Elegiac by Cubenx
Cubenx is the project name for the well-travelled (Berlin / Paris based Mexican) producer, Cesar Urbina. This is Cubenx’s second full-length LP of painterly ambient, deep electronics, abstract-pop forms and submerged techno. A diverse, international album – Urbina features four vocalists from four different countries ( Pris Wayland, Yasmin Hamdan, Cyane)
« Pushing a melodic, worldly, and totally unpredictable sound, Cubenx
consistently carves out engrossing cuts that suck you into his sonic world. » XLR8R (Usa)
« … the kind of super sad electronica that brings windswept club romantics like Lawrence, Agoria, and Michael Mayer to mind. » Thump (Uk)
Must-buy album 2015 – « an international journey through the vocal
contributions of guest singers who hail from Lebanon, France, Berlin, and beyond. » Big shots (Usa)
« Elegiac ist im Grunde genau das, was man von einem “zweiten Album” im besten Falle erwartet: ein konsequente Verlängerung des ersten, die aber an Reife und Detailreichtum gewachsen ist und dadurch neue Tore öffnet. » Groove (Ger)
« …von der physikalischen Wucht moderner Club-Avantgardisten
durchgeschüttelt. » Intro.de (Ger)
« Tief romantische Exzesse verweben mit krautigen Landstraßen, die teilweise auch unbefestigt wirken und strahlen. » Faze (9/10)
« Organique et sensuel » Tsugi (Fr)

Cesar Urbina leads a double life but with a single pseudonym: Cubenx.
From under his techno cape, he has produced a handful of releases that have enveloped dancefloors in luxuriant sound design and translucent kick drums. And yet, when he picks up his guitar his songs are inspired as much by English post-punk and shoegaze as shamanic cults.
