I have been wanting to blog about these cool cats Bach & Gina for a while now, and I finally have the chance! These guys should be big right now. Take a listen, and I think you’ll agree!

In Barcelona’ is the fresh, brand new sound from 2009 by Bach & Gina. Bach is from the north, Gina is from the South, and both had to wait till 2002 before they could finally meet and eventually collaborate musically together. Though coming from totally different musical backgrounds – the former being a saxophonist interested in dub and jazz, while the latter plays guitar and has rock and pop roots – this unlikely duo was brought together by their common interest for electronica. After a few years of working together, Bach hit the road to Barcelona where he spent a year. It was only when he came back that these two decided to work together on an electro pop album project. These guys seems to take malicious pleasure in challenging musical preconceptions about genres and styles, resulting in what could be described as some kind of ‘harmonic dancefloor’. Fluctuating between electro-rock and new disco beat, their music brings Barcelona straight into your ears, a city famous for its parties where punks, geeks, and bp’s are partying crazy style till dawn. It’s actually hard not to smile and dance when listening to B&G’s sound. With In Barcelona, their debut EP, our two heroes – as they like to be called – aim to drift from private party to private party so as to deliver their catchy sound and share their vision of partying, in which everybody fits.
