“I think when you listen to the mix, you can realize that I miss so much playing to people, even though and being far from that feeling I have really enjoyed recording this mix for Electronic Groove. I have tried to imprint my present tastes. Also I have included some future releases from my label Sincopat and my next EP for Mobilee that really represents my mood at the current moment. It was recorded with 2 Pioneer CDJ plus, an A&H mixer, and my main focus was to bring some good vibes, optimism, and hope… So please listen and enjoy!” – AFFKT
Hailing from the Spanish mainland is a sound that’s resonating globally thanks to a select choice of producers that have been able to create their own path after years of honest and competent work. A notable character from that sub-culture of game-changers is Marc Martinez Nadal, aka AFFKT, who consecrated a music career and has been a driving force behind a vivid & empowering sound that is refined by his drive for perfection. He feels deeply in communion with sounds that range from the most energetic techno to the most detailed and multi-colored electronica.
Having worked on coining the sound of this alias since 2008, it has been a plethora of sound, place, person & culture that has provided a platform for AFFKT to experiment with his output. Serving huge electronic crossover masterpieces that derive into the many sub-genres of music via key imprints such as Mobilee, Last Night On Earth, Disco Halal, Needwant, Exploited or Culprit, and his very own Sincopat label, and expressing versatility digging deep into his influences of sounds by delivering heart-stopping, engaging techno on the likes of Octopus, Noir Music, Suara… AFFKT is committed to a life of synthesis and this is what sets himself apart from a comparatively shallow glance at dance music.
Within its versatility is that of working with other musicians. As a result, the fantastic teamwork generated with the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Sutja Gutierrez. This synergy can be discovered in their just amazing live performances.
Once described as a “Son of a Thousand Sounds” – precisely the title he chose for his latest and highly acclaimed, even award-winning LP-, AFFKT is in constant evolution in his career where he has surpassed expectation and enjoyed praise from his peers. Cutting through the ranks, his path has retained essences of so many that have influenced him; but now sits shoulder to shoulder in skill & presence.
