1111 - SOS ft. Aya Anne

Sophisticated minimalism was always a core feat of ALEX UNDER's portfolio, with the Spanish producer also serving as the founder and label manager for much-acclaimed techno label CMYK Musik. After releases on iconic imprints such as Trapez, Soma or Plus 8, the Madrilenian - one of the most sought-after electronic artists in Spain - now presents OLAS DE QUILA QUINA, his very first outing for Kompakt. Three slick, enticing cuts show him comitted to rolling basslines, rising synths and snappy percussion, all embedded in the futuristic sound design Alex has been honing over the course of his career. Unfolding to the backdrop of brooding metallic drones, the title track only needs a handful of carefully processed sounds to tell a highly evocative story - a focussed, geometrical jam that nonetheless allows for freewheeling outbursts of creativity. The same can be said for the punching, asymmetrical acid of EL REFLEJO DEL LACAR and the full-bodied bass bounce of LOLOG, as both cuts juxtapose sharp-edged shards of electronic texture with chewy, melodic synths. Tension-filled and catchy, it's a masterful update on ALEX UNDER's unique approach to techno, bold and subtle at the same time.

Eleganter Minimalismus war schon immer eine Kernkompetenz von ALEX UNDER, dem spanischen Produzenten der auch als Gründer und Labelmanager für das hochgeschätzte Technolabel CMYK Musik fungiert. Nach Releases für legendäre Marken wie Trapez, Soma oder Plus 8 präsentiert der Mann aus Madrid - einer der begehrtesten elektronischen Künstler Spaniens - OLAS DE QUILA QUINA, seine allererste Veröffentlichung auf Kompakt. Drei smarte, verlockende Tracks zeigen ihn inmitten rollender Bassläufe, erhabener Synthies und zackiger Percussion, alle im futuristischen Klanggewand eingebettet, welches Alex schon eine ganze Karriere lang verfeinert hat. Vor dem Hintergrund von düster-metallischem Rauschen entfaltet sich der Titeltrack mit nur einer Handvoll sorgsam prozessierter Sounds zu einer höchst atmosphärischen Erzählung - ein fokussierter, geometrisch klingender Jam, der dennoch Raum für freigeistige Kreativausbrüche bietet. Ähnliches ließe sich vom zupackenden, asymmetrischen Acid von EL REFLEJO DEL LACAR und dem vollmundigen Bass-Schwung von LOLOG behaupten, da beide Aufnahmen scharfkantige elektronische Texturen mit bissfesten, melodischen Synthesizern konterkarieren. Spannungsgeladen und mitreissend, illustriert dieses meisterhafte Release ALEX UNDERs einzigartige Herangehensweise an Techno, forsch und subtil zugleich.

After REBOLLEDO’s successful debut album SUPER VATO (CÓMEME CD LP 01) from two thousand eleven, his highly praised mix CD MOMENTO DRIVE (KOMPAKT CD 117) from two thousand fourteen, and all-around mayhem during his adventures as one half of the Pachanga Boys, Xalapa's finest returns with his second solo album MONDO ALTERADO: a recollection of moments and experiences from recent years, colorful mnemonics encompassing the brightest and the darkest. The result is a kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, a sonic journey designed like a mixtape that faithfully reflects Rebolledo's background as DJ and producer. Nine tracks connect for one overarching narrative, sharing elements, motives, details, as they blend together. The artist's signature can be found all over the place, roaming between straight, rock-drenched drumming, sinister atmospheres, raw synth textures, exciting peaks and foggy bottoms - but always following the kinetic flow and relentless drive which are such a big part of Rebolledo's compelling charme.

Idem Nevi is finally back on Oleeva. As soon as we heard 'Miss', with its patient drumless intro, thumping kicks and extra-terrestrial melodies we knew it would be the perfect final track for Kiku.  A farewell with a heavy yet hopeful heart.
