Tomás Urquieta - 22 Mars 2022

Over the past decade, Santiago-born, Mexico-based producer @tomasurquieta has harnessed his own brand of noise. His sounds are heavily textured, often distorted, and range from hammering techno bangers to intense flurries of drums and caustic synths. It is protest music that gave rise to his excellent 2018 long player Duenos de Nada and has continued to challenge the system ever since with a mix of futuristic and political, anarchic and metallic 12"s. 

This week's podcast was recorded on a cold night in Brooklyn and the idea behind it was simple but effective, says Tomás. "I put together some new and old tracks I’ve played in my recent gigs." As such it is a fine snapshot of what to expect from him in the club right now - bold rhythms, dystopian moods and plenty of industrial, ambient and IDM influences. It's a physical selection that is constantly on the move and densely packed.

Mix 006. This one is really special to me as it represents a sound I’ve been searching for as a DJ/producer/listener for a while. Too often in techno these days, the term “dark” gets mixed up with the word “hard.” In my eyes, they mean something very different. This mix represents my vision for the dark, driving techno I love to play and listen to. “Dark” techno, for me, accesses the full range of human emotion. Austerity and mechanized coldness mixed with fleeting moments of yearning and beauty. Not just grooves, but tracks with great melodies that suggest more beneath the surface. Put another way—dark, driving techno done right is layered and subtle, something that rewards you the more you listen. 

I’ve included a broad mix of tracks I’ve been feeling from across the decades. Thanks for listening. Link to the full mix in my bio.

Tomás Urquieta, born in Chile and based in New York City, creates a unique fusion of bass music and techno. His sonic style is consistently powerful and structurally unconventional, yet immensely danceable. ‘Ai Ferri Corti’, his third album, is packed with high-energy club tracks that showcase his innovative take on techno, seamlessly incorporating Latin American rhythmic influences. The record, set for release on Herrensauna on March 7, 2025, unfolds a narrative on the fragility of logic, the unveiling of hidden truths, and the collapse of established structures. Throughout ‘Ai Ferri Corti’, Urquieta explores chaos and the mind, with the tension between order and disorder, between reason and abstraction, forming the central axis. Each of the track titles, infused with philosophical undertones and technological references, reinforces this conceptual complexity and evokes reflections on the nature of being, perception, chaos, and logic—shaping a seven-track experience that challenges conventional thinking.
