The iconic Systematic Recordings label from Marc Romboy celebrates 20 years of existence in 2024, and to kick off a jam packed year the label will release an LP from flourishing French talent, Rafael Cerato. The ‘My Reality’ LP is the second studio album on the famous label, and the body of work spreads across thirteen cuts, seeing Cerato in his prime, showcasing the emotive and moving sound he has become synonymous with in recent years. Powerful music for the dance floor and beyond, providing limitless possibilities with timeless sounds.
Throughout the album Rafael embarks on innovative territory, and along the way finds himself collaborating with artists such as Danny Losito, Run Rivers, Alex Ronin, TuraniQa, FLU, ID ID and Angst vor Greta. Each of them adding their secret ingredients to the potion that Rafael has crafted, combining for beautiful and bold compositions. A cohesive escape for your mind wandering gracefully between refined shades of melodic techno, and house nostalgia, transcending as it blurs the lines between genres, climatised with cinematic textures.
In recent times Cerato has found himself releasing on a series of staple labels, most notably his latest mini album ‘Picture’ on Solomun’s Diynamic imprint, and his highly anticipated ‘Requiem,’ the debut album and first outing on Romboy’s Systematic. Combining with his sought after releases Rafael has shared his sound on a global scale, touring in all corners of the world in the last decade with recent tours in Australia, and South America, b2bs with Solomun in Ibiza and much, much more.
A pivotal moment of both Systematic and Rafael’s journey, a more than fitting release marking such a milestone for the label, but also a milestone of Cerato’s career. Multiple years have built up and led to this album, seeing some of his finest work to date come into fruition, live and direct.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘The Faction’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
