“Don't know. Sorta feels good. Sorta stiff and that, but once I get going... then I like, forget everything. And... sorta disappear. Sorta disappear. Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I've got this fire in my body. I'm just there. Flyin' like a bird. Like electricity. Yeah, like electricity.” - Billy E.

Indie mouth, electronic feet. LA based organic/melodic house musician and producer Tim Lacatena just released his third single, “Secret of the Fair”.
With burning electronic beats and a silky raw voice raised on Duran Duran, Lacatena combines a whiff of nostalgia with a need to dance in a moonlit rave. Distant cousin of Erasure and Kid Francescoli. Lacatena’s early singles provide a first glimpse of an artist in bloom.
“If you time it right might catch a flash of the boy who bends the tide.”
“Billy Electric”
Discography
From synth-flaunting electropop to deeply personal storytelling, Lacatena’s debut album provides the first glimpse of an artist in bloom.

Through the vapor tail we play, no sorrow here.
