Jonathan Castro - Mediterranean

Eclectic electronic/acoustic producer, composer, guitarist and multimedia artist.

You can watch an audiovisual of my work here www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UCbl-BrCxE&ab_channel=CelseyMcFadden

I have released with BMG, Zest, Deep East, Diatribe, Jump, Traum Shallplatten, Covery, Mostar records and Sony/ATV, EMI among others.

I was also producer and guitarist of organic electronica group 'TeaTronik'. There are some tracks from our new album here too. Our debut single released by Mostar Records has got some great reviews and we released our debut album with Diatribe Records in May 2013.
Here are some tracks from our album.

"Classical at its core, the music can be described as mad, instrumental, elegant, nonchalant, cinematic, fearless, foolish, and somehow very heroic - we love it. If parallel universes exist, this is how classical music sounds in the neighboring universe to ours"

Secret Eclectic

"Celsey manages to reinvigorate this timeless piece. Imagine the warm sound of analog electronics you could hear in a Vangelis’ song, sprinkled with some psychedelia drops wrapped in a melancholic package. A modern rework that is not afraid to experiment but at the same time respects and acknowledges the original work"

Music Dances While You Sleep

"Newly formed Dublin-based duo Celsey and Monica Harkin are already producing intriguing electronic sounds with nods and winks to Amiina, Fever Ray, and Portishead. Hear and download latest tracks on their Soundcloud page."

Jim Carroll, The Irish Times

"I love the rich texture of their sound involving field recordings, balanced beautifully by the sweet vocal."

The Confused Eclectic

"Wilder" connects Monica's sweet voice with all the elements above and it is truly almost impossible to put a genre on this one, but it really doesn't matter since it's an outstanding piece of electronic music."

Adalberto, Origamitracks.blogspot.com

“An excellent example of chilled out electronic that could easily rival the big names in the field. TeaTronik’s new release ‘Home’ is successful at developing a slow, easy-going pace that is neither boring or repetitive. Definitely looking forward to hearing future releases from this band; they’ll go far”. 4/5

"Mixing electronic sounds with acoustic instruments playing, Fahmi has combined his different skills to create electro-acoustic compositions that in some cases also wear resemblance to the style of what we used to call post-rock. Composition and playing with the sounds or of instruments are merged close together here, resulting in an atmosphere of ethereal and austere."
- Post Global Recordings

"I got hooked on Fahmi’s music before, and … honestly, far from playing favorites, I find I keep accidentally running over it through aliases and different links and enjoying it over and over again. (While I was just in Indonesia for Nusasonic, it wasn’t the trip that made me discover the music – it was the work of musicians like Fahmi that were the reason we all found ourselves on the other side of the world in the first place, to be more accurate. They discovered new sounds, and us.)"
- Peter Kirn / CDM

"Although the excellent Tandem Tapes label is based in Jakarta, they’re run by an ex-pat Aussie and have a decidedly international outlook. Nevertheless they do showcase plenty of great experimental Indonesian artists, and we finish tonight with Bandung-based “sound sculptor” Fahmi Mursyid, who uses granular synthesis to transform found sounds, guitar and traditional Indonesian instruments into surging drone and glitch works. I love the snatches of choral harmonies floating in and out of this particular track."
- Peter Hollo / FBi Radio

"With an ever-increasing array of powerful, portable and affordable electronic instruments available, the temptation for producers is to go maximal with their sound. But as these videos—courtesy of Indonesian musician Fahmi Mursyid—prove, a seriously affective and versatile sound can be crafted from the most limited of means."
- Telekom Electronic Beats 

"Jakarta Indonesia based Tandem Tapes is quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. It seems like half of their artists are pulled from the pool of experimental music that the Tome swims in and half are undiscovered gems from around the world the Indonesian based Fahmi Mursyid. I find myself lucky to have discovered something like Fahmi's soundclash of the sacred and profane. Gorgeous vocal drones beneath playful, exploratory electronics that ward off any tendency for the heavy hand."
