after the worldwide impacting albums „Wroooooooooam“ (2003) and „Tempomat“ (2007)
ELECTRONIC MUSIC- HANDMADE.
Sorry, listeners, but the moca sound is uncategoriz- able. It melts snippets from funk, bits of jazz, a little latin here and there, a drop of pop. Moca blend it with various electronic styles and forge unique listening pearls of wide musical range. In this unpa- ralleled moca universe, moments of sheer beauty alternate with real beasts of beat. Relaxed virtuosity melts with smart arrangements. All songs combine delicious grooves, classy harmonies and catchy me- lodies: unique moca.
Numerous friends joined moca in the studio and added their colors to the new album. Outstanding: Ashley Slater, singer of the iconic acid jazz band Freakpower (UK) around Norman aka Fatboy Slim, contributes incredibly cool vocals on two tracks. Moca remixed a WDR Big Band version of latin-clas- sic „Oye como va“ by Tito Puente / Carlos Santana. Resistance is futile – you will be be mocarized!

“The song Freakpower never wrote!“ (Ashley Slater / Freakpower)
A qoute as an accolade for moca. The acid jazz heroes of Freakpower around Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim have been one of the most important musical in uences for Christian and Martin Becker. Working with Ashley was a real pleasure – you can hear it. For all serenity – this track really pushes with hymnic power. And it gets even better: „Freakpower“ have reunited.
