Name: Upercent - Retronar by Upercent
Duration: 6 min 39 s
Description: Upercent is without doubt one of the most prolific Sincopat artists nowadays. He is back home with three unpredictable electronic pieces where nothing is what it seems to be but everything is holding together.

You are on fire - the best artist discovery for me this year so far (thanks to Veridium - @jerri-mperdempes - who send me a link)

I really like your sound. Unlike anything I have ever heard. Thanks for sharing!

''TELL ME WHAT WE ARE' are pure summer vibes created by Nicone and Aracil. Enchanting is the perfect description for these smooth discoesque beats, gentle guitar and Allen Hulsey's voice. Not only that the track comes as original mix and short edit, does Dirty Doering present a remix, for which he put the edge to 'TELL ME WHAT WE ARE'. We can't wait for the summer anymore!'

TELL ME WHAT WE ARE feat. Allen Husley

https://interpret-music.com Following on from their trailblazing debut, the second offering INT02 from Interpret finds Upercent presenting a five-track showcase. Based in València, the Spanish artist has continued to delight forward-thinking music connoisseurs with his daring brand of electronic futurism. An enthusiastic attitude towards experimentation, coupled with extraordinary creative vision has made Upercent one of the more unique artists to emerge in recent years. Continuing to explore and expand his sonic palate, the Valencia resident now returns with the much anticipated ‘Sentit Opost’.

Highly stylized across its five selections, it is the eclectic experimentation of ‘Agrair’ which sets the tone for the release. Backed by a buoyant cadence, a storyboard of stammered vocal edits and fluttery sax riffs delight against a backdrop of exotic drums and percussive fragments. Building with a subdued majesty, its smoky resonance makes you think but also feel, conjuring up otherworldly visions, perhaps from a time we’ve yet to experience. For Upercent, it’s a piece that holds special significance, not only for its arcane nature but for the time in which it was crafted.

Moving forward, Upercent’s avant-garde style raises the bar with the florid sounds of ‘Les Granotes’. Concise and stirring at under six minutes in length, its cerebral nature is enthralling, bound by themes that are both organic and electric. Although a pang of melancholia seeps out of each icy tone, there is a note of jubilance in Upercent’s discombobulated beats and militant design qualities. It’s this limitless exhalation that takes the Valencia resident back to his childhood, reflecting on a time where the roots of this creation ultimately lie.

Spectacular sonic acrobats unite on the project’s third selection ‘Atrapa’, an expression translated from its Valencian origins to ‘addicted to something you like’. Upercent’s rhythmic expression has always been one of his most identifiable and inimitable traits. Here he explores that narrative further with clever coactions between layers of machine-gun-like cadence, morphing vocals and lively percussive splashes. Its adventurous spirit is something Upercent relishes in, as he continues to survey his creative process.

Splitting moods between the exotic and dystopian is ‘Romancer’. A frenetic sci-fi delight, complete with the perfect balance of rhythmic crunch and diabolic distortion. Succinct in delivery and monolithic in design, it etches towards a darker monochrome, perfectly setting the stage for the collection’s closer and most experimental cut ‘Arquitecte’. A unique and entrancing sonic ecosystem accentuated by whimsical vocal fragments and ghostly electronics. A piece where Upercent stretches his creative scope further while remaining fluid within the confines of the release.

Often celebrated for his ability to blend, blur and cross-pollinate genres, Upercent has ventured further with the ‘Sentit Opost’ collection, into a time of true innovation, traversing a multitude of realms and dimensions, while excelling throughout.

Sentit Opost

INT02 | Upercent - Agrair

Berlin native Nico Stojan returns to Crosstown Rebels, this time teaming up with Italian native Tooker. The two track EP entitled Frisbee is true to the label, taking the listener on a melodic journey perfectly set for the magical desert of Burning Man or the jungles of Tulum.

Frisbee pays homage to the duos' everyday life and connection that they have together. “Frisbee was created after spending a beautiful afternoon playing frisbee in the park in Berlin. Nico and I were born on the same day in December and Luna was born during the night of the Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius.”

Nico & Tooker create this scene perfectly as the title track opens proceedings, captivating the listener from the off set with delicate 4 x 4 beat before waves of harmonious elements and melodic synths pick you up and take you on a journey, like a frisbee gliding through the air on a warm summer's day. Luna further emphasises the inspiration behind the production. The listener is taken on a metaphorical voyage through the cosmos, with futuristic, space-like melodies and finely placed percussions that twinkle in and out of the track giving a perfect accompaniment to the deeper, darker bass heavy beats at the core of the piece.

This may be their first release together but Frisbee signifies a deep connection between the two that could fool anyone into thinking they have been producing as a duo for some time. Nico is no stranger to Crosstown Rebels having had previous standout releases on the label such as Killing Your Lover and Belladonna. As the co - founder of Quie Records, together with Acid Pauli, the Berlin native has planned to produce more showcases and present his vision of modern dance music across the globe. This vision is embodied beautifully within this EP. Having recently embarked on a solo career, Italian Christopher Tooker is probably best known as one half of KMLN which has seen him playing exciting parties across the globe including; Wonderfruit, Meadows in the Mountains and Burning Man to name a few.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

trndmsk: What inspired you to produce the EP?

Fulltone: I got inspired to produce “C’est bon” during my last visit to Paris, "C’est bon" was one of the sentences I kept hearing while walking through the beautiful streets of Paris, surrounded by the beautiful architecture and history. When I got back to the studio I had an idea of making a track that would capture the vibes I was getting during my trip. 

The idea of “Mahe’” came to me during my trip to Seychelles and got inspired by the mesmerizing out of this world nature, Mahe’ is the name of the Capital of Seychelles and I wanted to make a music piece that breathes and reflects the beauty I was in during my trip. 

Where did you record it? And how?

The whole EP was recorded at my studio in Cairo using all my beloved gear! 

With "Mahe" I used a Charango (South American stringed instrument), a kalimba and a classical guitar for the main melodies, all recorded using an AKG C414 Mic and SSL preamp going to a universal audio Apollo interface. For the beats I used my Elektron analog rytm and some field recording I did with my iPhone. For the bass I went for my go to synth for bass the Moog sub37 and also used bass guitar for the baseline during the first part of the song. I remember also using a Gibson J45 acoustic guitar to play the main riff.

“C’est bon” I started with the groove and struggled for a while to find a nice hook for it, then one day my step sister was at the studio and she has a beautiful voice, I had an idea of recording some vocal pads playing the chords of the track, so we recorded each note of each chord of the whole chord progression and I still felt something was missing, so I tried a trick I had read about a while ago, I side-chained a gate on the vocal pads triggered by a programmed hihat pattern and instantly got that stuttering effect you hear on the vocals on the drop, the rest was all fine crafting to finalize the track.

How did you get in contact with the record label?

Klassified label owners (Julien and Thomas AKA Parallells) are very close friends of mine that I consider family. When we decided to release a Fulltone EP on their label I sent them some tracks but highlighted that C’est bon and Mahe were my favorites, they agreed and here we are now :)) EP is about to go out with fantastic remixes from Audiofly & Jonas Saalbach 

What’s up next after the release? Are you working on any other projects? 

I have a few releases in the pipe line, I have an EP coming out early next year on Keller Berlin with an amazing remix from Powel, a podcast for All Day I Dream, a remix for my dear friends ElMundo & PHCK coming out on Earthly Delights and finally a collab track with “a surprise” coming out on “another surprise”.
