Here is the interview!

ACTANT: Can you tell me about your artist name PWCCA?

PWCCA: PWCCA is the Welsh name for a demonic creature or spirit, playful but dangerous. It was my evolution as a musician, a shift from my old AKA to a more defined and technically advanced sound. I also chose it because I like its written aesthetic.

ACTANT: PWCCA was born in 2019, but you produced earlier under the name Dr Cyanide. Can you tell me about the transition between the two?

PWCCA: It was the evolution that arose with the improvement of my production techniques and my ideas, although in reality, and logically, they still have some connection, since they are two AKA to produce the same style of music.

ACTANT: Why do you make music?

PWCCA: For me, it's a way of expression, entertainment and escape, I always wanted to create tools to be able to use in own DJ sets, to be able to listen to my music in the hands of great DJs… although it is true that today in my performances as a DJ, my music is what I use the least, since when I perform in Live format obviously, everything that sounds is mine, but a great motivation long ago was this.

ACTANT: The sound of your productions is  haunting, rough, extremely repetitious. What is the attraction of these sounds for you?

PWCCA: In techno music, I've always loved repetition. In fact, I think it's part of its essence. I like creating dense, dark, and dirty sounds. They particularly immerse me in an intense mental journey. Today, I don't want to give rise to frivolous sounds in my work, at least that's what I try to convey or capture.

ACTANT: As a record label, Hardtools seems to embrace a dark aesthetic, pointing at an interest in death, spirits, ghosts, and so forth. Do these realms hold a power that can be utilised in music?

PWCCA: For me, darkness, death, the universe or all of this that no one knows about, inspires me when creating my sound, I don't like to link my sound or the sound of different artists of the label, with colors or images that are not serious or more "Fun" I think that over time, I have become more strict with those things hehe, it doesn't mean that techno is this, but in my case it is what inspires me the most.

ACTANT: Where do you see techno evolving in the future? Will real, dark techno continue to expand as society continues to erode?

PWCCA: Techno will likely continue to expand because it taps into a collective sense of restlessness. It's a search for refuge, often logically linked to having fun. Many young artists will take over and maintain the essence, while others who seemed authentic will sell out to the highest bidder without flinching. It has always happened and will always continue to happen; it's part of the game.

ACTANT: What makes Spain such a powerful force in techno?

PWCCA: I think there are and have been great techno artists in Spain, influenced by the right sources. Many artists who have forged a unique and remarkable sound, known worldwide, highly influential people like Oscar Mulero, supporting national material. I think the different artists who re-emerge have a great source of inspiration without having to look too far. But only in a few cases is one a prophet in his own land...

ACTANT: Finally, who are your favorite artists and labels right now?

PWCCA: I like listening to old artists like Wünsch, Mulero, Surgeon, Regis, Portion Reform (R&F), Mugon… but today we also have a wave of brutal producers like Kike Pravda, Lakej, Lewis Fautzi, Pyramidal Decode, KØLPØS, Ribé, Endplate, Oliver Rosemann, Stanislav Tolkachev, among many others. There are great Labels like Mord, Semántica, Pole Group or Warm Up, and others, offering great stuff, but I think that a large part of the scene is also supported by labels of less “prestigious” since there are many tracks edited in these, which are used by world-class DJs.

Crate Treatment Podcast #1 (Ostgut-Ton)

We welcome Colombian techno master Adriana Lopez to Warm Up with this brilliant EP, five tracks that expose her own approach to techno sound, apart from temporary tendencies, with a character that is scientific and abstract and therefore timeless by definition.

This EP is a well-crafted combination of roughness and distortion with introspection and calm. It escalates from the glitchy pulses of the title track of the EP to the beatless and self-defining Quietly, with three sound missiles in the middle.

Negative Publicity is the first of those, minimal in the number of components but maximal in the effect provided. She works with the structure through subtle, almost imperceptible changes, enough to make the six minutes feel like a breeze.

No Fear comes next, again using just the necessary pieces to form the ammunition required for the mission: the right dose of distortion, the relentless sequences, the rhythmic tension…

Going Further is the third danceable exercise: metallic and merciless, deeply rooted in the finest UK tradition, pure pressure and machine funk mashed together.

Preview: Adriana Lopez - A Series Of Propositions EP [WU106d]

Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.

He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV.

In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests.
