It's an offensive move used in professional wrestling to lift and whip the opponent with forcefulness.
Abolipop created this project in 2009 to continue releasing stuff despite the sudden changes in the music market (even independent), we love the culture at large, as consumers and producers, and we're open to new platforms and formats. Suplex publishes EPs, unreleased tracks, live sessions, oddities from Abolipop's artists and guests, and some reissues of our first records.
The format can be mp3 or collectible editions on CD, CD-R, cassette or vinyl, as well as books, videos and other kind of works and projects.
Snitch is mysterious, plays with forms and figures, shapes emotions, and recreates imaginary scenes. Five chapters ratifying the desire of not being oppressed, the desperate shout to getting out of submission. Spinning round with no particular course, wraps do not hinder, but… call it IDM, Dubstep, Electronic, it doesn’t matter, just listen bias free.
Through the mist and fantasy - and a very long road between them - Mondragón has consolidated a strong discography, plunging as few projects in an amalgam that combines influences from ambient, dream pop, techno and electronic indie. This new E.P. is not only the prelude to its first album, is an invitation to wander, suspend if possible, to be given to each "pore" of sonority; Mondragón knows how to do it and this is its proposal.
Originally released in 2003, this compilation was the beginning of the label and collective Abolipop. Includes tracks from Super 8, Carrie, Satélite Saturno, Nebula 3, Miyagi, Lumen lab, Destreza, Transistor and Cardex. From click-techno to different sounds influenced by IDM, shoegaze and indietronic. A solid document of those times we strove for a post-everything attitude.
The narrative of this work contains no major surprises; in any case it is an invitation to be suspended in time and perhaps, if we turn up the volume, bodily. “Fábulas en cámara lenta” has the necessary sounds, well dosed environmental masses, and the needed contrasts, enough to be an extremely rich electronic composition. Lovers of ambient music, drone and esoteric soundscapes, will find in this first work of Emmanuel Galvan a great start. Just play & loop.
Wilfrido Terrazas, a key element of experimental music and improvisation in Mexico, has collaborated closely in the last years with the sound artist Yair Lopez. "Escudo(torre)" is the result of an ongoing dialogue that triggers experiences as this session, recorded live in Guadalajara during 2014, from which we can appreciate the results not only in the structure and overall narrative of the work but in each gesture and the relation between the sounds.
Mondragón is one of the protagonist of a new electronic music scene in Mexico. His sound is an exquisite journey between ambient, dream rock and even house music, putting a constant melancholic touch.

In Mexico, the seemingly simple act of making experimental music carries a significant political weight, having a strong media and government influence towards a popular culture that aims community lobotomy.

After almost ten years traveling through different explorative territories of electronic music and introspective pop, with an appreciable aural creativity and diversity, Vicente García Landa, also known by his project One Second Bridge, presents this collection of b-sides, demos, alternate versions and remixes, both from Fonogram and for Fonogram, including Antiguo Autómata Mexicano, among other artists.
Memoria y recuerdo is an interdisciplinary project of literary, visual and musical explorations (through the use of strings, piano, field recordings and computer), suggesting a nonlinear review of each of these elements, including the reproduction of the sound pieces that comprise it. Adán Madrigal is a young composer who has to be kept in mind; his processes and works require time, because he does not operate within the hyper-vibrant character, and therefore ephemeral, of nowadays.
Amnesia is an audiovisual work which explores abandoned sites and their sounds generated on the imaginary. Amnesia emerges from improvisation, photography and the theatricality of a guitar along with electronic sounds and field recordings.
Charles Modulation is a "old-fashioned" young: produces music with absolute calm, ignores or unknown trends that mark the media and social networks to date; his inspirations are long walks, listening and watching with complete deliberation; he privilege the dialogue beyond the computer and, of course, its proposal represents all this. Few young composers produce their music with such elegance and ”air" between sounds, with acuteness into his narrative; as well to combine with greatness electronic media, flute, guitar and drums.
Input Mod Fx's second work released by Suplex: a satisfactory continuation of the journey started with "Lucky book", taking us directly to the auditory and sensory pleasures of intelligent dance music from the late nineties and, without much pretension, to celebrate and share sounds that inspired us as lovers of abstract electronica.
