UNER INTERVIEW

UNER is one of the most important names of the new generation of Spanish electronic music producers. His musical training allowed him to develop at a very early age a different dance music concept, based on the pleasure for harmony and the search for a unique, personal sound. This has lead him to edit for labels like Diynamic (where he's an active member and has edited some of his most celebrated works, "Raw Sweat" and "Bassboot", one of the most RA Top Charted Tracks in 201 1 ), Cadenza (making his debut on the label with "Pallene" and "Cocoua", most-hyped UNER's tracks ever), 2020 Vision, Get Physical, Defected or CR2 to mention a few. UNER has earned the respect of the music industry with talent and work: names like Luciano, Carl Cox or Laurent Garnier play his music on a regular basis; clubs like Berlin's Watergate or Space Ibiza book him oftenly and his number of fans increases by the day; all of this because of what he does best, his music.

Apart from traveling around the world as a Dj, in 2011 UNER presented his live gigs, an audiovisual concept in which he uses state-of-the-art software and hardware (from iPads to mini midi keyboards) to explore his most solid, personal side. The artistic expansion of the Catalonian producer will go on during the following months with the creation of several artist albums where he'll express his way of understanding electronic music from a musical point of view and from the center of the dancefloor. UNER's bound to reach higher tops with the only limit of his music... so there's still loads to see, listen and dance.

Greatest inspirations or influences?

I always try to not have big influences but thats a difficult thing.  Classical music in all his ways is strong in my background and maybe it is the strongest influence since I was a child. In electronic music, Laurent Garnier, Orbital or Depeche Mode, they still are always on my mind. I also find  inspiration in the silence.

Favorite websites, blogs, publications?

I like to stay updated about news on electronic music, but my schedule is so busy, with studio time and gigs, so I try to spend all the time as I can with my family and friends or resting. I currently don't get so much leisure time.

Summer tour dates? Almost all the gigs in the summer time will happens in Ibiza: Vagabundos @ Pacha, Ushuaia, Diynamic Neon Nights @ Sankeys and Space Ibiza (opening and Carl Cox nights, 3rd year in a row) . I will play in Berlin, Paris or big spanish festivals like Sonar, Monegros or Rock in Rio... www.facebook.com/unermusic.

Most memorable set so far?

It's difficult to say just one favourite set when you are doing 7 or 8 gigs each month. There are a lot of big events and awesome clubs but if I have to choose one of this year, I'd pick  live PA in Nikki Beach past WMC with the Cadenza guys and the last Dynamic night in Watergate, which was amazing!

Anything else he would like to share?

I would like to say to all the new electronic music artists that they have to keep working hard to reach their goals. This is the best work in the world, and the most special, but it requires a lot of effort and sacrifice. Keep the good work and fight for your dreams.
