The piano-laden tracks throughout the EP radiate warmth, drawing on Barera’s 20 years in the industry to deliver a record that feels both timeless and fresh.
“Music Room” is an instant classic, filled with soaring piano melodies and a rhythm that pushes forward with a sense of freedom and joy. The track perfectly captures Barera’s current state of elation, offering a jubilant soundscape that’s sure to resonate on dancefloors worldwide.

D.D. Curry’s remix of “Essence Theme” injects dubby, UK-inspired flavors into the mix, creating a fresh take on Barera’s original work. With early support from heavyweights like Danny Krivit and Massimiliano Pagliara, the Queens House EP is a testament to Barera’s ability to evolve while staying true to his roots.
