La Diva - Dacapo

Review by Lauren Automatic

Dacapo by La Diva: A 1994 Time Capsule of Pure Euro House Magic Let’s cut to the chase—Dacapo by La Diva is one of those albums that feels like it was beamed straight outta a neon-lit '90s rave. Released in 1994 under Hansa Records, this record isn’t just electronic music; it’s an unapologetic celebration of euphoria, energy, and pure dance-floor madness. With its mix of Euro House, Happy Hardcore, Trance, and good ol’ House vibes, Dacapo hits you right where it counts—in the feet first, then the soul. First off, let me shout out O'Kano 1 and O'Kano 2 for crafting lyrics and melodies so catchy they feel illegal. And props to The Berman Brothers (yeah, producers AND mixers!) for making every track sound crisp enough to slap even today. But what makes this album unforgettable? It’s gotta be the sheer variety. Seven mixes of “Dacapo” give you options depending on your mood—or maybe how much caffeine you’ve had. Now, let’s zoom in on two tracks because, honestly, reviewing all seven would take forever. First up: “Dacapo (Trance Mix).” This one’s my personal favorite. From the moment the synths kick in, it’s like someone injected joy directly into my bloodstream. There’s something about the way the melody builds—it climbs higher and higher until you’re practically levitating. You can hear why trance fans fell hard for this era. It’s not just music; it’s escapism bottled up in five minutes and change. Every time I listen, I’m transported back to sweaty clubs with lasers slicing through foggy air. Yeah, buddy. That kind of vibe. Then there’s “Dacapo (Hardcore Diva Mix),” which flips the script entirely. If the Trance Mix is floaty and dreamy, this version grabs you by the collar and demands you move. The beat is relentless, almost aggressive—but in the best possible way. It reminds me of late-night drives with the windows down, shouting along to nonsense lyrics while life feels infinite. Honestly, if this doesn’t get your heart racing, check your pulse. What strikes me most about Dacapo is how timeless it feels despite being nearly three decades old. Sure, some parts might scream '90s, but the core emotion behind these songs still resonates. Maybe it’s the optimism baked into every note or the fact that dancing has always been humanity’s go-to antidote for chaos. Either way, listening to this album feels like rediscovering an old photo album—you remember exactly who you were when you first heard it, but now you see it with fresh eyes. And here’s the kicker: As much as we love streaming playlists nowadays, nothing beats flipping through physical copies of albums like this. Imagine finding Dacapo tucked away in a dusty bin at a thrift store. Would you recognize its genius? Or would it sit there, waiting for another chance to shine? So yeah, hats off to La Diva, O’Kano, The Berman Brothers, and everyone else involved. They didn’t just make an album—they created a snapshot of pure, unfiltered joy. Now excuse me while I blast the Club Mix and pretend I’m living my best Euro House fantasy.
