It was recorded by a room microphone so the quality is not high, the white noise you hear every once in a while is the smoke machine being activated :D

UNDO is a Barcelona based dj and producer who has released records on labels such as Correspondant, My Favorite Robot, Beachcoma, La Dame Noir, Areal Records and his own Factor City imprint. With almost 15 years in the game, the long term Razzmatazz (The Loft and Lolita) and Moog resident is considered one of the leading catalan tastemakers in dance music.

 A key player in the Spanish electronic music scene, UNDO has long been a pivotal figure for dance music in Barcelona, and beyond. Now based away from the city, on the beautiful Costa Brava, but still a regular presence at it’s many clubs and festivals, UNDO, otherwise known as Gabriel Berlanga, continues to impress with his fiercely individual take on club and electronic music.

Releasing primarily through his own Factory City imprint, UNDO’s latest LP, Disconnect, is a colourful, acid-tinged snapshot of an ever evolving mindset. Receiving plaudits and both radio and club play from tastemaker DJs such as Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flugel and Erol Alkan, the fifty-first release on Factory City is the dynamic result of years in the DJ booth and full-time experimentation in the studio.

UNDO’s music and approach is rooted in melody, and awash in a distinctly European sensibility. Together with Chicago, Detroit or modern-era Berlin, another influence on the musical evolution of UNDO remains the often underappreciated Valencia club scene of the eighties and early nineties. In Barcelona, as a young man, Berlanga enjoyed nights out in open-minded clubs that fused every incoming musical wave, be it raw EBM and electro, kraut, post punk or weirdo disco. As a more hardcore sound swept Spain, Berlanga stayed true to the energy established in his early musical experiences, slowly but surely mastering his craft.

A low-key approach based, one based around friends and community, remains at the heart of UNDO’s work with Factory City, his label that has been ‘on the dancefloor since 2003’. An enthusiastic reflection of Berlanga’s own tastes, the music of UNDO has been joined by artists such as Fairmont, Nhar and Club Bizarre. It’s unifying, offbeat sound skirts the influences of post-punk, vintage acid house and balearic, while never getting caught up in nostalgia. ‘Disconnect’ has already been expanded upon with suitably out-there remixes from underground artists such as Dimitri Viemar, Cabaret Nocturne and Inigo Vonteir, with more excursions to follow.

A long-time resident at Barcelona’s legendary Razzmatazz venue, and former creative director at it’s club-within-a-club, ‘The Loft and Lolita’, an UNDO DJ set joins similar dots, creating a unique energy rooted in decades of electronic culture. Thousands of international dancers have been illuminated by his numerous sets at the city’s flagship celebration of electronic music, Sonar. Whether in the studio or behind the decks in Barcelona, Berlin, London, Mexico City or anywhere else in the world, UNDO is an artist who sounds only like himself; deep, sincere and timeless.

Demian's affair with music began in the early eighties, when he started playing the saxophone at the conservatory. He grew up surrounded by jazz, new wave, rock and eighties' music, all of which still have a strong influence on him.

He started his carrer in the 90's in Spain spending more than 10 years playing 3 nights per weekend, most of the time for 10+ hour-marathon sets, bringing electronic music to the north of Spain at a time when there was only machina.

At one point, he felt he had learnt everything possible there and moved to Paris to focus on his own productions, with several releases on Clouded Vision. Jennifer Cardini and Nhar recruited him on their new label Correspondant, where he released two EPs: “As a Replicant'' and “Does Anybody Know''.

But Demian had always felt particularly close to Kompakt's philosophy. He had secretly been dreaming of Kompakt for the last 20 years but in 2016 he felt ready and finally decided to jump ahead. His “Milestars EP" is the concretisation of the entire path he did since his first encounter with the dancefloor, but also the beginning of his new vision.

DAMON JEE:

Blurred lines… blurring the lines… easy, lazy stereotypes which easy, lazy pen pushers too
frequently resort to when they run out of words. Still, once in a while, stereotypes speak truth
to an artist’s satement. Since French dj/producer Damon Jee started his career in the early
1990’s, there’s never been a straight and rectilinear path to follow. An ungraspable and
deviant kind of open-mindedness underlines the contours of a trajectory stretching wide
across the spectrum of contemporary electronic music ; fact is evidence : his records have
been released on labels as diverse and versatile as Tora Tora, Definitive Recordings, Clouded
Vision, Startalk International, Days of Being Wild, Pour La Vie, Nein, Playpal… And,
symetrically, his dj acts and productions have never been clear-cut… never too dark… never
too bright… slurred, twisted and convoluted… subtly balancing his ubiquitous taste for indie
rock and synthetic music… bridging body and cerebral responses into an electronic
psychedelia… opening up a seamy and shady in-between…
Over the last 10 years, Damon Jee has become a key and recurrent actor of the electronic
scene. He has played in many clubs and festivals, in many cities and in many countries. He
started up collaborations with the likes of John Acquaviva and Olivier Giacomotto and his
own productions have been playlisted by Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Ivan
Smagghe, Morgan Hammer, Chloé, Daniel Avery, Erol Alkan, Ewan Pearson, Optimo,
Jennifer Cardini, David Shaw, Matt Walsh, Remain Oxia and many others…
Never pretend ! Damon Jee’s never faked or failed ! Print that in bold… please…

ALVARO CABANA:

My name is Álvaro, I run my own label based in Madrid, Rotten City Records. I have been DJing since late 90's. I have been resident at crazy clubs such as Coppelia, Mondo Disko or Sport.
I love many musical genres but not generic music.
I can play a lot of kind of moods, I could defined my favorites vibes as the range that goes from 'Slow Motion Leftfield Techno' to 'Psych New Wave Disco'.
Sometime I produce my music alone and sometimes I am:

1/3 of D.Y.O.R
1/2 Holographic Planes
1/3 Silent Echoes
1/2 Los López

Hope you enjoy my vision of music.

Inspired by the musical curiosity of her guitarist father, who never ceased rocking her with Jimmy Hendrix, this French woman perfected her musical culture by practicing guitar and the piano for years.
It is at the turn of a live of Miss Kittin and The Hacker that she discovers electronic music in at the beginning of the millenium: it is love at first sight.
For 10 years, she skims the dancefloors of many European clubs and festivals and it is finally in 2015 that she goes behind the decks for the first time. 
After being interested in several styles, this young Lyonnaise eventually turns to electronica, indie dance and deep techno sounds.
In 2019, she founded Critical Monday @criticalmondayrecords with Damon Jee: an independent electronic music label somewhere between rock and techno, definitely club orientated.
