Game Over in the Industries

Hey, this is Alta Tension!, and we're a band living in a small town in the Spanish Pyrenees, although our origins are rather varied - one of our singers is Dominican, the other Colombian, and I, their dj, am English. Our style combines latin hip-hop/R&B in Spanish or Spanglish with some reggaeton and the occasional Techno-Trance song.

Ke pasa gente! Esto es Alta Tension!, un grupo nacido en Tremp, un pueblo del pirineo catalan. Dominicanos, colombianos y ingleses juntan sus estilos para traerte una combinacion de hip-hop y R&B latino con algun reggaeton y algo de Techno..

We don't really have much of a history, except that we (the components) have been good friends for a long while. We formed this group at the beginning of last year. We spent the first six months of the year in overdrive production.. then they decide they didn't want to do it anymore (see above)

No tenemos mucha historia, excepto que los componentes hemos sido buenos amigos durante mucho tiempo. Formamos el grupo al inicio del anyo pasado. Producimos una sorpendente cantidad de musica en unos seis meses.. luego al comenzar el verano decidimos dejarlo estar un tiempo.

Alta Tension have done two live performances as far as I'm aware, both a great success, although I'm afraid I was absent from the first and in the audience of the second since .. here goes .. Alta Tension split up at the beggining of summer last year. Or rather, they ditched me. I think they got fed up with my temper in the mornings, I'm afraid to say. I couldn't bring myself to publish this until now.. Still, we're good friends, and I have contacted them so as to get the latest on their musical exploits. You can expect news in the near future! I will keep this page updated from now on as to what they're doing.. And we're now selling mp3 downloads of our old songs!

Alta Tension ha tenido dos bolos en directo por el momento. Por motivos personales yo, el DJ, no pude ir a estos mismos, pero me han informado de su exito posteriormente.

Nuestras influencias son muchas, peor aqui hay algunas de ellas..:

New-school and old-school US and latin Hip Hop and Hip-Hop in Spanish, modern reggaeton artists a lot, like tego calderon, don omar, looney tunes, hector y tito, etc. Also good old Factoria, of course. + Los de abajo, yerba buena, manu chao, orishas, etc, shaggy, sean paul, rahzel redman & methodman, Hood, Angie Stone, Snoop Dogg, usher, Tupac, 50 Cent, DMX, Cypress Hill, south park mexican, big brovaz, the roots, on occasion eminem and even craig david, bom marley and toots & the maytals!

At the moment, merely my computer, appropiate software, keyboard and sound card, but i'm in the process of bying a turntable.

Producimos el album con un ordenador Macintosh G4 y una targeta de sonido y con los programas Garageband 1 y 2 y otro software similar.
