El Guincho

Delivered Pablo Díaz-Reixa in the Canary Islands, the Spanish-owned archipelago from the coastline of Northwestern Africa, Un Guincho discovered indie blog popularity in early 2008, soon after the prior December’s discharge of his record Alegranza, which coincided nicely along with his UNITED STATES debut efficiency in Austin, Tx, on the SXSW festival. At age group 14, Díaz-Reixa still left his house for Continental European countries to spotlight a profession in sports, however when that didn’t workout, he shifted to Barcelona, where he performed drums in a variety of rings, including Coconut along with his guitar-playing cousin. It had been while touring with Coconut in 2006 that the theory for Un Guincho — mixing examples of his preferred tropicalia and calypso along with percussion and his very own vocals — came into being. Alegranza was very quickly in comparison to Panda Bear’s Person Pitch and earned El Guincho valued areas at both SXSW as well as the Pitchfork Music Celebration, along numerous favorable testimonials. His second recording, Pop Negro, documented in Berlin’s World Roc studio and different places around Spain, premiered in Sept of 2010. Díaz-Reixa spent another few years operating behind the moments, generating albums for Extraperlo (Delirio Específico) and Los Punsetes ‎(Una Montaña Sera Una Montaña) in 2012. He also do a remix of Björk’s “Cosmogony” that same 12 months. He resurfaced in 2014 beneath the name Trances and released an EP of sample-based tribal techno for John Talabot’s Hivern Discs. Díaz-Reixa reverted back again to the Un Guincho name in 2016 using the Hiperasia recording, a bubbling electro-R&B/pop recording influenced by his desire for a remove of Chinese language bazaars in Madrid.
