Sidechains

We love bringing you more of The Neon Talent and this is definitely one of them. We haven't seen any good artists from Spain in a while, but that's about to change.



This Neon's talent name is Alex Ferrer, from Barcelona and the Sidechains project started last year, in August to be exact. He started playing with cubase at a young age, recording the tracks of an industrial-metal band he had with some friends. Their sound resembled Ministry, NIN, Alien Sex Fiend etc.. Then he started listening to Prodigy, Daft Punk (Homework) etc.. He immediately fell in love with electronic music. After this, he bought some equipment to start practicing electronic music. He started making jingles for Spainsh commercials. And because of that, he was left with little time to work on the music he liked, so the Sidechains project started.
The first track he made as Sidechains was, Turn Your Body On, it was well received, then he decided to take it more seriously and started producing new tracks. One of the tracks is going to be released on Pistol (EMI Sublalbel). The release of more tracks are still in negotiation on another label.

His tracks have different styles and influences. You can feel that 90's techno influences, and suddenly you have funky disco sounds, vocoders on others, mixing it with that electro sound that you love. Very good sounds overall, this is somebody you have to watch closely, and expect more from him in the future here at The Neon Rider.

We leave you with 4 tracks directly from him. Hope you like them on the dance floor or banging from your headphones.
