  • Tracks from Alex Under, Tadeo, and Hieroglyphic Being star on '1', the first compilation from Madrid label collective Net28. Net28 serves as the mothership to 12" outputs CMYK, Cyclical Tracks, Mupa and Apnea, labels run respectively by Spanish minimal techno artists Alex Under, Tadeo, Damian Schwartz, and Imek. While its first compilation is simply titled '1', there's more to it than meets the eye. Each track on the compilation is a number: Alex Under offers up '-7' while From Karaoke to Stardom weigh in with '-3'. But do the math, and you’ll find that the whole equals the sum of its parts. The collective sum of the track names equals — you guessed it — twenty-eight. As you'd expect from the Spanish capital, '1' dishes up plenty of loop-based colourful and futuristic minimal techno. Wax collectors can pick up the compilation on three 12 inches, which will also feature additional cuts from Stare5 ('-1') and David Squillace ('-9'). Tracklist CD 01. From Karaoke to Stardom -3 02.
