about

PRADO is the project of producer Nicolás Prado. “Machines” is the name of his new EP, which follows two previous EPs, “Distorted Reality” and “Stuck in Space”, released in 2021 under the name Blxzey.

PRADO represents an evolution in the work of this young musician born in London, but living in Peru from a young age. Son of jazz guitarist Andrés Prado and singer-songwriter Paloma La Hoz, Nicolás Prado has trained as a guitarist, and has travelled through genres such as rock and jazz, but it has been in electronic music where he has unfolded a personal universe.

With “Machines”, he synthesizes elements of drum & bass, breakcore, IDM, video game music, etc., all those genres that, reborn and transformed in the hands of new generations, have been grouped under the name of webcore. But, although the referents seem familiar, PRADO is really moving in undefined terrain, pushing his creativity towards experimentation. The viscerality of his tracks is proportional to his careful organization of sounds.

In “Machines”, the accelerated rhythms of breakcore coexist with heavy dubstep bass playing and unintelligible samples. The themes are short, but they settle quickly in memory. The titles refer to the viral imaginary, the hacking of machines, and the disease of technology. A soundtrack for a collapsing world on the other side of the screen.

“Machines” will be out on November 25 via Buh Records. It will be available on all digital platforms and in a limited edition on cassette. On the occasion of the launching, the video clip of the song "Chemical Waste", directed by Nicolás Prado, is also released.

PRADO es el proyecto del productor Nicolás Prado. “Machines” es el nombre de su nuevo EP, que le sigue a dos EPs previos, “Distorted Reality” y “Stuck in Space”, aparecidos en el 2021 bajo el nombre de Blxzey.

PRADO representa una evolución en el trabajo del joven músico nacido en Londres, pero radicado en Perú desde corta edad. Hijo del guitarrista de jazz Andrés Prado y de la cantante y compositora Paloma La Hoz, Nicolás Prado se ha formado como guitarrista, y ha transitado por géneros como el rock y el jazz, pero ha sido en la música electrónica donde ha desarrollado un universo personal.

Con “Machines”, sintetiza elementos del drum & bass, el breakcore, el IDM, las músicas de videojuegos, etc, todos esos géneros que, renacidos y transformados en manos de nuevas generaciones, han sido agrupados bajo el nombre de webcore. Pero, aunque los referentes parezcan familiares, en realidad PRADO está moviéndose en un terreno indefinido, empujando su creatividad hacia caminos de experimentación. La visceralidad de sus tracks es proporcional a su esmerada organización de sonidos.

En “Machines”, los ritmos acelerados del breakcore conviven con pesados bajos de dubstep y sampleos ininteligibles. Los temas son breves, pero se instalan rápidamente en la memoria. Los títulos remiten al imaginario viral, el hackeo de las máquinas, a la enfermedad de la tecnología. Un soundtrack para un mundo en colapso del otro lado de la pantalla.

“Machines” se publica el 25 de noviembre vía Buh Records. Estará disponible en todas las plataformas digitales y en una limitada edición en casete. Con motivo del lanzamiento se estrena también el videoclip de la canción “Chemical Waste”, realizado por Nicolás Prado.
