On Friday, January 30th, Kontralamakina welcomes live to our next release party for his new EP/LP, “Groof - Simulation (incl. Oscar Mulero remix),” at Barcelona.
Roberto Gemelin (Groof) has been an electronic music producer for over 30 years and is a pioneer of the legendary Madrid scene. His preferred style is Techno, but his restless mind has led him to explore genres such as IDM, Industrial, Experimental, Ambient, and even Italo Disco and Synth Pop, using various pseudonyms depending on the project. He has collaborated with key figures in the Techno scene.
He has released music on labels such as Warm Up, Nheoma, Trauma Collective, SUB_tl, Selected Records, R3volution, etc. Over the last two years, he has been releasing music compulsively, after a fairly long period without releasing any material. He has also created a Bandcamp to give free rein to his more personal musical projects away from the dance floor.
Now he is responsible for KNTRLMKN08, joining our catalog and bringing “Simulation” to life. This EP/LP consists of a collection of five original tracks that explore repetition and dynamism, with structures generated by various noise sources and algorithmic sequencing, resulting in a raw and forceful sound, plus one Oscar Mulero remix.
As a DJ, he has held residencies at parties for the Analogical Force label and at Club Stardust (Red Room). As a producer, he has performed live at venues such as Sonar, Moog, Soma Club, Stardust, Florida 135, and La Real, among many others.
