On the back of an exciting debut album in 2012 that saw him perform live at Sonar festival and later with his band at Vienna's Volkstheatre, before disseminating music on Permanent Vacation, Suol and Connaisseur Recordings, enigmatic Basque Country producer El_Txef_A returns with his sophomore longplayer 'We Walked Home Together'. El_Txef_A (pronounced "Elchefa") has crafted a work that just like its journey-conjuring title, charts a shifting palette of sounds and moods, exemplifying its creator Aitor Etxebarria's breadth of skill. Produced entirely in Aitor's homeland of the mountainous Basque Country, the album showcases the talents of not just its creator who producers, sings and plays piano on the record, but also some of the Spanish region's most outstanding musicians. Local artist Biskonti is one contributor, whose vocals coat a brooding bed of rough-cut drums on the ice-cold slice of electronica 'I'm Going to Paint You', while Hannot lends his pipes to the moving 'You Left Us In This Physical World' that sweep over a delicately crafted brew of guitars and keys. Both Basque vocalists featured on El_Txef_A's debut 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room'. Sublime title track 'We Walked Home Together' turns into a family affair, with Aitor's brother Hibai playing the grand piano. A graduate at 2013's Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, El_Txef_A has an impressive array of sonic strings to his bow and the Detroit techno inspired 'Claim of Planet Earth' deliciously rubs shoulders with the album's single, the alternative slice of pop 'The Love We Lost' featuring DFA's Woofly. Elsewhere, Aitor paints a dream-like soundscape with the sublime shoegaze-inspired trip '0730' that seamlessly bleeds into 'Every Day Is Blue Monday', with its atmosphere-heavy swirl of subtle acid lines, floating synths and evocative vocals delivered by Suol records contributor Meggy. An artist whose music is inextricably connected with his homeland, the album concludes with the stirring 'Mugarrirantz' sung in the native tongue of Euskera by country folk band Napora Iria. It's proof that El_Txef_A is equally adept at doffing his cap to tradition as moving a dancefloor with his inspired brand of electronica.

Tracklist EP: A -
The Fiakun label teams up with the highly talented Piek, who together with Samuel Fitch & Mianyo delivers some superb disco inflected house in the shape of ‘Hemingway’... Fiakun’s last release saw the Spanish label drop the excellent ‘Voodoo’ by Mexican producer Cesar Coronado, a record which caught the attention of Djs such as Huxley, Maceo Plex & Ralph Lawson. Now the hotly tipped imprint returns with a brand new single, this time delivered courtesy of the excellent Piek. Piek hails from the North of Spain and has over the last few years become one of the countries most promising and prolific producers dropping releases on labels such as Azari, Cray1 LabWorks, Inmotion and Paulatine, the label he manages with Uner and Baum. Now he joins forces with Mianyo and vocalist Samuel Fitch to create this standout new release for Fiakun. The A side features the original version of ‘Hemingway’, a richly produced, disco inflected house outing that fuses warm electronic bass, retro keys and rolling percussion to create a stunning soundbed for Fitch’s soulful and intense vocals, quality stuff. The flipside sees ‘Hemingway’ handed over to remixes M.V.I.P. better known to the world as Mathias Vogt and Ian Pooley, who deliver a version that journeys into techier territory with its tight drum programming and old school house influences working a treat. Fiakun have delivered another superb single, further cementing there position as a label to watch...

They have signed this Fiakun 006 which is received with much love. The pair of musicians and in turn we could say that music lovers, focused the EP on the hottest House with some R&B leanings. Besides, they are making use of synthesizers like the most exclusive Moog to delight us with some arpeggios that evoke a purer era. These two Hits are accompanied with a Remix by Sergio Santos.

Now is the time for Aitor Etxebarria, better known as El_Txef_A to expose his innermost feelings, as he's already begun to on releases from labels like Hypercolour, Suol and Wazi Wazi. This time, he is undoubtedly on his best of form. Aitor, born and raised in the Basque Country, is in that group of artists sparingly measuring their output, always searching for the new, aiming for high quality instead of constant, monotonous releases. After years of dedicated work, El_Txef_A announces his debut album "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room". El_Txef_A stands for a specific and complex sound signature. His primary concern to develop a sound that people can identify with as well as just simply enjoy freely. Continuing in the Bilbao tradition, he is building a base of pure sampled sounds with studio sessions, live musicians and vocals to complement his production. Collaborations with vocalist Bisconti and Hannot supplies added depth to tracks like "Rise and Fall", and previous single "Lovely Minds" or "Save The World". A true milestone in this young Basque artist's career, we are proud to present the fruits of his labours, "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room".

Russia is a cold country, but it seems that Volta Cab has created an underworld in his hometown, where he creates, creates and don't stop creating dance music with a warm, acoustic and timeless point of view.
Konstantyn gives us for this fourth release, three original tunes where acoustic are mixed with synthetics as no one ever had done and gives us details that only come to those music lovers who are never satisfied with a simple rhythm.
This time the Fiakun Boys have two pure elite remixers, such as Daniel Bortz and Ene! which they have remixed "Be Madly In My Love" with their own perspective and initiative.

Fiakun's large chest continues filling with discs but not for it is losing the essence and purity that is showing us. For this new "maxi", Fiakun get full of pride on presenting two of the most underground "southern" of the Spanish State "T.W.I.C.E", that gives us a "Dubbing Of My Soul" full of strength, character and a voice that will make fervour whistles of crowds. For this new 12", Fiakun boys are surrounded on one hand with one of the electronic music diva, Claudia P.Toile, who will take us to the cold Germany with a powerful and aggressive mix.
For the other remix, Fiakun presents its new signing, with whom it has the following release closed, Volta Cab. He is thought to be one of the 2011 artists, he brings us to a much more warm and acoustic remix.

After touching the sky with the first 12", The Fiakun Boys come back to load a second reference signed by Robin Masters Orchestra. Oliver Marquardt in collaboration with Desney Bailey bring us to a classic house tune, full of nuances and romance."Dance with the moon" is completed with two high level remixes. Sasse, on the one hand, reinterpret the original with a lighter mixture that brings us to a more organic scene. On the other hand, Matthias Vogt, draws us with a more mixed present, leaving aside his musical education to give us a very very tasty remix for hot nights.

Fiakun guys, open their home doors, with a first release signed by them. "Around Your Neck", a track based on a high-weight vocal and a simple piano, moves us to the most underground and contemporary House with a simple but very tasty construction. The first 12" is complemented by two remixes of many carat: In one hand, Penner + Muder move us to the cold Berlin, with a perfect mix and appealing for those dj's who are finding a long and intense mix. In the other hand, Roberto Rodriguez, reinvents the original, to delight us with a more warm and harmonious track, with his so personal style that the Compost guy has accustomed us.
