Damián Schwartz delivers music like a creature that thinks and mutates, his debut album ‘Party Lovers’ is a timeless dancing machine.

One of the key figures of the NET28 family alongside Alex Under, Damian Schwartz´ sound has evolved from the visceral and futuristic techno of its origins, to the warm, cerebral and deep groove of ‘Party Lovers’.

“Party Lovers is all about recollection of good moments, instinctive and positive, an album that reflects what club music means for me: the connection that arises between music, mind and soul, connection that in those rare and wonderful occasions allows for the audience to become one with the music, giving us the chance to disconnect from everything.”

Few artists have the capacity that Damián Schwartz has to excel himself with every new reference, leaving old ideas and used concepts behind to mould a truly contemporary electronic music path. Damián Schwartz is already one of the biggest techno producers of a new generation, uncommonly visionary and wise.

“I had the album all laid out in my head way before I began work on it in the studio. My goal was to synthesize all the roots & influences of my musical background together with constant
investigation of new sounds, searching for an homogenized piece of work, where everything could make sense”.

It is easy to see traces of Chicago’s early house melted with Damian´s techno sound, from the futuristic voyage of Get Into, to the beautiful piano-led melodies of ‘Carolina’s Favourite’, ‘Raw’ and ‘You Where There?’ and laid-back rapturous ‘Órdenes de arriba’. The result is refreshing and original, weaving through the tracks with ease and grace. Party Lovers is a flourishing experiment, engaging from start to finish.

“In the past few years I have had a chance to perform in many different clubs, and the interaction with the audience’s need to dance has enabled me to develop a formula and musical concept that is completely new for me, this change can be felt in my music.”

Body movement as we knew it has changed forever….

Background:

Damián Schwartz is the label head of Múpa, created as an outlet for Schwartz´s most personal feelings and concepts, and cofounder of the NET28 label. From his base in Madrid he has spread his electronic sound across the globe through projects on Oslo, Apnea and Material and widely respected live sets.

Not only a label but a concept, NET28 was created in 2003 by Alex Under, Tadeo Damian Schwartz and Imek with the idea of shaping what was to become Spain’s voice for electronic dance music. Since then it has spawned sublabels Apnea, CMYKmusik, Cyclical Tracks and Mupa and released music from artists such as Thomas Brinkmann, Martin Buttrich, and Davide Squillace.

NET28 as a label is dedicated only to albums. ‘Party Lovers’, its third release, is as inventive as it is perceptive. In the NET28 family the concept is the focus: images, ideas and sensations giving shape to the message within the music. Music that is instinctive, raw & direct, being continually re-shaped because music, as water, fills everything on its route.

Party Lovers ventures onto a path where the past and future of electronic music unite, changing the face of what went before.
