spa.RK records have just picked up bRUNA's first collection of songs, his debut LP And It Matters To Me To See You Smiling.

Even before Carles aka bRUNA had released any records, he'd already caused a few critical ears to sit up and give praise to the tracks on his Myspace. But it was his Heartbreak EP on Paradigma Musik that really showed him to be a name to watch out for, as he explored the territory between deep melodic music, and electronic rhythms for the dance, in a sound that's uniquely his own. Now he delivers a whole album - a distillation of his myriad influences, while still searching for new forms.

Check the track Don't Give Up below, and also listen to his set at Sónar 2008 here.
