La Casa Encendida of Fundación Montemadrid was celebrating its twentieth anniversary in 2023. During these past two decades electronic music has occupied an essential part of a program that has recognized its importance and charted its changing face while offering a new and alternative take on the club scene. Festivals like Experimentaclub, Electrónica en Abril and La Terraza Magnética have represented a space for freedom and tolerance, using music as an accurate reflection of their time. In 2015, led by a team of women, La Casa Encendida launched She Makes Noise, the first-ever festival in Spain dedicated to supporting and publicizing the work of women and non-binary people in the fields of electronic music, sound experimentation and contemporary audiovisual creation. Year after year, the festival has promoted this hallmark with the firm commitment of showcasing the diversity of electronic production today and has taken bold strides to delve deeper into an increasingly fluid and cross-cutting SHE with artists from all over the world. On the label's tenth anniversary, La Casa Encendida released a vinyl for the Electrónica en Abril festival on which all the tracks were by male producers. Ten years later, LCE presents the vinyl for the She Makes Noise festival, a carefully compiled edition that provides the opportunity to highlight the profound transformation that society has undergone in the last decade and demonstrate the important role that small cultural projects like She Makes Noise are playing in this transformation by activating tangible changes in a sector like music where programming increasingly incorporates a more equitable awareness. Featuring Marina Herlop, Poison Arrow, Dis Fig, Okkre, Electric Indigo, Deena Abdelwahed, Slim Soledad, Nídia, and _deleteD.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Festival Electrónica en Abril, born in 2003 at La Casa Encendida, Madrid, La Casa Encendida has invited some of the artists that have left their personal mark on the event, right now the oldest music festival in Madrid. All of them have contributed exclusive tracks to this 2LP that provide an insight into the quality and diversity of the festival. These are ten exclusive tracks that research a very specific sound quality (Eleh, Radian, nsi.), take introspective journeys (Thomas Köner, Maja Ratkje) and summon deep rhythmic collisions (Farben aka Jan Jelinek, Dopplereffekt, Elektro Guzzi, Matmos, SND). All of them seem to share a desire for experimentation that encompasses the emotional as a response to a general state of things that hits us with an overdose of data and experimentation. Matmos' track was composed playing around with a friend's new synthesizer. Eleh added field recordings to his usual microscopic sound aesthetic for the first time. Thomas Köner composed this intimate and melancholic piece for his grandmother, and Maja Ratkje goes deep into an alien ambient lullaby of ravishing simplicity and beauty. Farben deconstructs rhythm to build it up again as a pure ecstatic house beat. Nsi., the project of Tobias Freund and Max Loderbauer embark on an abyssal expedition to the far reaches of sound. Dopplereffekt melt their retro-futurist electro into crystalline emotions. Elektro Guzzi, always recording live, without overdubs, was helped in the studio by Patrick Pulsinger, taking the bullet train directly to the heart of their amazing analog techno, where guitar, bass and drums truly count. And SND (Mark Fell and Matt Steel) ride on an oblique and funked-up carousel of their own making, where rhythm and math surf together. And finally, Farben goes deep into glorious house-not-house.
