Four years after his debut album, Un mapa del alma, for Foehn Records, DJ and producer Ishak Benavides is back with a hand steady from the experience of live gigs, showcases and rehearsals. Without straying too far from the fragile sound of his first album, Pequeño almanaque espacial is one of the most dynamic, lyrical, colourful and imaginative releases on Spain’s well-regarded electronic music scene.
Lucius Works Here has taken on singer Luw, who adds shine to excellent compositions such as “A Diamond Row” and “Caroline Herschel”. Christian A. Korn (Songstore), an experienced sound engineer, has produced the record, bringing out the innumerable details hidden in each track. Pianos, guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, harps and a virtuoso use of the sampler shape and give depth to this effortlessly magnetic work. Matias Bosch

In the 90s he toyed with electronic music production but it wasn’t until 2004 that he created his project named Lucius Works Here. In his work, he captures his own field recordings, makes use of samplers as well as monologues taken from films, and mixes them with his own compositions. The style is bright and organic, at times sounding like IDM, or ambient.
