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.

This Great Nothing

It’s time for the next release of the Momentum series by Fonz.
"Humanize" has a memorable groovy baseline, which is supported by strong synth stabs and a shaker that effectively structures the track. This song is meant to get you moving, with a rhythm that is both mesmerizing and dancefloor-ready.
"Ode To Strange" combines vocal chops with an array of bell and synth sounds, resulting in an infectiously cheerful feeling. The track's unique baseline adds depth and character, making it a standout piece that exemplifies Fonz's particular style.
Fonz elaborates on the essence of "Ode To Strange": "It brings together a collection of recurring sounds and adds the necessary imprint that allows the common to be transformed and thus, turn it into another story. This imprint is what makes us human and allows us to continue innovating and creating irreplaceable things."
He continues to reflect on the broader theme of the EP: "In times where the comfort zone is what we embrace the most and where everything has to be within standards, strangeness fades and so does our creativity and personal imprint. Don't let what differentiates you from the commonplace fade."

The Loop

Triple Orbit Club

The tracks operate as studies in unresolved repetition: the groove never explodes — it tightens, trapping the listener in a loop.
Every element undergoes a selection process before being allowed to exist; nothing is ornamental.
The structure is skeletal: dry percussion, micro-variations, and negative space charged with tension.
This is sound built at the threshold between the organic and the mechanical, where precision holds more weight than excess. The driving force of the music isn’t progression, but suspension — the constant possibility of something about to happen that never does.
Slow Distillation.
