Double LP version. Housed in a gatefold sleeve.. On the back of an exciting debut album in 2012 that saw him perform live at Sónar Festival and later with his band at Vienna's Volkstheatre, before disseminating music on Permanent Vacation, Suol and Connaisseur Recordings, enigmatic Basque country producer El_Txef_A returns with his sophomore album We Walked Home Together. El_Txef_A (pronounced "Elchefa") has crafted a work that just like its journey-conjuring title, charts a shifting palette of sounds and moods, exemplifying its creator Aitor Etxebarria's breadth of skill. Produced entirely in Aitor's homeland of the mountainous Basque Country, the album showcases the talents of not just its creator who producers, sings and plays piano on the record, but also some of the Spanish region's most outstanding musicians. Local artist Biskonti is one contributor, whose vocals coat a brooding bed of rough-cut drums on the ice-cold slice of electronica "I'm Going to Paint You," while Hannot lends his pipes to the moving "You Left Us in This Physical World" that sweep over a delicately-crafted brew of guitars and keys. The sublime title-track turns into a family affair, with Aitor's brother Hibai playing the grand piano. A graduate of 2013's Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid, El_Txef_A has an impressive array of sonic strings to his bow and the Detroit techno-inspired "Claim of Planet Earth" deliciously rubs shoulders with the album's single, the alternative slice of pop "The Love We Lost," featuring Woolfy. Elsewhere, Aitor paints a dream-like soundscape with the sublime shoegaze-inspired trip "0730," that seamlessly bleeds into "Every Day Is Blue Monday," with its atmosphere-heavy swirl of subtle acid lines, floating synths and evocative vocals delivered by Suol Records contributor Meggy. An artist whose music is inextricably connected with his homeland, the album concludes with the stirring "Mugarrirantz," sung in the native tongue of Euskera by country folk band Napora Iria. It's proof that El_Txef_A is equally adept at doffing his cap to tradition as moving a dancefloor with his inspired brand of electronica.

Now is the time for Aitor Etxebarria, better known as El_Txef_A, to expose his innermost feelings, as he's already begun to on releases for labels like Hypercolour, Suol and Wazi Wazi. This time, he is undoubtedly in his best form. Aitor, born and raised in Basque Country, is in that group of artists sparingly measuring their output, always searching for the new, aiming for high quality instead of constant, monotonous releases. After years of dedicated work, El_Txef_A announces his debut album Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. El_Txef_A stands for a specific and complex sound signature. His primary concern is to develop a sound that people can identify with as well as just simply enjoy freely. Continuing in the Bilbao tradition, he builds a base of pure sampled sounds with studio sessions, live musicians and vocals to complement his production. Collaborations with vocalist Bisconti and Hannot supply added depth to tracks like "Rise And Fall" and previous single "Lovely Minds" and "Save The World." A true milestone in this young Basque artist's career, Fiakun is proud to present the fruits of his labors, Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.
