An exciting horizon of textures, landscapes and evanescent worlds, close to a dreamlike experience, are synthesized in Espai, Temps i Materia, the title of the new HC Records reference signed by the Valencian duo Spammerheads, formed by Ana Escudero and David Garrido. An audio-visual project forged in 2019 under the punk concept "do it yourself" in which both sound and graphic creation (videos and covers) have been developed by the duo.

A warm reference formed by seven tracks leaded by the one giving title to the album. Espai, Temps i Materia introduces us to a silky and melodic set of gliding arpeggios intelligently backed by padding and shiny pads, a composition formed in two tempos over ten exciting minutes.

The overwhelming power of Cosmic Lunch hits us in a melodic spiral, where a composition in a continuous in crescendo in which sound layers are added and pushed by a thick and warm bass culminates in a satisfactory interruptus in the final stretch of the song, where that emotionality gives way to an epilogue full of mystery and dark atmospheres.

Singularidad Relativa fits perfectly with the previous track, immersing us in a bubbling oppressive atmosphere, where a pulsating and pungent synth goes by through a forest of smoked crystals and facing mirrors that confuse our senses and infuse us with a certain train atmosphere.

A Small Plot of Nothing is a blinding glow in the dark, where once again Spammerheads bring us closer to a futuristic dance floor in which dominant cadences are allied with an effective rhythmic structure in the key of a broken rhythm that serves as the basis for an immense dance of harmonic chains.

As if we found ourselves under a rain of unknown chemical compounds, Swinging Particles appears to us as a disturbing tubular composition where vibrant hi hats converse with acidic and tumultuous sequences that denote a comforting spiritual sense of unease.

The comeback to the stars converges in Chaos Routine, an oscillating space where sliding musical notes play with jumping and complementary harmonies, keeping total consistency with the general discourse of the sound narration.

The counter-rhythms appear in Beware Out There, closing the album and finishing it off in an exciting and ascending journey in search of a melancholic epic that takes us back to the atmospheres created in the mystery and science fiction series of past decades.

An edition composed of twenty-five cassettes in which we differentiate between the standard edition, where the graphic art is conducted by the neat and advanced design of Dani Requeni performing a creative tandem with Spammerheads and their special edition (five units), created by the musicians themselves, with a spectacular cover that simulates a mineral formation using clay and paint.

Finally, the mastering duties have been carried out in Berlin by Daniel Kyo giving it an unbeatable sound finish.

Acomys was born from the idea of searching for sounds influenced by African and Oriental Arabian tribes, in a mixture of synthesised music. A peculiar and sovereign sound combining the everyday with the abstract, creating sounds and rhythms glitched with powerful basses and in this album in particular, something more melodic than in previous albums by the artist Desi Calatayud.

Acomys nace de la idea de buscar sonidos de influencia de tribus africanas y orientales árabes, en una mezcolanza de música sintetizada. Sonido peculiar y soberano combinando lo cotidiano con lo abstracto, creando sonidos y ritmos glicheados con bajos potentes y en este disco en especial, algo más melódico que en discos anteriores del artista Desi Calatayud.

Present moments of the past, sound reminiscences of the early 90s Valencia, slide through the grooves of our next reference to internally shake and stir those motionless minds and entities that gravitate imperceptibly around us like white noise due to the implantation of the system, so that they awaken to the understanding of their own purpose.

The architect behind this premise is Asymetric80, the pseudonym behind which Gonzalo Sendón from Barcelona promotes his musical inquisitiveness and tries to roll out his rage before the uncertain moments in which we find ourselves while destroying the dance floor. Thus, he gives us Static Minds, the thirteenth vinyl reference on HC Records. It is a release with four original songs and two remixes by Siarem and WLDV in the physical version, which are completed with five extra songs in the digital one.

On side A, first of all, we find Hidden Visions, a blast that invites us to reflect on the origin of freedom of speech through a forceful bass drum, arpeggiated basses and synths that come together with surgical percussions and a structuring discourse passage.

Next, we find the remix of Hidden Visions that Siarem has created. Here, our already habitual on the label, provides further pression with a dreamy EBM key adding and twisting layers, without losing the forceful, arpeggiated and vindictive orientation of the original.

The last track of the first side is Nahual, where the predominance of a great arpeggiated bass and a clear and overwhelming snare drum are combined with varied melodic sequences that invite us to dress up in our best clothes and set out on the route from Barcelona to Valencia to burn our favourite club dancefloor.

Already on the B side, Astral Body takes us back to those crazy nights of frenzy and musical experimentation, a specialty of the Levant thanks to the new sounds coming from central Europe, but with the intention of making us let loose the held back internal rage by dancing with our fists raised high due to the euphoria incited by its elaborate layers of basses, arpeggios and winding pads.

