"The world changed by force. The end was here and we were not ready. In an improvised way, we were prepared for the neonormal, which in newspeak means status quo."

Vate returns with a much more synthetic and hard EP with electro and glitch sounds influenced by Byetone, Atom ™ and Mouse on Mars. “The End Was Here” is a reflection on the latest drastic changes in our world and the so-called "new normality"

"El mundo cambió por la fuerza. El final estuvo aquí y no estábamos listos. De manera improvisada, nos fuimos preparando para lo neonormal, que en neolengua quiere decir status quo."

Vate regresa con un EP mucho más sintético y duro con sonidos electro y glitch con influencias de Byetone, Atom ™ y Mouse on Mars. “The End Was Here” es una reflexión sobre los últimos cambios drásticos de nuestro mundo y la llamada "nueva normalidad"

In the same way that a virus mutates when it is reproduced repeatedly, Variantes' music mutates from one variant to another throughout its length. The sounds are made up from snippets stolen from many of Vate's previous tracks. Anyone who’s already familiar with the previous discography will be able to detect some of these sounds.

The cadence and rhythm of the album are slow, they represent how our conception of time changed for some long months during the beginning of this decade and how we pretended that everything was normal when, even three years later, normality and certainty had completely disappeared from our lives.

This album is based on the live set presented in Audiotalaia's Ruido Vírico show.

Exótica es un regreso momentáneo al género de la cumbia electrónica. Exótica y Excéntrica son dos temas hechos originalmente para el documental “Los exóticos“, de Michael Ramos Araizaga. En ellos se mezclan, como en los anteriores  Cachonda y Diablo,  el sonido de la cumbia con la electrónica. Porno Vector y Spexie complementan el EP con un sonido más tecno.

Volk, an album from Vate has now been remastered on its 15th anniversary.

It is a summary of the work done between 2001 and 2005.

Many movements within Mexican electronic music fused electronic music with popular music in those times. I received a great influence from them and the feedback with other musicians was very strong.

The constant in this work is the union of “modern” electronic music with traditional popular sound: music, mass culture or urban subjects. Volk was developed with these ingredients, plus the creation of the Chill ánd Go group and the participation in Urbe Probeta compilation.
