Barac – Look At The Cross EP [MAONO Records]

Bucharest-based MAONO Records presents its first vinyl-only release with Barac at the controls delivering yet another immersive sonic journey in the form of “Look At The Cross EP”. With one track on each side, the record provides an elegant and organic listening experience built on patience, precision and a rare understanding of building tension and release. Rather than forcing impact, the EP unfolds with quiet authority, drawing the listener deeper with every cycle and every subtle shift. The mastering is provided by Rob Small Mastering Ltd.

Barac has long been regarded as one of the key figures in the country’s minimal and microhouse scene, being well-known for his hypnotic, groovy and deeply detailed sound. Shaping a distinctive artistic identity around rhythm, space and subtle emotional tension, his latest productions and remixes have been published via labels like Storytellers, Moonrover Records, Lok Records, Hidden Dimension and Acmé.

Recently founded by local artist Funky Trip, MAONO Records is a platform for artists who dare to envision the unimaginable, creating sonic landscapes that transform how we perceive the world around us.

On Side A we have the title track “Look At The Cross”, an introspective composition that smoothly blends light and darkness, grounded by a distorted, deep message that drives the rhythm. Expect lavish moments of speech-driven intermissions, elegantly complemented by gliding beats and ethereal textures designed with a minimalistic aesthetic in mind.

On the flip, “Something Inside My Head” goes full groovy, unleashing a pumping vibe perfect for late-night sessions. The vocals are sampled from Cuba Gooding’s 1983 EP “Happiness Is Just Around The Bend”, balancing restraint and release with purpose. The atmosphere remains weightless yet emotionally charged, while the overall flow is simply brilliant and hypnotic. Look deeper, listen closely and you can find some hidden messages.
