Architectural
Architectural’s original foundations were anonymous, with no need to reveal who was behind the alias. But the same man who took DJ booths and festivals by storm as Reeko needed a new alter ego to channel his effervescent spells of creativity.
Diving into another realm, Architectural delivers powerful, intelligent sounds that amalgamate classic influences with his own modern take on techno. A path that has taken the Asturian creator down a very different artistic path to the one he initially embarked on.
Architectural laid the foundations with several solid releases to date, among which we could highlight his repeated stints on the renowned and well-known R&S label, debuting in 2020 with his ep entitled ‘Planet is but a dream’, which boasts a space funk sound with techno overtones. Three years later he released ‘Clothed in Light’ where this time he explores drum n' bass rhythms with a clear sentimental undertone. We could also highlight his four releases on Non series, Ellum or Semantica.
With the project defined and matured, Juan eventually revealed himself as the force behind both Reeko and Architectural. Does this mean he's not quite sure what he wants to create? Does he suffer from bipolarity? Perhaps, instead, he is the kind of artist who during the Renaissance would have been called a total artist, a true creator, a master in the broadest sense of the word.
Alongside his concrete releases, Architectural's concept has also made its way into iconic clubs and festivals around the world. Dancers and music lovers at Printworks, MMA, Bassiani, Tresor, Robert Johnson, Awakenings, Audio River or Lev Festival have had the opportunity to absorb his creativity and vision on a new level. As the lines and framework of Architectural's concept continue to rise and take shape, the landscape of Juan's techno vision becomes an ever more defined sound world in which to immerse the mind and soul.
