From his debut with Diynamic in 2009 to remixing one of his main influences, Laurent Garnier, in 2015,
UNER has been living the most exciting time of his life to date. After
spending his entire life dedicated to music, the reward has come in the form of success with audiences and critics, performances around the world, and his music being released by the best electronic music labels;
regularly with labels such as Culprit, Saved, Cocoon, Visionquest, and Diynamic, the label on which he released his debut album, “432,” in 2014, in which he showcased his most personal vision as a house and techno lover, as well as melodies and vocal harmonies—a work that demonstrated the maturity and inspired state of this DJ and producer. Looking back, we can see that each year for UNER is better than the last;
in 2012 he was one of the most relevant artists on Resident Advisor's annual charts,
in 2013 he was awarded
best newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, and
in 2014 maturity arrived with
his debut album. The year
2015 marked a turning point with performances in
live format, and
2016 brought a time of new musical explorations. Every milestone achieved is celebrated and valued, but UNER's ambition turns that milestone into a starting point for reaching the next step.
The results are plain to see, both in Ibiza, where
he has become one of the main artists for Ants, every summer Saturday at Ushuaia or at Carl Cox The Revolution (Space), a party he has returned to for the sixth consecutive year in 2016, performing in his final year at Space, as well as
in the rest of Europe and in America, where he tours through the north and south of the continent
continuously. UNER unleashes his true potential in his performances.
His DJ sets are powerful, full of energy and personality, and focused on the dance floor.
His setup, constantly evolving,
combines four decks, analog FXs, touch controllers, or any element that adds creativity to his sets. In his drive to go further,
UNER has developed a live performance concept with piano, synthesizers, drums, and guitar, in which, together with two musicians,
he explores the boundaries of dance electronics and takes his music into pop and rock territory.
