https://interpret-music.com Following on from their trailblazing debut, the second offering INT02 from Interpret finds Upercent presenting a five-track showcase. Based in València, the Spanish artist has continued to delight forward-thinking music connoisseurs with his daring brand of electronic futurism. An enthusiastic attitude towards experimentation, coupled with extraordinary creative vision has made Upercent one of the more unique artists to emerge in recent years. Continuing to explore and expand his sonic palate, the Valencia resident now returns with the much anticipated ‘Sentit Opost’.

Highly stylized across its five selections, it is the eclectic experimentation of ‘Agrair’ which sets the tone for the release. Backed by a buoyant cadence, a storyboard of stammered vocal edits and fluttery sax riffs delight against a backdrop of exotic drums and percussive fragments. Building with a subdued majesty, its smoky resonance makes you think but also feel, conjuring up otherworldly visions, perhaps from a time we’ve yet to experience. For Upercent, it’s a piece that holds special significance, not only for its arcane nature but for the time in which it was crafted.

Moving forward, Upercent’s avant-garde style raises the bar with the florid sounds of ‘Les Granotes’. Concise and stirring at under six minutes in length, its cerebral nature is enthralling, bound by themes that are both organic and electric. Although a pang of melancholia seeps out of each icy tone, there is a note of jubilance in Upercent’s discombobulated beats and militant design qualities. It’s this limitless exhalation that takes the Valencia resident back to his childhood, reflecting on a time where the roots of this creation ultimately lie.

Spectacular sonic acrobats unite on the project’s third selection ‘Atrapa’, an expression translated from its Valencian origins to ‘addicted to something you like’. Upercent’s rhythmic expression has always been one of his most identifiable and inimitable traits. Here he explores that narrative further with clever coactions between layers of machine-gun-like cadence, morphing vocals and lively percussive splashes. Its adventurous spirit is something Upercent relishes in, as he continues to survey his creative process.

Splitting moods between the exotic and dystopian is ‘Romancer’. A frenetic sci-fi delight, complete with the perfect balance of rhythmic crunch and diabolic distortion. Succinct in delivery and monolithic in design, it etches towards a darker monochrome, perfectly setting the stage for the collection’s closer and most experimental cut ‘Arquitecte’. A unique and entrancing sonic ecosystem accentuated by whimsical vocal fragments and ghostly electronics. A piece where Upercent stretches his creative scope further while remaining fluid within the confines of the release.

Often celebrated for his ability to blend, blur and cross-pollinate genres, Upercent has ventured further with the ‘Sentit Opost’ collection, into a time of true innovation, traversing a multitude of realms and dimensions, while excelling throughout.

Hello Complainants,

Opening 2024 at Complaint Kulture with style I've asked @mulyamusic if he has some unfinished projects laying on his Lacie drive and I was lucky to receive two mediocre tracks launching our year nicely.

"Dark Idols" is a totally suitable choice for these gloomy autumn days. Deep, hypnotic and chemically clean sound design flavored with free samples from Splice. A perfect representation of business melodic of the moment.

Greetings,
@sobek1

MULYA - Dark Idols

'El Afilador' EP is an electronic manifest that weaves Mexican-inspired sounds, cinematic and sound effects, blurring the lines between ancient history and futuristic soundscapes; is a sonic storytelling idea that transformed into an unfolding narrative that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of tradition and modernity. It's a sonic journey that embraces the richness of Mexican heritage while inviting contemplation on the universal themes that connect us all providing a space for introspection and connection with the broader human

PREMIERE: Gáme (MX) - Planeta Sono [Innuendo]

Upercent makes his debut on Frau Blau with 'Mongolics EP'.

Sonic experimentalist Upercent has made quite a name for himself in the last few years.
Bursting onto the scene over a decade ago, his singular vision and avant-garde style have won him plaudits from across the musical spectrum. Signed to an impressive number of high profile labels including Innervisions, Watergate, Kompakt and more. Upercent continues to delight.

Opening with the rollicking disco of title track 'Mongolics' industrial drums and metallic percussion are the perfect milieu for the sinister male vocals that drive the track, with squelchy keys hooking you in midway.

On the remix duties, Sam Shure takes a leaf out of 2ManyDJs book and dubs us out with his 'Drum Treat' — Finishing the pack off, another original, 'Begine' Tough 808 kicks and scattergun percussion framework some wonky computer sounds and repeating arps.

Totally wacky and infectiously fun. A Tour de Force!

EXCLUSIVE: Bouzidi - Tell Me Where We Are  [Eastern Standard]

Berlin Hypnotic House XIV (Backwards Move Club Mix)

Hailing from one of Europe's historical hot beds for electronic music, Valencia, Upercent makes his well deserved return to KX. Electronic music culture runs deep in his hometown. Barraca, with 50 years of age one of the world's longest running clubs was instrumental in developing what later on became the global phenomenon called Balearic Disco, one of the blueprints for modern clubbing as we know it. Upercent's take on house music is shaped by his unorthodox use of classical instruments and a deep understanding of groove. His new double header for Kompakt's offshoot KX once again proves Upercent's knack for highly infectious hooks and elegant story-telling. Both "Ocell" and "Explota" are fine examples of his tremendous skills in creating state of the art club music with depth and vigor.
