Fax Top 10
FAX (Rubén Tamayo) has become one of México most respected electronic music producers since his first release in 2002 on Static Discos, the Mexican label he co-founded alongside MURCOF and Ejival. Rounding out a plethora of minimal techno releases FAX has also released music on the distinguished German labels Traum and Level. After a couple of understated ambient releases, FAX returns to the dancefloor, describing Zig Zag, his newest recording, as his definitive pop album. On ZIg Zag FAX shifts from melodic techno to shimmering electronic pop with vocals from Alex Ayuli (AR Kane), Valentina and Mariana Monjeau (Altocamet and Isla de los Estados). Zig Zag shows the diversity in FAX ‘s producing capabilities with a more luminous approach than his previous two albums, it is a return to danceable rhythms inspired in the latest trends in techno and subtle post-cosmic disco forms combined with dreamy guitar patterns and deep 4 x 4 pulses. It is possibly FAX’s most accessible album yet, while retaining the sleek sounds he has been known throughout his career.
