Fer BR<\/a> is a common name on the boards of the most minimal sounds of Spain\u2019s underground clubbing. He\u2019s a good friend and faithful collaborator of one of the biggest legends of the country, Paco Osuna<\/a>, with whom he even shares an artistic project under the alias Project00. Fer BR\u2019s sound is dark, minimalist, and eclectic. Halfway between tech-house and techno, although perhaps closer to the former, he has found his way into important imprints such as Claude von Stroke\u2019s Dirtybird and Adam Beyer\u2019s Truesoul. After six months of the pandemic, he also reappears on Mindshake<\/a>, Paco Osuna\u2019s label, where he had already launched music in the past, to release Multiple<\/a><\/em>, a 10-track album in which we can appreciate the nuances of his different facets as a producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main trigger for <\/em>Multiple was my move to Barcelona<\/a> and the time I needed to adapt to the new studio and the city. At first, I wasn\u2019t truly clear about what I wanted to do in terms of production: whether I preferred to avoid following fashions, or perhaps to adapt a little to more current sounds. In the end, I decided to stay true to my principles and go for different styles, always adding my personal touch. After the process, I got a few tracks quite different from each other and proposed to Paco Osuna to release a dancefloor-oriented album on Mindshake. After thinking about the concept and finishing some tracks, <\/em>Multiple was born.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fer BR has been working on these tracks for more than a year. The pandemic only made him doubt about when to release the album, as it had been ready for months: \u201cIn fact, at first, we delayed the release, but, after thinking about it, we decided to publish it anyway, although, without clubs and festivals where we could play the music, it wasn\u2019t the best time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fer BR tells us that he always starts his tracks with the kick and the bass. When another element attracts his attention, he usually uses it to start new projects. \u201cIt usually happens to me, for example, with vocal elements,\u201d he says. As for the software, he uses Ableton Live<\/a> and works a lot \u201cin the box\u201d, although he also messes around from time to time \u201cwith some machines in the studio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
