Comment
: a Barcelona, Catalonia-based producer provides a pair of captivating outlets which function as an array of cut-ups of diverse stylistical ingredients. A Day of Happiness shows up static kind of looming taking on restraint techno, beatific synth seeds and slight electro vibes above and around it. The second one, Lift Your Eyes used to chime like the early Cabaret Voltaire would have produced more electro-spinning grooves instead of a provoking, nihilistic industrial-charged punch. Indeed, besides the likeness with industrial groups the whole resembles more of the 80`s than the logic of nowadays musical directions and aspirations - all those dance-appealed post-punk groups and New Wave/synth pop combos from the Foggy Albion in ending part of 70`s and at the beginning of 80`s come in mind. So you can say it is a little bit more than just one endeavor amongst the others. Mandatory for all the melomans all around the world!
