Electrocugat  plays a

stylish electronic lounge with some touches of humour. Musically, the album is

based on bossa sounds and latin rithms like mambo and cha-cha-ch (that´s why

Cugat is part of the name of the band). All these sounds are mixed with

electronic basis and every kind of sampled effects.



The band was created in Barcelona in the 1999 by Arturo

C. Urbina

(composer and DJ) and Antuan Duanel (writer and guitar player). Arturo was the composer of

the songs and Antuan was the writer of the lyrics. At the 2000, they began to

record some tracks with the singer Paula Bances and the editor of their first

album, Visconti con hielo was So Dens Records, from Barcelona. This album were

licensed to Rambling records for their edition in Japan.



In 2001 So Dens published the EP Lounge Club Remixes, including remixes from the

album Visconti and some new tracks. One of the tracks of the remixes album, Bungaloo,was part of the soundtrack of the popular

TV-Catalunya program Afers exteriors.



After these, Arturo was working in different projects as

a composer (soundtrack of the original web page of Custo-Barcelona, soundtrack of the short film Custo.

The movie) and

as a DJ (DJ resident in La Paloma club from Barcelona).



Finally, in 2003, Arturo begins the composition of his

new album, Ladies cocktail. In this occassion, the lyrics are writen again by

Antuan Duanel, but there are some new collaborations: the singers Luciana

Lis (from

Brasil), Rina Ota

(from Tokio) and Dacil Lopez (from Barcelona) and the drummer Susana Pages (from Barcelona).



Rambling records from Japan has already get the license

of one of the tracks of the new album, Siempre soy muy cool in order to include it in the

compilation album Flying to the Cote DAzur.



LADIES COCKTAIL.



The new album from Electrocugat, Ladies cocktail, consists of

12 themes, coposed by Arturo C. Urbina, with lyrics writen by Antuan Duanel. The

band goes on with the style of its first album: lounge-pop ambient, references

to different ages and musical styles: from the 50s to Club, or from Mancini to

Dee Lite. The lyrics, this time all in spanish, put all these sounds together.  Almost every song describes a

cinematographic  character: the

eternal fellinian drunkenness in De fiesta en la bote, the snob and casual

journalist in Mrs. Brown or the little modern european girl, infatuated with a

cuban fellow in De Varadero (A tu llavero ).



The voices of the singers, with

its different registers and origins, round off this cocktail served by

Electrocugat.  Luciana Lis (from

Rio de Janeiro) the main voice of the album, gives the sonority and feeling of

brasilian performers. Rina Ota (from Tokio), who has colaborated before with

the band, brings the most naif register along two themes. And finally, Dcil

Lpez (from Barcelona), a consolidated soul singer who has reached her most

intim register in this album. As a counterpoint of these three singers, the

bice of Arturo takes the role played by Antuan in the first album.
