#ands mega

Ands Mega (AKA Andrés Gómez) is a young music producer from Puebla City, Mexico, who specializes in chuggy techno and creative electronic music ‘without limitation’. After releases on Logical Records, as well as cuts for Nein, Play Pal, and others as part of the duo FLXXX, Ands Mega makes a bold statement on Roam Recordings with “Hypermanic”. The track is awash in dark synths and throbbing bass, building steadily over seven minutes with its delightfully foreboding groove. The cut is dynamic and special, evoking John Carpenter film themes and the European underground in sound and melodic flavor. Two remixes accompany “Hypermanic”, led by a version from Madrid-based producer Telesketch (Logical, Nein) who adds a more insistent rhythm and a gloriously huge mid-song breakdown. El Fulminador (Fulmen Records), hailing from Berlin-via-Argentina, follows with a version of “Hypermanic” that gets into a spacier and sexier zone. The original’s ‘chug’ is there, enveloped in obscure pads, gentle keys, and mysterious vocal snatches. It’s another captivating release from Roam Recordings, signaling an ambitious 2017 release schedule.

Nick Warren (The Soundgarden / Hope Recordings) – “3 cracking chuggers!” Rusty / All Good Funk Alliance (Super Hi-Fi) – “Love the Renegade Soundwave vibes of the original, very cool stuff.” Tronik Youth (Nein Records) – “Cool package. Live the Telesketch Remix.” Stereo 77 (Plimsoll Records) – “The remixes are very good.” Ulysses (Neurotic Drum Band) – “Solid EP of downtempo groovers.” DJ Red Eye (Beauty Bar Dallas) – “Wow! Giving me those EBM, Front 242 and Cabaret Voltaire feels! I dig it. It’s a toss up between the Original Version and the Telesketch Remix, depending on the situation. Gold!” Ilya Santana (Eskimo Recordings) – “The El Fulminador Remix is a nice track. Heavy!” Kosta (Vibe FM) – “Bombs Away! Super nice, will support.” Javier Busto (Logical Records) – “Awesome release. It’s not possible to choose just one track.” Dr. Best (Radio Z – Germany) – “Three nice versions of "Hypermanic" on this release. The El Fulminador Remix is my favorite.” Jon Fugler (XLNT Radio Show) – “Loving all three of the mixes. This is very much what I am playing at the moment. Fine work Mr. Mega, many thanks!”
