Yet another artist among the handful of Iberoamericans who’ve found Germany as the adequate place to develop their music and find a receptive audience, Madrid-born LINCE has been working as a DJ in Berlin since 2009, while also making encompassing ambient and minimal techno. The video for the rework of his track "Sombras en mi corazón," a gorgeously crafted recollection of images edited by
Machines Désirantes Buró and taken from the film
The Endless Summer, uses the idea of moving water in the form of ocean waves as a consistent theme and aesthetic for his repetitive, vaguely melodious and lingering sounds. The association of moving water with music is one that can be easily found recently in popular music: on the more avant-garde end, there’s Fennesz framing his records around the element of water and, on the poppier end, there’s the origin of the term “chillwave.” Here, LINCE shows us just how well he excels not just in finding beautiful melodies, but also developing the perfect texture, something that will likely gain him followers from all musical backgrounds.
