Each of the 10 tracks on "Familia" resonates with so much direct emotion that the set might as well feature full vocals (only a handful of tracks have even the slightest vocal snippet). It sounds like Art of Noise, Juan Atkins, maybe even a bit of Roni Size, but Bucci is very much his own artist. "I don't buy records. I don't listen to music," he says from his home in Berlin. "I don't have a turntable at home to listen to records. Lately everyone is sending me demos, a bunch of music from my friends, and really, they are still in their packages." "Familia" is the first full-length release for U.K.-based Crosstown, the pet imprint of rising electro DJ star Damian Lazarus. Bucci will hit the road with his label boss later this month for a four-date American tour, during which he'll re-create the album's dewy sounds with two synthesizers and a laptop powered by Ableton Live software. Something tells me those shows should not be missed. - Kerri Mason, Billboard Magazine
