Hi guys,
one of the boys to the minimal scene of spain.
MICROLIVE05 ~ LOD ~ Live@RADIO (MADRID). 01/04/2006
Luis Ortiz is the person behind the labels Klitekture, Sinergy-Networks
and Calima while he uses the rest of the time to produce music for this labels and other respected international labels like Realjoke or Minus_n(Japan), Mosferry, Eintakt and Thinnerism(Germany), Antmanuv(Canada),
Fragment(Rusia), Modelisme(France) or Homeless(EEUU).
Originary from the Canary islands(Spain), he have lived a good portion of his live between London, Dublin, Boston and especially Los Angeles.
Nowadays he lives in Barcelona consolidating the projects and ideas that he brought from overseas. Klitekture records was created in 2001 in Gran Canaria, its his first and most loved label that count with artists like Sutekh,
Mikael Stavóstrand, Deadbeat, Johan Skugge, Tomas Jirku, Tonne,
Pep Gaya, Lowfour and LOD himself dedicated to create clicky music for minimal minds under a conceptual format and sustained with a techno rhythm decorated will glitchness.
Sinergy-Networks is a netlabel developed and created in Barcelona on 2004 and its based on the theory synergy who affirms that the combined power
of a group of things when they are working together which is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately. The free to download releases are interactions between artists through sharing files, structures, ideas using latest technologies like internet, rewire to avoid distances,
time or distribution barriers. The latest project but not least important
is Calima, a vinyl label with minimal stricktly for the dancefloor with more fresh and organic sounds. The meaning of Calima is to blow warm air to the organization with the work from artists coming from the canary Islands
and other recognized and upcoming international artists like Hakan Lidbo, Gurtz, Theodor Zox, Funzion. Luis Ortiz have performed at most prestigious festivals for this genre of music like Sonar(2003) and Observatori(2003)
aswell as international festivals like Time Warp being the first spanish artist to play for this prestigious german events. While he uses the name of LOD
for me minimal and experimental events he keeps his name Luis Ortiz to play more danceable oriented material. His Dj sessions are caracterized by the energy that he transmits to the crowd while his live sessions and more concentrated on more complex material, sharing line up with the most important artist for minimal and techno music he is very confortable playing
at different types of events from modern festivals to clubs thank to the wide spectrum of music that he plays going from more sonic minimalism to more obscure and contundent techno.
nice live.
bye
