Alpha S, current alias of Baltazar Solar, inaugurates a new series of eps focused on the rhythm called Surakismos, starting with this first installment where he enters deep into the territorial developments of dancing.

With unorthodox methods such as broken and constantly changing rhythms, or lots of destroyed and reconfigured samples, Solar is explaining in his thesis of "precariousness as a resource". In Alpha S's own words "now, from the Southern territory, We have re-built and re-discovered a place to rhythms and melodies translate personal and collective history into moments on the dance floor. Rhythm and sound tensions that aim to facilitate an encounter with the corporal and the movement from a freedom and openness that allows not only to fall into the loop and trance, but also to recognize there an origin and original way and form of what we inhabit as territory, from and in the territory itself ”.

As a chair where students sit down to learn, but it becomes a symbol of the demands of equality in the strikes of Santiago's students, Surakismos exemplifies a south in constant precariousness and victim of the new forms of global control, but facing the struggles, both personal and social, with creativity and energy questioning “what I understand of my own territory, due the imposition the foreign vision of the local versus the local vision of the local. We are forced, consciously or unconsciously, to define ourselves from the hegemonic gaze of ourselves. The proposal is to look at ourselves from our place and define ourselves, without ignoring foreign influences, but considering them as such, influences and not direct references or foundational pillars”.

As a virus that infects the most traditional rhythms of electronic music, this 5-track production centers its discourse on the mutant dembow taking over of house or bass structures, achieving direct and violent artifacts of futuristic latin club music. One of the highlights is the collaboration of Alpha S are his colleagues Vandal Boogie, (where Solar acts as a dj) making an afrotrap time bomb where the unprejudiced lyrics of the Ortega brothers moves with total ease.

Surakismos kicks off so that Alpha S continues to explore that personal way of making electronic music with an urban and southern filter, with cold and heat in equal parts.
