@fabiovinuesa is an audiovisual creative, music producer, vinyl collector, and DJ based in Madrid. As one of the most active promoters of underground electronic music in Spain, he’s also the co-founder of Solid Tapes and Distrito 91 — one of the most exciting electro labels on the scene today.

“I lost count of how many times I watched Terminator as a kid — I was completely fascinated by the robot. As an adult, that fascination shifted toward the story itself: a self-aware AI that, in order to avoid being shut down, initiates a plan to wipe out humanity, triggering a full-scale war between humans and machines.”

This episode is a sonic landscape shaped around artificial intelligence and cybernetic dystopia, curated by Fabio, and includes exclusive, unreleased tracks soon to be released on D91.

Stay tuned!

TEARS IN RAIN 07 - RISE OF THE MACHINES  by Luishock w_FABIO VINUESA_JUNIO

Out now: POOL JAMS – the new album by INIT 🌊🌀

A soundtrack for sun-soaked city streets and neon-lit dreams. INIT, the Berlin-based duo of Nadia D'Alò and Benedikt Frey, return with their fourth album — a hazy blend of trip hop, dub, trance, and R’n’B grace, all twisted into something uniquely their own. Released on R.i.O., POOL JAMS feels like a faded photo from an empty pool — nostalgic, seductive, and endlessly replayable.

You can dream it. You can trance it. But once it's on, you can’t escape it.
Now streaming everywhere.

Ethics Gradient w/ Selene 04/07/25

For the latest installment in our podcast series, Internal Operator delivers a one-hour journey deeply aligned with the spirit of Espectro Oculto. Taking inspiration from the label's sonic identity, the mix dives into the raw textures of minimal synth, experimental, and 80s underground electronic music, stitched together with surgical precision and a deep respect for vinyl culture. Aside from a single 90s track, the selection pays tribute to a lost era of cold electronics and analog unrest.

Known for his intense, no-compromise sets and deep-rooted passion for electro and broken rhythms, Internal Operator brings his signature energy into a more introspective mode channeling the underground spirit of Bunker Records, the Dutch West Coast, and IFM into something intimate yet confrontational. This is not just a DJ set, it's a dialogue between decades, formats, and frequencies.

"Lowfish's music is deceptively simple, enormously catchy modern electro, eschewing currently fashionable digital trickery for good old analog skills" XLR8R

"Forget the watered-down schlock that passes for electro these days - this is pure, unadulterated synth music, and it rules" VICE

"Seriously, keine Verarsche! Hört mal genau hin, was sich da zwischen den Schaltkreisen entwickelt: ein Organismus, mehrere Zellen, Synthese dank 240 Volt!Lowfish, der bärtigste Bartträger von Toronto, forscht seit den späten Neunzigern nach Lebensformen im Schall. Gefunden hat er: zwei Dutzend EPs und acht Alben, die alle unter eigenen Label-Laborbedingungen entstanden sind. Sie enthalten Spuren von Delia Derbyshire, Mort Garson und Aphex Twin. Möglicherweise haben sich auch Tin Man und ein Dopplereffekt ins Petrischälchen verirrt. Wurscht, weil das ohnehin nur billiges Namedropping ist, um der organisch nach Luft hechelnden und ganz und gar lebendigen Gefühlsverwirrung einen Namen zu verpassen." GROOVE
