We are happy to welcome UK-based artist KMBN (@feelthedrive) to the catalog. We have been appreciating his work over the years and are thrilled to have him on board. “Never Wanted to Dance” offers 4 original tracks reminiscent of the spirit and energy of the New Beat and Electro sound we all love.

The title track “Never Wanted to Dance” lures you in with slow darkwave synth arpeggiation, along with haunting vocals from Sean Goldring.
“IDrank” embarks on a countdown to synth module frenzy, perfect for peak-time debauchery.
Next up is “Some Scary Entity Thing,” which pays homage to a Belgium New Beat anthem. The seductive acid synth line will make you want to lose yourself in this future classic.
“Waiting for You,” an electro-hysteric track with dystopian vocals, closes out the release.

“Never Wanted To Dance” is out on July 14th, 2023.

KMBN - Never Wanted To Dance EP (SAM013) SNIPPETS

Calma Tensa is a project that was created among slow and dark rhythms that come from other times, with the illusion of learning to merge them with the electronic Underground of today.
It is not aimed at attracting large masses but at that small minority that connects in the same way with this kind of music.

Heart, dance, connection with other worlds ...

 ..you are what you listen to.

Rober Alonso.


Electónica Downtempo, Slow techno,  Dark Disco, Chug, EBM, Acid ...... and everything make me feel something..


Calma Tensa es un proyecto que nace entre ritmos lentos y oscuros que vienen de otros tiempos, con la ilusión de aprender a fusionarlos con el Underground electrónico de hoy.
No va dirigido a atraer a grandes masas sino a esa pequeña minoría que conecta de igual forma con este tipo de música.

Corazón, baile, conexión con otros mundos...

..Eres lo que escuchas.
