Laboratorio de Beats del Mediterráneo es un colectivo con base en Tarragona en estado de mutación constante que busca acercar y dar a conocer la música electrónica en directo. 

No solo produciendo eventos, también con improvisaciones colectivas abiertas al público. Ahora editan su primera recopilación en forma de EP de tres temas con creaciones propias.

Se encarga de abrir Chris Bionik con "Quark" a base de beats rotos, elegantes teclas y melancólicas melodías. Decos Drone por su parte firma "Inside Out" un track de techno hipnótico que te sumerge en texturas expansivas que crecen y crecen. El último corte lo firma Ombracle, "Fauna" con regusto a electro, fantasia modular y viajes al espacio exterior.

Ha sido mezclado y masterizado por Cristóbal García en Satélite Sound Studio. El artwork corre a cargo de Ombracle.

Nostalgia

First up in this year’s series of Selectors Podcasts one of the rising frontrunners of experimental club sounds, Silvia Kastel. Born in Southern Italy, now based in London after spending time in New York and Berlin, her experience in electronic music sprung from her studies in sound engineering and the electronic experiments she did. Starting to DJ shortly after, first as a radio DJ and later also in clubs, her go-anywhere mindset has steadily built her reputation for bringing singular club sounds to adventurous dancefloors.

  This Selectors Podcast for us is a reflection of those capabilities in the club. Apart from some radio shows, she says, this is her first mix that’s in its entirety club-oriented. That doesn’t mean there’s no room for experimentation, though. In the contrary: the mix offers layers of different genres, tempos and time signatures, while melting together polyrhythms and overdubbing synths on the fly. 

“I’m interested in creating an equally trippy and fun experience”, she explains, and included a selection by artists like 33EMYBW, MC Yallah & Debmaster, Lechuga Zafiro and Siete Catorce, who “perfectly nail that balance of dark and colourful synths and unpredictable hypnotic grooves”. The result is a mix that does exactly that — an hour of high-energy twists and turns from one of Europe’s most exciting selectors.

Every drum break from Nevermind (SATISFYING)

"I’ve always felt a deep respect for all those resident dj’s who face the first hour with an almost empty floor. Building an impeccable and risky warm up without bringing the discourse further than it should, while keeping the loyalty to the own style. In one word, inconceivable sets to do in a crowded floor. Inspired by this format I’ve done a 55 min little trip in low bpm’s, it sometimes turns into a ketamine atmosphere."

During the last 20 years, Octavi Lobo (@wilk-o) has been playing in some of the most iconic clubs in Bacelona like Razzmatazz, Moog, Laut or Macarena. Nowadays he is a resident in Sala Zero (Tarragona)at the monthly club 7D2. At the same time, he is already focused on two projects: 
Fosca (www.facebook.com/wearefosca) shared with the dj and music journalist Luis Costa (@luiscosta_deejaylui) and LBM (Laboratorio de Beats del Mediterráneo ) an experimental and collaborative space based on ephemeral electronic music producction with his partners Ombernacle (@ombracle) and Olnir (@olnir).

Eartheater unveils a new single, “Below The Clavicle.” It is her first release for PAN since her 2018 album IRISIRI.

Eartheater shares the following about the track: “I wrote ‘Below the Clavicle’ when I was waiting to understand more about a situation before talking about it — when the meaning was still below the clavicle and hadn’t made it up to my head yet. The understanding was still underground — forging in my heart and gut. In my upcoming album, I thought a lot about lava and volcanoes and the formation of stone and mountains.”
