Daniel Romero is an hyperactive musician based in Asturias, north of Spain, a land of rough ocean and green valleys. In a very short time he has molded a very personal discourse based on lo-fi, toy instruments and low budget electronic pop. With his project .TAPE., his collaboration with the label-colective Sinclair-rrr and his own label (Ambulatore) has established his name up front of a new generation of bedroom electronica musicians and his work receives admiration from Japan till Mexico.

FIBLA has released on much-respected label Sub Rosa / Quatermass (Belgium) and collaborated on other international labels such Expanding, Benbecula, Worm Interface (UK); Couchblip (Australia); Klangkrieg (Germany), Cosmos (Spain), etc. He’s also corunning spa.RK label based in Barcelona, where he released his second stroke “Lent” (2003). Chopped-up beats and opening textures, subtle rhythms patterns, filled with a taste for smooth arhythmic methodicity, lunars sounds and melodies, everything interweawed on a solid sound, deeply belonging to the nowadays diversified electronic scene. Even if Fibla's sound is close to the british or german electro scenes, there is something more, some little details that indicates that this guy is from a place where the sun never forgets to shine...more.
