On Thursday the 14th of August at A Coruña the official presentation of the spanish Rawmatroid netlabel took place. With 5 releases already published in the last 5 months, their members wanted to present in public both, the published and the ones that will appear in the coming months in the netlabel catalogue. The chosen artists for this event were Kebiin, Frances Lerouge, James McConaghew and Pablo Honey, the three producers and the cover designer that participated in the second reference of Rawmatroid Club (”El niño” by Frances Lerouge). Each of them did an individual set.
Republica Sonora was responsable for the organization of the event. Well-known to bring to A Coruña djs and producers like Alexander Kowalski, Mike Shannon, Tadeo or Expander, they located the three members of Rawmatroid at the new Sala Fox, a club that represents electronic music in the Galician city.
James McConaghew was chosen to begin the party. Faithful to the predominantly melodic style that characterizes his productions, he offered a progressive-house set based on netlabels references, mixed up with live improvisations of rythmical effects and loops. One of the main tunes of James’s set was “El mejunje de la vida”, the newest tune by Boris Balkan, that will be released in september on Rawmatroid Club.
As James’s session went by its style was filled with more electronic sounds. He was preparing the crowd for the battery of rigid and forceful sounds that Kebiin kept in its laptop. At 3:30 am the last track from James was fused with the intro that Kebiin had arranged to initiate his live. The next hour was a constant succession of defined basses, powerful bases and rhythmic synths. Whether by the quality of its sound or by the production of its tunes, people enjoyed the dose of quality techno-minimal.
Exactly 60 minutes after Kebiin appeared at the decks, Frances Lerouge started his dj set. This last set was the perfect complement to the night that Rawmatroid had arranged, because it knew to combine the new tracks of Rawmatroid with other tunes known by the crowd. Among the pertaining ones to Rawmatroid catalogue it is possible to highlight “Irascible” by James McConaghew (rwclub001) or the advance of some of the tracks than will be in his next ep “Glisandos, letras e arranxos” and “Estar en casa”.

His set, dynamic and emotive, was gaining power with the course of the hours. I was near 7 am and the crowd that filled the club, was thankful to the 4 Rawmatroid artists because of the delivery and good “feeling” that had impregnated the atmosphere during the night.
Pablo Honey was the video jockey in charge of the visual part, developing a very personal and elaborated video live that contributed adding colorful and dynamism to the event.
The result; Rawmatroid already has in mind a new celebration although without a defined location.
