LANNA FESTIVAL with Regis, Jheal Bashta, Amulador

Karl O'Connor is most certainly Regis and it is also highly probable that he propagates other pseudonyms. This has only added to the greater mythology surrounding the influential Downwards label that he has run with fellow art terrorist Peter Sutton (Female) since 1993. Unconventional and single-minded to say the least (what label can boast a back catalogue free of the industry standard cash cow remix ) by decentralising the focus on the dj/producer personality, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene. Degenerate art indeed. Alejandro Torre, better known as Jheal Bashta, channels the raw spirit of industry and the thrill of constant risk. His music dives deep into the grittiest corners of electronic sound, blending intricate textures with driving rhythms and a clear nod to European techno roots. His early releases on labels like Kaos, Traces, and 30Drop turned heads quickly. Artists such as Héctor Oaks, Ancient Methods, Tensal, Stephanie Sykes, and Philipp Strobel recognized his unique approach—hard to pin down but impossible to ignore. For Jheal Bashta, this isn’t just music; it’s a statement. A soundscape where the human meets the mechanical, where the solid collides with the delicate. Always pushing forward, he stays grounded in the roots that define him. Amulador is a moving entity. Always circumspect, he activates the mechanism and dives into the unknown. Away from the hype and from the enlightened figure that is associated to DJs, he rather focus the spotlight into the columns, delivering risky and nonconformist music, capturing the most abstract and pulsating edges of today's electronic music. He combines high-speed trips with different perspectives, that can be melodic and subtle or rhythmic and scathing. Deviant walks through peculiar landscapes are marked with mirages of expectation, opening doors to cinematic fantasy. Amulador makes his name through the quiet shadows, initiating a musical continuum without precedent.
