  • [Original Deadstock Copies] Muñeco de Goma - Frecuencia 666
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    DEADSTOCK NM ORIGINAL COPIES, not a reissue.
    __
    Juan Laforga, aka Frecuencia 666 was born and raised in the 60s in Valladolid, and he has been a cultural agitator ever since the minute he put his feet on the dancefloor.

    There, Juan started to throw the first parties of the Spanish transition era, bringing together the most eclectic English sound, all the way from post punk towards the hyped electronic sound of the era (he names Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode as major influences back then).

    In 1982, whims of fate took him to Valencia to comply with the mandatory military service. There he bumped La Ruta del Bacalao at its best, meeting Fran Lenaers, Tony el Gitano or Carlos Simo. La Ruta was probably one of the most important cultural events of Spanish musical heritage, and there was Juan Laforga collaborating and inspiring some of the most iconic parties in venues such as Chocolate, Spook or Barraca.

    Nurtured by the unique and vanguardist Valencian sound, he started to craft his own music with synthesizers and rhythm machines, with big beat, techno and dub influences.

    In 1991, with a very DIY approach, Juan Laforga produced and released this EP “Muñeco de Goma” under his alias (and later label) Frecuencia 666: a singular and obscure piece of work that himself defines as “electro dub”. The artwork, the broken beats and the bizarre and unpredictable sound makes “Muñeco de Goma” a memorable piece of work of an irreverent artist.

    TIP: Play it at 33RPM +8: it sounds twice as interesting.

    “This rhythm is made for you to break in two. And if it doesn’t break you, then you must be dead".

    Juan Laforga, aka Frecuencia 666, nacido y criado en Valladolid, ha sido un agitador de la escena desde que pudo poner un pie en la pista de baile.

    En una provincia a dos horas de Madrid, Valladolid, Juan comenzó a lanzar sus primeras fiestas en plena transición trayendo el sonido más UK en forma de post-punk, para poco a poco acercarse al techno y a sonidos más electrónicos. Los caprichos del destino le forzaron a cumplir su servicio militar en Valencia en plena eclosión de la Ruta. Allí conoció a Tony el Gitano, Fran Lenaers y otros DJs míticos que capitalizaron uno de los movimientos culturales más importantes de España para colaborar e inspirarse en fiestas en las emblemáticas Chocolate y en Spook. Nutrido del sonido valenciano, comenzó a producir con sintetizadores y cajas de ritmos un sonido atípico que reunía influencias del big beat con el techno y tintes de dub.

    En 1991, produjo y autoeditó este EP “Muñeco de Goma” bajo su alias Frecuencia 666: un trabajo singular que él mismo define como “Electro Dub”. La portada, los ritmos rotos y los sonidos extraños, cargados y oscuros hacen de “Muñeco de Goma” el trabajo memorable de un artista que nunca ha rendido cuentas con nadie.

    “Este ritmo está hecho para que te rompas. Y todo aquel que no se rompa, está muerto.”

    Tip: A -33rpm +8 suena doblemente interesante.
