Global Vibe Radio 161 Feat. PØLI

/in , , , /by

For this week’s Global Vibe Radio episode we welcome Italian-born and Barcelona-based PØLI, Producer, Co-Founder and DJ resident of HEX Barcelona and HEX Recordings.

In this studio mix, PØLI demonstrates his unique musical style: a mix of mental, disturbing melodies and powerful techno. The name “PØLI” comes from the polygon, a geometric figure with multiple sides that represents the eclecticism of his music. Despite his more-than-evident techno stamp, he is not a purist and his sets always carry different influences including House, Detroit, Dance, Dub, Trance and ’80s music.

Esteemed Barcelona techno institution HEX launched a brand-new record label with four original cuts from its Italian Co- Founders PØLI, and Lorenzo Raganzini with remixes by Regal, Insolate, Nico Moreno, VII Circle and Zanias.

Since its birth in 2014, Barcelona’s HEX has become one of techno’s most formidable brands; organising events at venues and festivals such as INPUT, Razzmatazz, Brunch –In and DGTL Barcelona, establishing a devout following with its matchless crowd, not to mention booking many of techno’s finest names like Jeff Mills, Ben Klock, Rebekah, Blawan, Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, I Hate Models, Marcel Dettmann, Dax J, Paula Temple and DVS1. At the core of HEX is its co-founders and residents PØLI, and Lorenzo Raganzini, who now launch HEX Recordings to diffuse its own sound and cultivate talents of the international scene and already established acts.

Collaborating for the label’s debut release, PØLI, and Lorenzo Raganzini went on a 10-day isolated retreat in a professional recording studio in the Spanish countryside – with no method of communication with the outside world – to produce the label’s debut release. The result is four quality techno tracks which were later granted to remixes from five respected techno artists; Fleisch’s Zanias, Involve head Regal, Out of Place boss Insolate, ex-founder of Blvckplvgue Nico Moreno and Rapid Eye Movement co-founders VII Circle. A follow up digital release will include further remixes from VSK, Alignment, AWB, Farceb and Svarog.
