Infamous

Fernando Lagreca’s music transports the listener into a sophisticated dimension and vibrant atmospheres where he mangles different approaches and textures disrupting traditional forms of electronic music. On his third and finest full-length Infamous out this early spring via Beautiful Accident he combines his passion for analog synthesis with eerie operatic samples and hypnotic melodic lines.

Following on from his 2014’s album Control (Irregular) which highlighted mellow ambiances, slo mo disco and downtempo / synthpop structures, Infamous branches into unfamiliar sonic territories such as Urban Soul, Drum & Bass and Techno with a razor-sharp method of musical composition. Infamous kicks off with the dazzling and delicate “Creation” setting the tone for what is still to come…

Subsequently Infamous takes off into an experimental vortex of emotive dynamics traveling through time and space bursting into a melting pot of different sonic textures orchestrated with personality and taste. Often deviating from normality and challenging standard conventions Infamous mirrors Lagreca’s recent musical discoveries taking us to an almost extra-terrestrial aural voyage. Not surprisingly, Lagreca’s latest work still gathers some trademark sounds from earlier releases but with an additional collective spirit featuring collaborations with Chantelle R, Kamal Imani, and B.Dopran. “Dark Net” is a gloomy and exquisite spaceship that mimics a rave on the fluffy soil of the moon packed with old school house influenced stabs while “Dissociation” flows like water through a waterfall blending 80s synthesizer elements with uplifting lyrical prose.

With live performances on festivals such as Sónar, ADE, Bime and Pit Lane, 2020 looks promising for Fernando Lagreca, a long-time music aficionado who splits his time between music production and managing a cast of talented artists through his own agency Miracle Management. As well as teaching master classes (SAE Institute, EUMES) and running his own music label (Beautiful Accident). He’s a jack-of-all-trades!
