Live Mix: C156

mrgasparov — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:13:03 +0000

This week we have a very special mix for you! It's a live mix (as in computers, machines and violins) recorded by C156, a collective based in Barcelona which has been destroying dance floors in the last few months. They are unusual in the sense that their live is performed by four people simultaneously, playing synths, beat boxes, violin, percussion or voices. The result is a uniquely hybrid sound, with blends of Dubstep, Techno or Breaks, which is both intended for the dance floor as well as the brain!

So who are they? Non-other then Cauto (check his past interview & mix for mrgasparov.com), Dr. Res, The Gardener (AKA Amph) and Drome. If you live in Barcelona, or even if you don't, it's very likely that you heard their names, since all of them have been active in different underground fronts for many years. They now belong to the Disboot label/collective, a group of incredibly talented people who have been releasing some serious music lately.

Last year they released their first EP, which you can listen/buy here, and in February Disboot will be releasing the second C156 EP - 12" and digital -, which includes the tracks '1,2,3,Oink', 'Can a Leprous be Trendy?' and 'Latin Mayhem', all of which you can listen too in the mix below. I think in all of my last gigs I've played at least one of these tracks, so I'd definitely say that it's very worth buying!

This time there's no interview because there's too many of them, but you can check Cauto's interview since it focuses a lot on the C156 project. Moltes gràcies nois!

Mix & Interview: Cauto

mrgasparov — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:24:17 +0000

This week we present Cauto, the top Catalan producer in my opinion. He currently lives in Barcelona but was born in Banyoles (north of Catalunya) in the midst of a family of musicians and you can certainly tell that from the quality of his arrangements and his amazing production skills. So far he has released tunes on DJ / Rupture's Dutty Artz, Discontinu, Dubkraft and most importantly Disboot, a seriously good local label which he runs together with Uxuca, Dr. Res and Man In The Attic. Be sure to check this label and some of their newest releases, such as the excellent remix that Cauto did of Filastine's 'Hungry Ghosts'.

As if this wasn't enough he still has time to work on his C156 project (together with The Gardener, Dr. Res and Drome), excellent collaborations with people like Das Nevez and sick parties with the Disboot gang. Introduction done, now listen to his exclusive mix and read what he has to say! Gràcies Pau!

Cauto

Interview

When did you start making beats, what were your influences then?

I started when I was 16 years old with an XP80 keyboard and my dad's G4. My dad was constantly telling me off because of the bass, hehe. My main influences then were 90s Techno and Hip-Hop.

When did you first listen to dubstep and what was your reaction?

It was in 2006 when my friend (The Gardener) made me listen to a DJ set by Atomly @ The Cell (Berlin). I was flipping out with the bass and especially with Toasty's tune "Angel". After that I spent a few weeks listening to this mix again and again

Give your definition of Dubstep. Where do you see it going in the near future?

I think dubstep is a mix between a lot of different style, and therefore I think it will keep evolving and branching out.

How is the scene in Barcelona?

Getting better and better! There's a load of good artists, a growing number of people going to the nights and, most importantly, many more events where you can go and listen to these artists.

Next releases and future plans for Cauto and Disboot?

We've just got out our first vinyl releases out on Disboot, a 7" with Filastine's "Hungry Ghost" on one side and my remix on the opposite side, and another one featuring Offshore with two tunes: "Black destroyer hill" and "Simsalabim". Future plans? Work a lot on C156's live and new tunes and soon we will be releasing a 12" on Disboot. As Cauto: there are a couple of remixes about to be released, namely Belcro's "Frontera" and Brunetto's "License to Beat"; I will collaborate more with other artists - like I'm doing now with Das Nevez - and I'm gonna prepare an EP for 2010. As far as Disboot goes, it won't stop! There's many excellent releases on the way so keep an eye open!
