Ciudad Futura

Factor City kicks off its third decade in full swing, led by Undo solo and accompanied by its usual partners Casiowaves and Vicknoise. It all began in 2003 when Undo & Vicknoise laid the foundation for the label with ‘Noctámbula,’ and over the years, they continued to collaborate closely, managing the label and producing ‘hits’ such as ‘Orca’ or ‘Happy Monday.’ Now, in 2024, in a ‘digital world where fewer and fewer things can be touched with our fingers and where 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day, Factor City is charting a different course and starts a new decade by returning to vinyl releases. “Ciudad Futura” opens with ‘Good Times,’ a track by Undo that radiates joy and positivity. An euphoric ride through landscapes of analog synthesizers and drum machines. The B side is signed by the recent combo of Undo and Casiowaves. The first track, ‘Secret Worlds,’ follows in the wake of their recent releases on Factor City and Melodize with that winning combination of retro 80s and 90s synths with vocoders and a more contemporary production. Closing out the record is ‘Astralia,’ a vibrant ‘power synth pop’ anthem adorned with FM synths and acid-tinged melodies. Thanks for listening.
