NB Podcast 008 | Kastil 


Kastil (Mario Castillo), operando desde Vitoria-Gasteiz y con más de una década de experiencia tras los platos, ha estado reinventando su sonido como productor desde que surgió a escena con su primer lanzamiento en vinilo en 2011 en su propio sello Soul Notes. A través del mismo, ha sido muy consistente con una amplia corriente de sonidos, tanto suyos como de otros artistas internacionales, y reflejando en él la diversidad sonora de sus sesiones como dj, que albergan desde las raíces del house y el acid, al techno y la experimental más contundente o abstracta. Desde hace un par de años, sus trabajos como productor se han basado predominantemente en los instrumentos electrónicos, y la evolución personal y el aprendizaje con sintetizadores modulares, llevándole a un terreno mucho más experimental y de texturas analógicas, que se refleja en sus actuales producciones, más orientadas al techno, el IDM o el ambient. Su actual dominio con los modulares y las maquinas de estudio, ya reconocido por varios incondicionales de la música electrónica, así como su reciente inquietud por las grabaciones de campo, la electroacústica y la construcción de instrumentos físicos, y virtuales en plataformas como Max For Live, le ha llevado en este año 2015 a inaugurar su nuevo directo, formado por varios sintetizadores modulares y cajas de ritmos, en el que la improvisación es la clave predominante y la exclusividad de cada actuación, su obsequio personal para los oyentes. Con el lanzamiento en 2015 de la nueva serie en vinilo de Soul Notes denominada “Stale”, enfoca una nueva etapa en la que tendrán cabida sonidos más vinculados a sus inicios como dj, cimentados en el techno de tintes oscuros y abstractos, pero con un aire renovado que aportan su visión más ecléctica y personal hasta la fecha, fruto de la investigación en su laboratorio sónico de Gasteiz. Mediante sus trabajos actuales en el sello de Ben Sims “Symbolism” junto a J.C., un nuevo EP para el sello británico MIL, y varios discos para su nuevo sello “Stale” con la participación de grandes nombres internacionales, se adentra en un nuevo año cargado de grandes proyectos y nuevos horizontes.

NB Podcast 005 | HD Substance


1981 an eleven year old kid gets a gift, that is the New Life 7 inch by Depeche Mode, from that very moment the cold beats of drum machines and the alien sounds of synthesizers are the soundtrack of his life, until today.

Living the eighties as a teenager, he absorbs every futuristic and dark sound as a fan, new wave, goth, proto EBM, classics like Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream ...

1987 marks the switch from being pasive to being active, he gets his first synth and drum machine combo as a christmas gift from their parents, a second hand Kawai Sx 240 keyboard and a Korg kpr 77 drum machine, and starts making his own noises and beats from scratch. Soon he forms his first music project, called Ballet Mecánico, with his two fellows Groof and Daniel Erbe.

Heavily synth pop influenced in the beginning, their sound soon moves to darker territories after discovering Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb and later moving into proto rave sounds via the Frequencies album by LFO or the Yellow album by Orbital, as well as those lovely Detroit compilations released in the UK by Network records: Bio Rhythm and Retro techno amomg others. This project last until the mid nineties and left two vinyl releases.

1995 is when his solo career as Hd Substance starts, releasing a track on the Electronic Generators compilation, a showcase of spanish techno pioneers at the moment, on Geometrik records, home of the seminal industrial cult band Esplendor Geométrico a stepping stone to his debut album Eleven on the also cult label Elefant Records.

2014, after more than 20 years in the bussines, more than 30 Ep’s and six full lenght albums, Hd Substance is still here as a full actor in the scene, writing, composing, remixing and playing electronic beats all over the globe, as live performer or as traditional beatmatching dj. An entire life devoted to electronic music in any form
