Cadee makes his Factor City debut with three great original tracks driven with leftfield electronics and  followed by healthy remixes by Jackwasfaster and label honcho Undo.
Cadee is the project through which Diego Cadierno releases his more dancefloor oriented works. 
After more than five years exploring more “brain” fields (idm, breaks, electro...) with his alias Promising/Youngster, which allowed him to release in labels like Sin Hilo, Nebulae or Several Roots and play live all around Spain, Diego feels the need to go back to his more hedonist roots. This “Happiness” EP is the first released under this moniker. 
Opening the record we find “Besta”.  A very personal song with sinuous synth lines and filters. The percussions and vocals, along with the bass line drives a hypnotic and deep track. JackWasFaster remix is more raw, edgy and straight to the dance-floor, playing with the orginal synths and vocals, and adding what sounds like a distorted synthetic mouth harp.
The second track “Moving Circles” it's a playful and melodic song that captures the essence of Cadee’s approach, teasing the release with its floor-focussed sharp beats and synth stabs. 
Closing the Ep the tittle track “Happiness” it is a reflection on the happiness and responsibility of bringing a child into the world. A deep and wide tune with arpeggiated bass riffs, haunting vocals and vaporous guitars.
Undo strips down the original of its more Pop elements, vocals and guitars, and pays homage to the bass in his remix adding an hypnotic groove and mental synth lines.

Günce Aci - Through Ur Mind

We’re always happy to welcome a new artist on board. Uranio Empobrecido is the alias of Jorge Gutierrez, the founder and head engineer of the NANO Modules synthesizers brand based and born in Valencia.

He creates his music using his own modular creations together with drum machines. Influenced by electro & breakbeat his music is mechanical, dark and cold as ice. But full of analog warmth at the same time. Here we have three new examples of his raw, energetic and very personal take on electronic music. Moving electrons back and forth!

We instantly thought in Ratlife’s honcho and electro wizard Credit 00 to remix one of the tracks on the ep. He choosed “Bandpass Activated” and delivered a monster of a remix with his very own sound signature.

For the second remix we asked Facets head of Samo records. He delivered a 4x4 dope rework paying tribute to Valencia’s “ruta del bakalao” sound and energy. Perfect way to complete the ep.

Back From The Wave - Escape From The Void (Jorkes Remix) (FC068)

Factor City kicks off its third decade in full swing, led by Undo solo and accompanied by its usual partners Casiowaves and Vicknoise.

It all began in 2003 when Undo & Vicknoise laid the foundation for the label with "Noctámbula," and over the years, they continued to collaborate closely, managing the label and producing "hits" such as "Orca" or "Happy Monday." From 2011 onward, following an amicable parting, Undo began to run the label solo while maintaining the same spirit and distinctive sound of the Barcelona-based label, always at the forefront of dance music produced in Spain.

Now, in 2024, in a "digital” world where fewer and fewer things can be touched with our fingers and where 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day, Factor City is charting a different course and starts a new decade on the dance floors by returning to vinyl releases and persisting in their low key and relaxed approach, releasing few and carefully curated records from their artists each year. 

“Ciudad Futura” opens with "Good Times," a track by Undo that radiates joy and positivity. An euphoric ride through landscapes of analog synthesizers and drum machines. The second track on side A is signed by Undo & Vicknoise, who hadn't produced together in 15 years. And we hope they won't take as long to get back in the studio together after hearing the fantastic track "Electric Rainbow." A delightful slice of electro-disco. 

The B side is signed by the recent combo of Undo and Casiowaves. The first track, "Secret Worlds," follows in the wake of their recent releases on Factor City and Melodize with that winning combination of retro 80s and 90s synths with vocoders and a more contemporary production. Closing out the record is "Astralia," a vibrant "power synth pop" anthem adorned with FM synths and acid-tinged melodies.

Vicknoise was the alter ego of Victor Palomo, also known as Shelby Grey (DJ, producer, and co-founder of Factor City Records alongside Undo). Producing and spinning, his imagination ran wild and limitless. Inspiration came from everywhere, from the roots of techno and electro, Chicago, Detroit, house, and disco, to soundtracks and avant-garde electronics. A true connoisseur.

Unfortunately, Victor left us in September 2024. This album is dedicated to his memory with a selection of some of his best tracks on Factor City. It includes an unreleased track with Sistema and two tracks with Undo that were only published on vinyl.

Rest in peace. Factor Forever!

Breakfast At Tivoli's

The beautiful EP "Moist" from Offset, including a Morgan Hammer remix is the first release of 2016 for Undo’s Factor City label. 
Offset (a.k.a. Philippe Juven), with previous releases for Correspondant and Days Of Being Wild, debuts on Factor City with two original tracks where he shows again his ability for composing catchy melodies as well as playing and producing with synths and drum machines. 
His music is hypnotic, elegant, full of details and has influences from Detroit pioneers Carl Craig and Drexciya/Dopplereffekt to Synth and Cold Wave, Italo, Industrial and Post-Punk. Morgan Hammer, who has similar influences, is a rising French star with hot releases on Optimo and Astrolab. She delivers an epic remix of the title track.
We like it when it’s dark but we also like to see the light and Offset’s music brings a lot of light.
Thanks for listening!

