Reeko (Mental Disorder/ Polegroup )
The biggest challenge a musician or producer of any musical type or style has to face, whether they like it or not, is to see whether their work can create a path that other artists will follow or lay the foundation for the work of other artists. Juan Rico, the Asturian known within the scene as REEKO, is well aware of this.
Born in Oviedo (Asturias) in 1981, Reeko is a dj who has rapidly attained the recognition other artists have taken a long time to gain. In his case it’s not been a matter of chance or coincidence, but the result of his innateand incredible capacity to be prolific, alongside his obsession for perfection. He marks is his birth as a dj about 1997, but it wasn’t until his first release in 2002 under the Swedish label Emergence that he became known professionally.
There is no need to name all the aliases that Juan Rico has used to release the diverse artistic sensations which flow from him, but these are characteristic which define his personality and are a part of REEKO himself. Producing and performing under different names allows him to concentrate fully on each individual event by devoting himself completely to an idea or style to which he is totally faithful, putting aside for a moment sounds andinfluences that don’t belong in the particular character which he is mutating into at the time.
The result is a knock out. Under the name of REEKO he has released huge techno productions which have charted and been played by the best djs in the world, right from the first tracks and EPs for labels as reputable as Theory, Integrale Muzique, Music Man, Inceptive, Symbolism, Planet Rhythm, Warm up or Palicavonzvreca.
Reeko created Mental Disorder, his “pathological” label/laboratory, in 2003 under which he has released works of ever increasing quality as "the day after" or the album "finding the new matter" or the trilogy "ella" .
Next came the label Evidence in 2005, where he opens up to his passion for the darkest and sickest part of the human mind. He looks deep within the human psyche where most of us would never go or dare explore. That is where the laconic, aggressive and totally sweeping sound that characterises him stems from. Reputable artists who have published with Evidence are Function, Paul Bailey and Trolley Route, to name a few.
He has received great praise for his collaborations with the Humano project on the Belgian label MusicMan, home of the purest of European techno. During this last decade, his most outstanding performances have been in Berghain, Awakenings, Monegros 2005, Aquasella, Tresor, his Brazil tour of 2008 and more..
The story so far reaches a climax when Reeko joins the cream of techno: the Pole Group, formed in 2008. , joined by Oscar Mulero, the Asturianduo Exium and the surprising and experienced Christian Wünsch. The most recent addition to this team is Architectural, someone who will give us lots and lots to talk about.
Reeko finds himself among the elite of Hispanic techno.
Kwartz (Nheoma/ PoleGroup)
Kwartz is a DJ and producer from Madrid who started his career in the world of techno in 2011, when he started creating his first characteristic productions: hypnotic, dark and enveloping.
That same year he published his first EP with Main Concept and, since then, a multitude of his works have been released by labels such as Shapeless Records, Sonntag Morgen or ATT Series, amongst others. These have been favourably received by the public and have enjoyed worldwide support by some of the top techno artists.
In 2013 Kwartz will bring us his first vinyl EP: a joint release with Exium published by Nheoma Records.
The summer of 2013 sees him joining PoleGroup in order to take part in the label, the booking agency and the showcases.
Conrad Van Orton (CRS)
The anger, the will to evade (literally), the growing sense of heaviness raised just from the chance to make music every time he wants and all the obstacles he finds on the way to freedom will become his life thread and "main topic" of his sound. Soon his touch becomes darker, industrial and with a definite negative mood. The absence from live clubbing allows him to start an introspection and self oriented path regarding the music he picks for the dj-sets he records in his room, that will be his personal prison until November 2012.
Korova (Shades/ Raw Waxes)
Korova is a young electronic duo based in Rome and made by Luca Filardo and Alessandro Fusaroli . The project starts in the 2008 and gets its name from the famous bar in Kubrick's Clockwork Orange : an odd babylon with a proper cult for the psychedely . These are both influence and spirit design their mental , throbbing , psychedelic and deeply dark sound . Their musical evolution wisely filters dark and industrial techno influences coming along all northern Europe and arrives to a massive production releasing on Raw waxes and Shades Records. Korova perform their own livesets by laptops and they really take care about the dancefloor . That's why they've been resident since 2010 of GLUCOSE , the famous techno event based in Rome with the most undergroud and rebel heirlooms.
