Juguemos a los #tags. Si juntamos #beats #eclectico #Madrid, hay una evidencia asomándose, saca la cabeza cual gatico en edredón arrugado un tal Miguel, un talento de señor que se hace llamar Strand desde mucho antes de lo que crees. Y es que, cualquiera con un poco de curiosidad por la electrónica cañí conocerá los vericuetos musicales de este doctor con consulta en Bruselas.

Doctor poliédrico, su música ha sido pareada con otras artes como la del legendario Barry Gifford o Oli-B en partenaire con otro buen equipo centroeuropeo como es LDBK. Esto por no querer ceñirnos a la música: Takeshi Nishimoto, Non Genetic, Funckarma o Hudson Mohawke son algunos de sus compañeros en expresiones distribuidas por Foehn, Project Mooncircle, Lovemonk, Disboot o Galleta, entre otros.

Ahora a hecho de su casa Lowriders para seguir experimentando desde una madurez no necesitada de escaparatismo hype. Un disco que te invitamos a degustar con tranquilidad, que a eso y a regalarte su The Saving Soul Mixcrate vinimos.

Porque en Maleza encontrarás retorcidos experimentos synth&click, cuerdas y juke o raperos de la costa oeste con seis dedos. Buena dósis. Pero en The Saving… arma un ejercicio de recuerdos fuera de su cómodo estar electrónico, temas que muestran gustos tan variopintos como los auriculares de músico de oído obsceno, al que todo gusta y agradece. Todo como suelen ser estas series tan cuquis, es de rigor añadir, en las que también colaboró otro grande que ya tiene las llaves de casa, Glue Kids, con el que hizo este curso avanzado de molar en los 2000’s.

Además, tags que nos hacen bastante justicia. Otro honor.

Let’s play #tags. If we join #beats #eclectic # Madrid there’s a proof appearing. Like a kitten sticking his head out of a wrinkly blanket, just another Miguel, talented sir who used to be called Strand since time was time. Because anyone with a little bit of curiosity for spanish electronica will know the musical shortcuts from this Brussels based doctor.

Polyhedronic doctor, his music was paired with other kinds of arts such as the legendary Barry Gifford or Oli-B in partenarie with another european good team like LDBK. Just not to stick to music: are some of his record partners in expressions distributed by Foehn, Project Mooncircle, Lovemonk, Disboot or Galleta, among others.

Now he makes Lowriders his home to keep on experimenting a maturity away from window dressing hypes. An album we invite you to taste chilling. This and his The Saving Soul Mixcrate is what we came for.

Because in Maleza you will find twisted experiments, from synth&click, strings and juke, to six fingers west coast rapers. A good shot. But in his The Saving… he build a memories exercise out of his comfortable electronic being, tracks that show such a wide taste as the obscene musician headphones, which everything is liked. Everything as that series used to be, so cute, must be added, and gots another lovely artist collab, Glue Kids, which Strand made this bright comet in 2000′s.

Are you turning sick with that? Arrange your brain just a bit visiting his Discogs.

That tags serve us justice too. Another honour.

This Mixcrate is quiet different, it is from another period of time let’s say. And there is no specific period of time for this our series of mixtapes. We just want them to be an honest look back and to avoid weird tricks to mix each track… So I wanted to say, what is old music? Which is music from the past? This volume 6 from Cristiano brings us songs from the 90′s and early 00′s, and yes: we are getting old, I mean that period is definitely the past. Actually, what I wanted to say is that there is no past at all, because there is hardly new either. Does it even make sense? Now, just try to find some time to do this thing you love while listening to our new Saving Soul Mixcrate vol.6.

In fact, for us, the essence of a mixtape is about showing feelings and states of mind trough the magic of each song. As you can see, we have so clear what The Saving Soul Mixcrate are NOT, but not what they are at all, they are something up to the author, but something honest, that’s for sure. Now, we proudly present what Soak did with it, turn it up:
