PREMIERE: Atàvic - Anacreonic [Alpenglühen]
The Spanish electronic scene we’ve come to know is not driven by spectacle. It’s built on continuity. People showing up for each other, projects evolving quietly, ideas passing hands without losing their edge. Creatividad Artificial sits firmly in that lineage. It brings together three figures who have helped define the scene's tone over time: F-on, Estrato Aurora, and ABSIS. Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona. Released on Alpenglühen, the four-track EP introduces Atàvic, the new collaborative project between Estrato Aurora and ABSIS. The project feels like a continuation of a conversation already in motion, with both artists allowing their signatures to overlap rather than collapse into a single voice. In Creatividad Artificial, the groove is treated less as a stylistic choice than as a structural constant, tuned and recalibrated across electro, techno, and halftime forms, always nudged by dub logic.
Our premiere, “Anacreonic,” builds slowly, carried by a deep, rolling groove that stays grounded while its details shift around it. Dub chords hover, percussion subtly reshapes itself, and a hypnotic sequence carries the track forward without ever being a focal point. It’s measured and confident. This is not peak-time rhetoric or background drift. It sits comfortably in the middle ground where movement becomes intuitive. Anacreonic doesn’t try to impress on first contact, but grows stronger the longer it’s allowed to breathe.
"Creatividad Artificial" offers a window into the creative process of these masterminds. Atàvic will perform their live set for the first time at Mostra 2026. Like we needed more reasons to be at Mostra this year! "Creatividad Artificial" is coming out on January 30th as a vinyl-only release.
