For many artists — and for much of the contemporary electronic music scene — club music represents a clear destination, almost a kind of mecca where sound, body, and community converge. For the Spanish producer from Granada, Tripulante 79, however, that territory has always been something different: a place approached with a certain caution, observed from a reflective distance.
His trajectory has long explored electronic music as an introspective language, where the relationship with machines and the construction of sonic landscapes carry as much weight as rhythmic functionality. Now he presents his latest release on the Spanish label Rhod Records, one of the most respected platforms when it comes to honest and coherent curatorial vision within experimental techno.
Over the years, Rhod Records has built a catalog that prioritizes artistic identity over fleeting trends, supporting producers who approach techno through conceptual patience and sonic depth. Within that framework, the arrival of Tripulante 79 feels especially natural. His music shares the label’s inclination toward structures that unfold gradually, where repetition becomes a tool for exploration rather than merely a dancefloor mechanism. It is within this context that Quimera emerges — a release that marks a particular moment in his artistic evolution.
Quimera represents the moment when that distance from the club begins to narrow. Across six tracks, the producer moves closer to the logic of the dancefloor while preserving the elements that have defined his sound: a direct relationship with machines, structures that develop patiently, and a persistent tension between the physical and the mental. Rhythm becomes more prominent, yet it never overrides the contemplative dimension that runs through his work.
This is not an abrupt stylistic shift, nor an attempt to conform to a specific mold. What appears instead is a deliberate decision to allow the pulse of the club to infiltrate his sonic language more clearly. The result is an album operating on two simultaneous planes. On one side lies the dancefloor, where rhythm and movement take a more central role. On the other lies attentive listening, where every texture, transition, and subtle variation retains room to breathe.
Rather than a full transformation, Quimera captures a point of intersection — that precise moment when two trajectories, introspective exploration and club energy, finally begin to converge. The music moves between these poles without fully resolving the tension, allowing both to coexist within the same sonic landscape.
For more than five minutes, Dragon de Hierro pulses within that same duality that runs throughout the entire release. Its dancefloor latency rises and recedes through dense layers, like sonic bulbs expanding while rhythmic flashes illuminate the night. The track sustains a steady continuity, almost hypnotic, capable of drawing the psyche into a state of deep repetition. Dormant dances seem to awaken within this constant flow. And at the center of it all stands an iron dragon, fused with the sound and with the endless eternity of the loop.
