For our 52nd Blank Code podcast, we are excited to give you an exclusive live mix by Spanish artists Exium. Their music and sets have undergone constant evolution. From an outset marked by hard, rough and minimalist sounds, now they aim towards downtempo, minimal, detroit or electro, a shift which has taken them to pursuing solo projects which allow them to give free rein to all their influences. In this facet, their work is signed with the aliases Lasik (Valentín Corujo) and Komatsu or Metazoo (Héctor Sandoval).
As producers you can find Exium’s work released on labels such as Nheoma, Labrynth, Tsunami Records, PoleGroup, Planet Rhythm, Audiotools and more. You can keep up with Exium’s releases on Beatport, but for now enjoy this set!
