Infiné, easy music for the hard to please

Just after Francesco Tristano and Danton Eeprom, Cubenx aka Cesar Urbina was the third artist signed to InFiné. While the label was still at the pre-planning stage, InFiné´s A&R´s met Static Discos Boss in Paris, swapped demos and fell in love of the emotional Techno of “Glandula” and “Repeat”. Excelling in sound design, Cubenx built himself a solid reputation of cutting edge Techno producer with “Can’t throw a Stone” as well as experimental beat-wiser (check the “Cold Swell” compilation on Static Discos). At that point, we were all expecting the album to come soon.

But Cesar needed a “wake up” call. Flying back from Europe after few months spent between in Belgium, Berlin and Paris with a broken heart, His I-pod set in shuffle mode start playing a song of Scott Walker.

The lyrics stroke deep and Cesar decided to move to Guadalajara, to find a new job and to start recording his debut album not so surprisingly entitled “On Your Own Again”.

Far from the dance-floor mechanism, this first album pays a tribute to the music which moved his heart at a younger age, permeated the dark beauty of 4AD´s and the British post-punk´s heyday.

Cubenx will be presenting his album live with Alfredo Noguiera (Telefon Tel Aviv, L´Altra) in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Toulouse in December. “On your Own Again” will be in store from 14th November (CD/LP/MP3).
