Sexenni release new single “Houston” the official song of La Volta Ciclista de Catalunya

Sexenni presents ‘Houston’, the first single from their second album, which will be released next September, and which will be accompanied by the Viatge Galàctic tour, which will undoubtedly exceed expectations, as this first one has already done.

After living a brilliant rise last year after their first album ‘Portrats’, which contains hits like ‘Sarrià Boy’ or ‘De Lao’, in this song they recap their experience and invite everyone to join the “journey galactic” particular to the group. If their debut album, ‘Retrats’, ended with the emblem “Sexenni takes off”, now the group continues with the space theme, where through cosmonautical allegories they launch a message full of energy and euphoria where they announce the next stage of the band. Without fear of jumping into the pool and without fear of what might happen, ‘Houston’ is a song to push and youth.

‘Houston’ is a step from Lleida towards a more pop sound, influenced by synthwave, but maintaining the group’s urban roots. The production has been carried out by Pep Saula, a member of the group, with the collaboration of Víctor Ayuso (producer of artists such as Renaldo & Clara and Júlia Blum) and Jan Aygua (producer of artists such as Scorpio and Roger Padrós). The release is also accompanied by a video clip of Gina M. Wandelmer produced by LCD Films.

This theme has already become the official song of the Volta Ciclista en Catalunya 2023. The group from Lleida has prevailed over the other two finalist songs with 53% of the votes, in a contest that has accumulated almost 1,500 votes over ten days .

In this way, ‘Houston’ will be the main song during this year’s Volta, which will take place from March 20 to 26. Among all the participants, a double subscription for Canet Rock 2023 and a leader’s jersey signed by the winner of last year’s Volta, the Colombian Sergio Andrés Higuita, have been raffled.

Do not miss this year’s Volta Ciclista where ‘Houston’ will be the soundtrack in this third edition of the contest, organized by iCat, the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya and the Institut Català de les Empreses Culturals, with the collaboration of the Catalan Academy of music.

Although the album will have to wait until the end of summer, the group will already start a tour where part of the new repertoire will advance. The tour will start at the Sala Cotton Club in Lleida and at the Sala Razzmatazz in Barcelona and promises to go through the main music festivals in the country!

New Single by Slim Samurai & Teuma Thug (P.A.W.N. Gang) “Hey Mama – Alternative Version”

The singer and composer Toni Pla, better known in the urban music circle as Slim Samurai, comes from Ibiza to send a positive message full of that tranquility that has always characterized him. Such is his music. That pinch of calm that at some point of the day, we always need.

Slim currently resides in Barcelona, but before that he dedicated a large part of his time to travel the world in search of the necessary inspiration for his creations. Thai beaches, the Bolivian jungle or Machu Picchu itself helped him form and close various stages of his life until he reached the point where he is today.

His freshness and sound identity have been part of the urban nexus for a decade, collaborating with artists such as Cruz Cafuné, Cecilio G, Lil Moss, Chill Chicos and Las Bajas Pasiones, among others. Singing, recording songs and directing video clips throughout the underground scene, he has ended up becoming a key to understanding the current industry.

After presenting a new record last May 2021, together with Tauro, ‘Nimbo’, an album that has managed to perfectly combine indie and urban music, now presents a new song: ‘Hey Mama’.

This new single is a song dedicated to all those people who are far from home, living adventures and finding their way. A mix between urban and rock sounds, where autotune blends with electric guitar riffs. In this song we find the versatile Slim Samurai together with Teuma Thug, a member of the P.A.W.N Gang, who together leave us this new single from the Delirics label and with the production of Maken Row.

Don’t miss ‘Hey Mama’, the new song by Slim Samurai that makes you feel at home from anywhere in the world!

New single by Uri Santafé & Lamliki “Flores”

Uri Santafé and Lamliki are two artists who, despite coming from different styles and countries, when it comes to music, complement each other perfectly. When one composes and the other produces, they speak the same language.

Uri Santafé writes with a very intimate and personal introspective style where it is clear that he seeks to touch the fiber. He left the most classic Hip Hop behind a long time ago to embark on a clear experimental trend and new sounds, something that is reflected in the Beatneeks project, a band led by Uri Santafé and with which they have won several regional competitions such as Engresca ‘t and the Maresmusic; as well as, they have been finalists in other state competitions such as Alcalá Suena or Emergentes de Zamora.

Lamliki is a beatmaker, producer and also a renowned DJ at places as important as Pacha, Café del Mar, La Terrrazza in Barcelona, Union Club in London or the Minimal Bar in Berlin, among others.

After presenting together ‘Torna-ho a fer’, the new song with a positive vibe that is a preview of their first EP, now a second song comes to light that reacts against fragile masculinity and champions the virtue of being vulnerable: ‘ Flowers’. This single is very special because it has very personal lyrics and also, they have managed to bring it to their style with urban sounds.

‘Flores’ is the heart of ‘Vulnerable’, a work with which the duo of Uri Santafé and Lamliki with Delirics debut this year. Don’t miss his debut!

New single by Oli “Polea”

Oli is a rap artist and dancer from Barcelona. She entered the musical world with her first group, La Clika Pika, made up of rappers, all women and dissident identities, where they combined lyrics in Catalan and Spanish, seeking the empowerment of women and other identities to transform society. She likes to share the creative space, which is why she has collaborated with artists such as KeTeCalles, Pirat’s Sound Sistema and with Las Bajas Pasiones on her previous and first solo song: ‘Murciélagos y farolas‘. A single that talks about the night, about how we idealized it since we were little, the magical things that happen in it and this evolution towards a more adult vision that makes you see the lack of freedom and more control in the streets.

Now, to start the year, Oli presents ‘Polea‘, a song made by her with the music of Deps. It is a song that talks about duels in the sweetest way. The video shows us how these duels are present throughout life in different ways and how beautiful it is when we experience them collectively. He also talks about accepting changes with phrases like “it’s not leaving behind, it’s transforming” or, “getting away in time to get closer again.” The video is thought out in detail and created by the production company Vols Videos, who always know how to capture reality with great tenderness.

Oli has just started her solo project, with energy and the desire to share what she has been cooking on a slow fire: raw lyrics, but hopeful and powerful, which introduce you to a more critical and reflective world!