Next, WLDV delivers his version of Astral Body, taking us to a more combative terrain in which all the heavy weapons have been deployed on the battlefield to reverse the anesthetized and collective state of our society through a continuous bombing of percussion and synthesizers as lysergic as destructive.

Fractal closes this episode of long-awaited awakening, a track that captures and cloaks you through its tangle mess of synthetic melodies and forceful percussive pulses to remind us that there is something, something beyond what they have so resignedly and effectively instilled us with.

The finishing touch to the physical reference is provided by the digital part, where we find the definitive epilogue to this declaration of intent that thus reaches the category of mini-album. Archetype, Symbiosis, Timeline, Hologram and Fragments, with a big download of crystal-clear snares and percussions and grandly intertwined melodies and arpeggios, raise the ante around inner rediscovery after beating society's rotten operating system in the shade of the dance floor.

Last but not least, we have our usual comrades Dani Requeni in charge of the artistic section and graphic design and Steve Voidloss offering the purity of his mastering process handcrafted at Black Monolith Studios in London.

B2 - Astral Body (WLDV Remix)

In the centre of the massive return of the electronic music scene to proper events, after almost two years of forced shutdown, the new work by David Meiser on the Valencian label HC Records sees the light.

“Who Wants The Night reflects the held back rage of an audience that has been forced to dance in his living room for too long. It is a hymn to make the night ours again”.

The sound of the EP has clear influences from EBM bands, such as Nitzer EBB or Front 242, but it also adds elements of the new punk movement that we had previously seen in bands like The Prodigy. All under the characteristic Meiser sound based on interlaced arpeggios, sharp cymbals and a careful editing of the voices that the artist sings himself. The EP has an original track and 3 remixes by HC Records producers (Siarem, Filmmaker, Abiz Sonko) who make a good balance by taking the original track, more oriented to the club dancefloor, to other more purist and experimental sound dynamics, respectively.

The video clip, which was recorded in the old Aliaga thermal power plant, reflects on the influences of industrial music and EBM both on the album and throughout Meiser's career. It has been directed by Carlos Amorés (APV Films) and has the support of Marga VM.

“I had already worked with Amorés on other occasions. We understand each other very well when it comes to moving even the smallest detail from the sound to the black and white image. He is my right hand. Marga has brought the rave aesthetic that we wanted to convey. The message was clear: ‘dance as if no one was looking at you, the night is yours again’”.

In the centre of deep space we tune in to the radio broadcasts from an old Class T interstellar spaceship. The emissions endlessly resonate the frequencies of the seventeenth release on the label HC Records by one of the titans of the Valencian scene, The Lost Boys, new pseudonym of the DJ and producer Raszia.

With releases on labels such as Bass Agenda, Subsist or Hxagrm Records, the artist mesmerises our senses with the Exiles of Mars Ep, available in both double vinyl and digital. Syncopated rhythms are the protagonists across four original tracks together with remixes by four electro legends: Boris Divider, Estrato Aurora, Dark Vektor, and Filmmaker.

We welcome the English creator from Manchester Mark Wilkinson aka @kidmachine  to @hypnoticacolectiva
Records 👏
This album of 13 songs on vinyl and 4 digital bonus tracks, already seemed historic to us at the time of closing the album, but now it seems like a real event as it is the last one that the artist will publish under the pseudonym KID MACHINE. ⏹
Mark himself decided to cancel the launch presentation event by giving up on never performing as KID Machine again. ▶️ 🚫
Event that was scheduled for Saturday 1/20/24 at our record store / Dance Club. 
🎙🎛 🔊 ✖
Of course we respect and support the artist's decision, no one more than deciding when to end a cycle and start another. ✅
We are fully convinced that these new works will be impressive as this one seems to us, in other different and evolving electronic music trends. 🎶
Therefore we insist that we are possibly facing a historical work of completely heavenly music that appears to be something different from everything we have released as a label. 🎹
Thank you very much Mark for this latest work, we support you to death. 🙌🙌🙌

After 10 years working as a collective in order to create a movement where the musical aspirations that define us had their place, in Hypnotica Colectiva we have taken the decission of expanding our horizons and thrown ourselves into the rest of aspects that conform electronic music culture.
One of the results of this decission is Hypnotica Colectiva Records, the platform where we'll try to reflect our musical values.

Without any inhibition, without labels, without expiring date, without any predominant doctrine. Our intention will be to publish the work of all those artists that we could identify with. The known, and the yet to know. As you could be.

For the occasion we create this space where you can send us your proposals:

label[at]hypnoticacolectiva.es

Hypnotica Colectiva pretends to start its way as a vinyl pressing based record label. Although each release will be digitally distributed after a while. Our catalogue will be hosted in Bandcamp. And of course, every release will be mastered by high level professional studios.

Starting right now to work hopefully in this project where we expect to share our passion, counting on your contribution.
