Sebastian Roya joins Absurd and to kick things off is a fresh new release from the Gran Canaria producer entitled the Mental ep.

2002 is a rhythmically shuffling trip which builds on a percussive and intricate start, sculpting nicely into a warm house groove.

Mollono.Bass turns in a groovy remix that stays true to the original, yet injects his unique ear for detail.

Mental is a dark techno infected track with a simple deep bass line and eerie vocal sample. Very raw with a great analogue feel.

Fabric’s Pure Science takes things in a more laid back groovy direction and adds a muted acid riff which makes for those perfect morning hours.

Mental…

We decided to take 3 minutes to ask Sebastian about his process and some insight on the Gran Canaria scene.

What got you into techno in the first place?

“Years ago when I was younger I was into progressive-house, before I knew it I was making techno”

How long have you been making music?

“9 Years now… the time passes very fast!”

Was there a specific influence for these songs in particular?

“I have always liked the progressive line and ethnic sounds… This mixture is Sebastian’s sound - Voodoo-Tech!!”

How is the scene in Gran Canaria?

“The scene on the island is getting better and better, and continues to grow.
There are many new clubs with great programing.”

Where can we find out more about your music and tour dates?

“You can visit myspace, there you will find my dates, music, pics etc”