Undo’s Factor City imprint celebrates 15 years on the dance floor with a compilation featuring new music from a mix of Factor City affiliates and friends. 10 new secret weapons from one of Spain’s most-loved labels.
The record includes late night jams from long-term friends as Fairmont, Lontano, Nhar, Sigward & Oliver Sudden, Dawad and label boss Undo, and new friends and recent additions to the rooster like Offset, Cabaret Nocturne, Dimitri Veimar and Damon Jee that makes his label debut. All of them has played at the infamous label parties in Barcelona, Marseille, Madrid and beyond.
The music as always is hard to define or label. From beautiful modular synth soundscapes, to sharp driven-synth melodies. From delicate and vaporouse electro to euphoric electronic rides. From darkness to sonic bliss. From techno to krautrock and back. 81 to 128 bpm. Nostalgic and futuristic. Emotive and leftfield. Music that won't leave your head anytime soon. And despite the 'various artists'-format, the here gathered stylistic approaches and track-turned mindsets make a strikingly coherent body of work.
"Future City” will be out on November 27th. Artwork courtesy of David Imbernon. Mastered by Yves Roussel.

Thanks for listening!

Sigward & Oliver Sudden - Kailash ft. Mirza - Snippet

First Factor City release in 2019 comes from the hands of Mexican producer Cabizbajo. Three strong originals followed by an excellent Naduve remix.  Roberto Escobosa aka Cabizbajo is part of a burgeoning and exciting generation of Mexican producers who are carving their own path with their exciting music. With releases & remixes for Nein and Turbo, it was a meeting with label boss Undo, whilst playing at Topaz de Lux in Monterrey, that has lead him to the Factor City family.   When he sent these new tracks it was love at first listen for us. The title track “New Me” showcases Cabizbajo singing talent and his vocals drive an original and powerful tune with a martial rhythmic propulsion and bright synths. All a declaration of intentions. “Triggered” and “Lange” are perfectly crafted synth driven weapons for the dancefloor.  On Remix duty we chose one of our favourite producers from Tel Aviv. Naduve’s take on New Me is a deep and spooky heater. A stripped down version with detuned synth arpeggios, reversed vocals and subtle percussions that create an hypnotic atmosphere thats perfect for the club or early morning after parties.  Cover illustration by David Imbernon.

Undo_Password_The Hacker remix

JackWasFaster makes his debut for Factor City with four excellent dancefloor cuts that bridge the currents of slow-mo techno and cosmic disco, a perfect blend of darkness and light. The EP is completed with a dope remix by Younger Than Me.

Manu Cachero, a.k.a. JackWasFaster, is one of Madrid’s brighest talents. With previous releases in Rotten City, Nein or Esthetique, it was a matter of time before we saw his music landing in Factor City. JackWasFaster’s work has earned him a wealth of support from some of the scene names such as Andrew Weatherall, Sean Johnston, Massimiliano Pagliara, or Curses, to name a few.  

Opening the EP, we find “Busybody killer” a slow heater where we can hear his EBM and post-punk influences creating a dark futuristic landscape. Tomorrow’s harvest. 
Or not, because there’s a lot of light on the EP as well. “Luddites Fan Page” is a disco-infected tune full of bright synths and instant melodies. Manu’s voice on the background gives the track a Balearic touch. We find the same sound coordinates, feel-good vibes and sense of humor on “They don’t make commercials as they used to.” Here arpeggiated synths lead this playful song, perfect for summer dancefloors as things are winding down or up.
The last original track is “Perro viejo”. And darkness is back again. There’s something to fear in this 12’ apocalyptic jam built around pulsating beats, an industrial atmosphere, and acid synths.  
We asked rising Italian duo Younger Than Me to remix one of the tracks from the EP and they chose “Perro viejo”. They’ve condensed and tensed the original by adding synth stabs and vocal chops. Rave on!

We are happy to present the second and last ep with remixes from the great sophomore Undo album "Motas de Polvo". This time remixed by the likes of Fairmont, We Are Happy Here and Maurice Aymard.

Fairmont's remix of "Motas de Polvo"is a clear prove of his class at the controls. He delivers an epic remix giving more energy, new beats and melodies but respecting a lot the original.

We Are Happy Here are Nhar and Jennifer Cardini. His remix of “Whispers” is deep, warm and sexy. Including Jennifer's vocals, dark beats and subtle percussions.

Maurice Aymard is the man behing Galaktika and Apersonal labels. His remix of “El Crit” gives a house feel that fits really well to the original.

Thanks for listening!
