2017 release. Xinobi's 2017 album on Discotexas, On The Quiet, is an album rooted in the now. Danceable emo electronica, atmospheric house, ethereal techno, dark chill; there are many ways in which one could describe this music. More than anything, though, On The Quiet is a dance floor-focused story about the transition of many electronic musicians from punk rock and skateboarding into house music and about how dance music can be a space for social awareness. It's common knowledge that the second album from an artist is a most difficult task, but On The Quiet proves the exception. After countless successful singles and remixes, Xinobi found his own style on his debut album, 1975 (DT 044CD/LP, 2014) and now improves that style with this set of songs. On The Quiet is a reflection of the path that many contemporary electronic musicians have crossed, starting with punk and developing a musical diversity while keeping some of the DIY ethics associated with that music. Indeed, one could even say this a DIY record. Not only did Xinobi play and self-produce the album, but he is, along with Moullinex, one of the founders of Discotexas. That's not to say that Xinobi is the only voice on the album; friends were invited to sing on some tracks and Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi) makes an appearance in a nod to Xinobi's punk roots. The record also features artwork by Braulio Amado, extensive biographical writings, the lyrics, and interviews with Igor Cavalera (Sepultura, Mixhell) and David Andersson.
