German Ormaechea is a Spanish-born and-based musician, electronic music producer, remixer and DJ, best known as DJ Moderno. As a musician, the Spanish artist has played at a number of clubs and festivals. He has also spent several years releasing remixes of a number of indie bands.
Back in 2020, the Spanish artist began to produce and release material as a DJ Moderno, starting with a batch of critically applauded singles between October 2020 and October 2021. Since then, his material has landed on the indie charts of TIDAL, Deezer, and Apple Music in Spain while receiving airplay on Spain’s Radio 3.
The Spanish artist created a live band to play the material live. The band features DJ Moderno (vocals, synths and bass), Alpha Circle‘s Alberto “Berty” Garcia (guitar, synths) and Isabel Borbolla, a.k.a. Isa Atòmica (vocals). Live, the trio have toured across Spain, playing in venues and festivals like Cadavra, Sirocco, Acalá Suena, Barbeira Fest, Primera Fila Fest, Backstage, WegowLive and a lengthy list of others.
“Esa Habitación,” was released earlier this year, and it’s a club friendly banger built around techno and house beats, enormous hooks and glistening synth oscillations paired with shimmering guitars from Garcia, backing vocals from Isa Atòmica, and DJ Moderno’s dreamy delivery. While sonically sounding like a synthesis of From Here to Eternity-era Giorgio Moroder and New Order, “Esa Habitación” describes a traumatic hospital room experience that’s rooted in lived-in horror.
