A combination of the explosive rhythms of hyperpop and reggaeton. Valencian artist Ciberchico opens this second session of the festival, taking bedroom pop to another level. 9ckles follows with a mixture of house, pop and post-punk. And to close this edition we have Brava, one of the leading lights of the more experimental side of reggaeton.
Born in Valencia in 1996, Ciberchico is a sensitive young guy with blue hair, somewhat introverted but confident enough to call you bby whenever it suits. A fan of nerd and edgy, he makes new pop with lyrics about love, misfortune and spite, and an urban sound that straddles hyperpop and trap. He forms part of the music collective Toxic Pop with Leftee, Popin’Love, Carlo Frío and Rare, and his influences include Bladee, David Shawty, Daniel Daniel, Cariño and Yung Beef.
At the beginning of 2020 he released his first EP entitled Flor, packed with pop hits and the absolutely amazing track Matarte a besos, one of those songs you just have to sing out loud. He followed it up in October with his first LP Polaroid, featuring collaborations with eminences like Pedro LaDroga, Leftee and Popin’love.
His latest album, Tren a Madrid was released last November in collaboration with musician Daniel Daniel.
9ckles is one of the most enigmatic artists on the underground music scene. At just 19 years old, Adri Yáñez, the name behind this artist from Madrid’s Villaverde neighbourhood, demonstrates his adaptability and chameleonic musical talent with tracks that range from pure hyperpop to post-punk to bedroom pop.
Following Diario de un niño recién nacido (2020), 9ckles recently teamed up with Jeanne d’Arc to release Las Canciones de Apolo, an EP featuring three tracks in which he reveals, as only he knows how, his preoccupations, fears and hang-ups. His super-fast hyperpop barely lasts four minutes but will leave audiences wanting more.
Brava. When you experience a set by Brava, you regain your youth and relive the amazing sensation of discovering a curtain for the very first time. Her rhythms range from the most brutal trap to the gentlest afrobeat, to dembow, reggaeton and R&B. But what Brava really does is mix it all together, give it a good shake and invite you to feel the thrill of dancing freely. She also forms part of the Madrid collective @dembooty.club, collaborated with Boiler Room in the past and has shared the booth with the likes of DJ Playero and Kelman Duran.
