In recent years, we have seen a strong comeback of hardcore and neo-trance techno, which is flooding parties and social networks. On the sidelines of this movement, hard groove, a style of techno popular at the end of the 1990s, is also making a comeback – albeit more discreetly. Among the artists participating in this revival, CucaRafa, a Portuguese DJ and producer. His compositions tick all the boxes: very energetic rhythms, pronounced and powerful percussive elements (in which he distils Latin influences), funky and dynamic bass lines adding a layer of complexity to the rhythm and obviously, an inimitable groove! A perfect meeting of past and present, propelling hard groove to the forefront.
