SUPERFERRIC SHORT BIO

Superferric is the name of the project behind wich we find the argentinian Fernando Amaya and the catalan Xavi Altés.

Only a few months after they met in Barcelona they already had elaborated a solid, forceful live act composed by deep techno and house sounds with some strong basslines with progressive cadence. After some gigs, they were very well received by the audience, colleagues and critics.

Six months after their first release on Inout Records (Gin Toxic EP, March '09), Resopal Schallware released their second work (Hauptrolle EP, September '09). Since then, they have remixed artists like Liquid Agents and Dave Tarrida on Inout Records, and Javi Lago on Sintetics Records, and their second release on Resopal Schallware (Egodrine EP, March 2010) confirmed their upgrading.
