Makina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mákina, Bakalao, and Poky are electronic music genres originated in Spain, similar in sound to UK Hardcore, but with certain elements of bouncy techno among and other differences.
The spanish electro sound is usually characterized by its synthesized pads and has a weaker yet higher pitch, a punchier kick drum than the similar UK produced tracks. This style of electronic music is produced mainly in two areas in Spain, called poky in the central plateau of Spain, and bakalao and makina in the Mediterranean shoreline, Catalonia and the Valencian region.
Bakalao music and Makina, are quite complex in sound and composition, and boast more agude tones. It also has traditionally more elements "imported" from other kinds of techno, due to the proximity of Ibiza, (Balearic Islands, Spain). Its commonly accepted[who?] that Bakalao was born in Valencia in the 80's, and since then has spread all over Spain, evolving in the Makina subgenre and Poky.[citation needed]
Makina is also popular in North-East England, since clubs and events such as After Dark 2, The New Monkey, Hangar 13, ThePowerhouse, TheBeginning and TheAsylum promoted the style.
