Alex Under & Tadeo (Live)

Alex Under
------------------------------------------------------------
The deepest meaning of 'collage', defined by Max Ernst, is the general application of Arthur Rimabaud's 'delirium': "I accustomed myself to simple hallucination; I saw quite deliberately a mosque instead of a factory, a drummer's school conducted by angels, carriages on the highways of the sky, a salon at the bottom of a lake: monsters, mysteries, a vaudeville poster raising horrors before my eyes". We could describe collage as an alchemic compound of two or more heterogeneous elements, derivate by their unexpected approximation generated deliberately by the search of systematic confusion and distorted perception.

That's Alex Unders' musical universe. Based in Madrid, this producer is the 'CMYK' label manager. He is also one of the men behind 'Apnea' and 'Bemysheep', and one of the founders of Net28 (the net behind these labels and others like 'Cyclical Tracks' and 'Pulpa').


Tadeo
------------------------------------------------------------
Tadeo is influenced by various branches of electronic music, especially by Detroit techno and Christian Vogel, Neil Landstrum, Plastikman or Jeff Mills productions. In a first stage, he created together with Dj Slick the collective 'Domestic Techno', carrying out parties in several basements of the city.

Throughout time Tadeo tested almost every single style inside electronic and dance music. After a large period of techno investigation and development, Tadeo runs his actual art collective 'Javha' oriented to all kinds of art expressions, and 'Cyclical Tracks', a conceptual techno label. In this second stage, he purifies his technique and studies with care. The connection with the audience is the principal resource of his sets.

Little by little, minimal and electronic sounds start to become a natural rule both in his sets and productions. He also has predilection for dub and sounds which emanate from Jamaican music.
