German label Bureau B will release on January 10 the reissue of "Cités Analogues", an album of experimental electronica recorded in 1988 by the French duo Lightwave. With influences from the Berlin school, Brian Eno's ambient and the particular French style of electroacoustic experimentation, this long-awaited reissue documents a very important stage in Lightwave's career.

"The City in Rain" is a magnificent electronic and ambient work produced by Subaeris, an alternative alias of David Russo, better known as HKE and founder of the Dream Catalogue label. During the recording of this episode we received the terrible news of the catastrophe caused by the floods in Valencia.

In 2018, chris+++, a musician, producer and owner of the Business Casual label, released this album in which he portrays how 9/11 affected the US. The work is divided into three parts: the day of the attack, the aftermath, and how we are going to tell future generations what happened that day. The cover is an illustration taken from the webcomic Sonichu, by Christine W. Chandler. Self-identified as a trans woman, Christine has been a constant target of doxing and harassment online, and her case has been covered in books and academic articles analyzing toxic Internet culture.

We celebrate 100 episodes. A special program where we compile the most representative of many of the new sound territories that we have been describing and documenting throughout these two years of El Club Lento. Thank you for belonging to the club.

Second part of this special about the Holy Week.

Robbing a savings bank with a beret and scarf: this classic of criminal cinema directed by Francisco Pérez Dolz in 1963 invites us to enter the atmosphere of the noirish Barcelona, its port areas and its decadent corners. In them, music such as that of Martínez Tudó resonates, whose compositions are the protagonists in this masterful film.

In this travel, we begin in Cadiz with Adela La Chaqueta, then we travel to the planet David Bowie, we celebrate the Nobel Prize of our admired Anni Ernaux. And here are also news such as the latest from Julieta Venegas and Tamino.

In this case, music as the word are inseparable elements since the word of God and that of his servants continue to be music for ears clean of all prejudice.

Given the death of the philosopher and writer Antonio Escohotado, we continue to think about his legacy in relation to drugs. A program that, based on texts, reflections and some audios of public interventions by the writer, we will draw a map of music that has been able to represent, in a certain way, his claims during his intense work of dissemination and knowledge of substances known as drugs. From there, the memory and recognition of one of the beings who has most opened the minds of future youth and who has done the most to uphold the need for individual freedom. Go in honor of his legacy and his tireless work.

What good is technology if we are not able to free ourselves from stress and urgency in our daily lives? Faced with the rush and noisy exhibitionism, at El Club Lento we defend a slow, serene lifestyle, which, by the way, is much more elegant than the fast one.

The queer, an umbrella term that encompasses the innumerable terminological and experimental world that the genre, its philosophies and its policies await us.

It is a journey to different and unexpected places related to art, creation, life, love, experimentation, research and dialogue between different disciplines. On this journey, music is the common thread, the meaning and the engine of this adventure where everything is possible.

The turning point that unites everything on this route will be La Perla de Cádiz.

We develop a program in which links are established beyond the musical from Valencia with the Moors and Christians festival, the Misteri d'Elx or the electronic music of the Bakalao route, among others.

The algorithm is based on gigantic databases that tell us what things happen, but humans have always wanted to know not how they happen, but why they happen. Letting ourselves be governed by Big Data and AI carries the risk of becoming a rootless society without emotional ties. Club Lento is a program made and coordinated by people for people. Here, the algorithm doesn't matter.

Today we chat with Migue Monfort, specialist in data analysis, visualization and journalism, responsible for the datak.io website, which includes an exhaustive project to interactively analyze and visualize countless data on vaporwave.
