Urpa i musell (Snout and claw in Catalan) is a record label that was conceived almost unconsciously throughout years of long lunchtime conversations at Discos Paradiso, a record store in Barcelona. We simply want music that we love to be made available to everyone. We hope you all enjoy the results of our efforts as much as we enjoy the process of releasing the music. We begin our journey with the reissue of El sueño de Hyparco’s Ambientes hormonales, originally released in 1990 under the Spanish label Hyades Arts. Drawing on the Berlin School, particularly Klaus Schulze and his Tangerine Dream, as a main musical reference, and having emerged from the exciting cassette movement, Ambientes hormonales represents the mysterious missing link between the 80s New Music movement in Madrid and the beginnings in the 90s of contemporary Electronic music in Spain.
