TORRE returns to Musiq Voyage with *Phocaea Vol. 2*, a new chapter in their ongoing Mediterranean journey. The Aix-en-Provence duo, Jean-Marc and Patrick Torre, present two original tracks, “Sormiou” and “Les Sirènes du Frioul,” inspired by Marseille, its coastline, and the deep connection between the city and the sea. Blending disco, house, boogie, and Balearic influences, TORRE once again craft a warm, hypnotic, and distinctly Mediterranean sound.
The EP is rounded out by two remixes from leading figures in the Italian underground scene. *Gigi Testa, one of the most respected names in Naples’ deep house scene, brings his signature soulful, deep, and groove-driven approach to the TORRE sound, while **Giovanni Damico** delivers a refined rework infused with funk, cosmic textures, and dancefloor energy. Together, the four tracks offer different perspectives on the same Mediterranean landscape, moving seamlessly from sunlit afternoons to late-night club atmospheres.
With more than two decades of musical exploration behind them, TORRE have built a distinctive sound that blends disco, house, and electronic music, earning support from artists such as Carl Craig and releasing underground favorites including *Corps à Corps* and *Baleora*. With *Phocaea Vol. 2*, Musiq Voyage and TORRE continue to explore their own Mediterranean mythology—from the turquoise waters of Sormiou to the mysterious shores of Frioul—with a release that feels equally at home on a Balearic beach, a Marseille terrace, or a late-night dance floor.
