Caspa Codina is an artist on the verge of breaking from underground into the public-eye..
Several sought-after 12» releases over the last few years have earned him fans amongst the most notable Djs & club-goers. DJs including: Andrew Weatherall, John Kennedy (Xfm), Teifschwarz, Rob da Bank, Richard X, Ivan Smagghe, Matthew Herbert; have been spinned his 12”s since the beginning. And his single "Tell Me" become a much loved classic at Momos & Sketch.
"Get Your Motor Started" is the penultimate single release before his long-awaited debut album “Caspa Codina” comes out in 2007. It is Caspa at his most up-front, dance-floor friendly. A Duane Eddy-style-guitar-driven Romp; it brings to mind ‘Thin White Duke’ era Bowie, Talking Heads quirkiness, but with a post-disco, electro bounce that will drive anyone who hears it [whether dancing in a club or nodding their heads as they drive their car] buck wild… This is the magic of the sound of Caspa; influences taken from the most special moments of 70s & 80s pop & funk, but worked by producer Gabriel Olegavich into a sound that could only be created in 2007.
In fact the mysterious Caspa Codina is really an alter-ego (or imaginary cousin!) of Gabriel Olegavich, the super busy production & writing talent behind Lady Sovereign, UK electro/punk band Spektrum, Grime act Medasyn, and up-coming Manchester MC Envy. So thank god, Caspa has finally managed to persuade his other half to spend some more time in the studio & deliver the fanastic Get Your Motor Started (and the many other quirky-pop tracks on the debut album).
