Vocalcity

by Luomo

The 2833rd greatest album of all time

Vocalcity, released in 2000 under the Luomo name, blends deep house warmth with microhouse minimalism to create a sensuous, groove-driven record. It features warm, dubby low end, understated percussion, and heavily processed, clipped vocal fragments used as melodic and rhythmic elements, with meticulous, textural production that favors space and subtle detail. The album helped crystallize a more intimate, vocal-focused strand of minimalist house and is frequently referenced in discussions of the microhouse and deep house crossover.
