Hioll has become one of the main influences within the rising cuban Electronic Music scene. Born and raised in La Habana (Havana) and carrying from the beginning, with humility, the flag of Cuban Techno. Established Abstraction (@abstractionrecordlabel) in 2017, the first electronic music label ever in Cuba's history and which is dedicated to showing the most outstanding talents from the island. But that has subsequently evolved to welcome new international artists and, as such, become a widely supported source of dance-floor cuts. As a producer, Hioll's tracks exist in a powerful climax, which looks simultaneously from the most daring and strange hypnotic Techno to the most bizarre and industrial. He has many successful releases in respected and well known labels, being played and supported by big industry names. This suggests a versatile artist with a strong personality, capable of generating rich and truly unique ideas and, eventually, translating them into a varied context of unprecedented sound experiences. -- 090: Hioll from Havana, Cuba https://soundcloud.com/hioll https://www.instagram.com/hioll_official https://www.facebook.com/hiolltechno

This is a very personal release, loaded with intense emotions and omens. Heavy and smooth at the same time, rhythmic and melodic alike. There are four tracks but they are also one, if you listen carefully. "Eternal Sunshine" opens the list with percussions that play together and synth notes with vocal samples that trace the course of the story. "I've Never Felt That Before" denotes a great influence from Breakbeat and stands out for its melancholic synth line and ancestral pads that seem to cry. "Cause You Asked For It" is a more visceral and physical track that uses the classic rhythmic pattern of Techno oriented for clubs and other venues. "Canción De Despedida" is a more introspective and experimental cut that transports us to other planes and invites to delve into the most remote corners of our minds. Each track tells a story, a moment, those feelings that we cannot avoid so easily. It is a parenthesis to immortalize a memory and at the same time the closing of a period very well lived. Remember, I am telling stories To my beloved Tangerine... -- Artist: Åre:gone Title:

In his formative years, the artist responsible for 30drop discovered new synthetic and electronic sounds that would later influence his work. From the year 1996, his activity as a DJ powered his link with music, focused on Detroit Techno and Techno sounds that held the transgressive references of Birmingham, UK. These impressions saw 30drop magnetise toward an industrial, experimental, noise-based sound, particularly in the mid-2000s. After a creative pause, 2014 brought his new project, ‘30drop', at this time his label 30D Records of which he is the Manager and joint A&R with Angel Molina, was also born. -- 086: 30drop https://soundcloud.com/30drecords https://www.instagram.com/30drop_official http://www.30drop.com
