Juan Manuel Freire
(journalist from Barcelona)

1. please introduce yourslf

Music and cinema journalist from Barcelona.
Going deaf and blind for a living.

2. what do you think about your domestic electronic music scene?

Still not developed.
There are some impressive labels (Foehn, Cosmos or Spa.RK), but there is not too much audience in Spain for dance and electronic music with a little brains.

3. what do you think about european electronic music scene?

The truth is that Europe is producing many music at the moment and the medium quality is superb.
There is Mego, and Touch, and Morr, of course... Loads of fine labels and artists, too much to know and to hear them all - you'd need to clone yourself. Two and eighteen times.


4. what do you think about north ameriacn electronic music scene?

The truth is that US is producing many music at the moment and the medium quality is superb.
There is Carpark, and Tigerbeat6, and Hefty, of course... Loads of fine labels and artists, too much to know and to hear them all - you'd need to clone yourself.
Two and thirty six times.

5. do you know the japanese electronic music scene? and are you interested in it?

I know this scene and, yes, I'm interested in it.
My fave japanese artists in this moment are Tujiko Noriko and Yoshihiro Hanno (no kidding!).

　
6. what do you think about the future of electronic music environment/scene?

What can I think? Only good things - hope, brightness, infinite emotion.

　
7. do you have any interests in current music scene?

Erm... Do you mean "work interests"? Since I discovered music journalism is the less economically worthy job of the humanity, not much.

　
8. if you have something to add, feel free.

Take care of your loved ones.
