John Barera presents Queens House EP (incl. Ali Berger and D​.​D. Curry remixes)

John Barera, a mainstay of the American underground dance music scene, makes his Fortune Signal debut with the Queens House EP, a euphoric exploration of love, family, and life. This four-track release sees Barera celebrating his recent journey into fatherhood and the creation of a new home in Queens, NY. The EP opens with lush, piano-driven house grooves, showcasing Barera’s undeniable ability to craft deeply emotive and groove-heavy tracks. Known for his work with labels like Allergy Season, 2MR, and Dolly, Barera’s 20 years of experience shine through, culminating in a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

The EP’s centerpiece, "Music Room," is a standout, blending rich chords with infectious rhythms that evoke a joyful and carefree vibe. It’s the type of track that lifts the spirits, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the music. Barera’s veteran touch is evident in every detail, from the smooth basslines to the crisp percussion. Ali Berger’s remix of "Music Room" deepens the track, turning it into a hypnotic journey with a more meditative edge, while Fortune Signal co-founder D.D. Curry puts his signature UK flavor on "Essence Theme," adding dub-infused textures that breathe new life into the track. Barera’s Queens House EP is a heartfelt release that blends personal reflection with dancefloor energy, creating a record that’s as emotionally resonant as it is groovy.
