The Trip EP 
Artist: Michele Conte
Label: UBFR 
Cat: UBFR082

Release Date: 30th May 2025 

The Australian Italian DJ & Music producer Michele Conte from the Blue Mountains near Sydney has finally locked in his first release on his own label UBFR for 2025. 

The Trip is a 140BPM Dub Techno track that you won’t find in the typical raw techno genre section: this one is peak time & driving. Having said this it is by no means a formulaic techno track – as the name suggests, this one takes the listener on a trip. 

“I am going for something a bit different always. I like some repetition but for me their has to be a journey with unexpected twists & turns”

This self proclaimed adventure based techno certainly does travel some very unique sonic terrain with surprises all the way through. 

There is something about the sound of these Dub Techno series tracks Michele does that makes them difficult to liken to any other artist’s work. 

The Trip will be placed in the Peak Time Techno genre but it's definitely something more akin to the Dub Techno you would find in the Raw Hypnotic Techno section. 

Unlike a lot of Peak Time Techno this progresses & takes the listener (hopefully) on more of a trip! 
Inspired by a love of 140BPM Dub Techno & the Raw Techno space but wanting to still have that driving Peak Time feel. There is indeed a series of these types of tracks. They'd typically be in other techno genre sections but they these are found in the peak time section setting them apart form the regular in some ways. 

Expect huge analogue synths, thoughtful rhythms & shifts that take you on a journey.



The Trip by Michele Conte (Original)

The bicultural kid who grew up between Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the U.S., LA EQUIS carries a story shaped by migration and reinvention. Born to a Puerto Rican mother and Cuban father, his family left Cuba in search of new opportunities in Puerto Rico before settling in the States, shortly after the Cuban revolution. That cross-cultural upbringing deeply influenced his sound, vision, and the world-building behind his work.

LA EQUIS (formerly Xcelencia) is a singer, songwriter, and producer who blends reggaetón with alternative pop, hip hop, electronic elements, and Caribbean rhythms. Known for his use of samples and genre-bending style, he pushes Latin music forward while staying grounded in his roots.

Entirely independent, he has amassed over 55 million streams, voiced Papa John’s on a nationwide Spanish campaign, and earned high-profile syncs with Marvel, Disney, HBO Max, and the MLB The Show series. Beyond music, he spearheads a slate of Latin-culture ventures and is recognized as a pioneer in direct-to-fan releases.

His next statement arrives through “el niño maravilla,” an album experienced start-to-finish on his own interactive platform—where music unfolds as a fully immersive world for fans.
