⚠️ Unrest - Flashback ⚠️
-----------------------------------
Javier Custardoy, also known as Franki (Unrest), is a DJ, producer, and mixing engineer. He established his own recording studio, "La Banana," in 2019. His journey in music production began in 2008, delving into hip hop and releasing his own tracks, while also active as an MC since 2005. By 2010, he fell in love with rave culture and DJing, venturing into Ableton to craft breaks following a DnB party experience. Later, in 2018, he joined the national Drum and Bass collective, Fokin Massive, sharing stages with renowned artists and performing at prominent festivals like Monegros Desert Festival.
There's always a reference point when starting a track, but this time felt different for Unrest. Aware that he sought a contemporary sound without fully diving into current roller or jump-up trends, he aimed for a contrast between a relatively simple and light drum pattern, except for the kick, and a bassline filled with weight, distortion, and melody. In the final moments of the first session, as the drop was nearly defined, he added vocals, and thus the track emerged. From then on, his connection with hip hop culture inspired the creation of an intro and interlude, featuring a simple yet effective piano, paying homage to the French sound of the '90s, an influence that captivated him since childhood.
