It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of one of our most respected friends, colleagues and artists: Cocó Ciëlo. Who was found dead in his Madrid apartment on the morning of Sunday. According to the news item published in the Spanish media, Cocó was slashed to death with a knife, no other details are mentioned. Cocó was half of the techno pop duo Ciëlo and also was member of Silvania one of Latinamerica's most pioneering shoegaze and techno acts. Alongside his musical partner Mario, both were responsible for some of the most memorable and cutting edge music to emerge from Spain in the last two decades. We will miss him dearly.

Fax delivers his sixth release, Yo Recuerdo on May 13th. Upgrading the sounds of his previous release, Primario, Fax continues the path into ambient and downtempo electronica. Whereas Primario was marked by a dark undercurrent of sound, Yo Recuerdo is a brighter affair. Yo Recuerdo is dreamier, closer to the sounds of Guthrie and Budd, but retaining the minimal electronic feel Fax is known for. And for those missing Fax dancier techno moments, there is a remix of one of the most memorable tracks on the album "Cuarto Para Tres". Album mastered by Fernando Corona (Murcof) with guest vocals by Florencia Ruiz and Uriel Villalobos (Perdutto).

Balancing lush and lo-fi sound aesthetics, Carrie's folksy mannerisms go in between The Postal Service and The Radio Dept. universes, landing in an unique and minimal melodic pop. New member Pelvis joins Carrie and contributes sounds and backing vocals to the album. 1981 was produced by Rubén Tamayo (Fax).
