Xenia Rubinos
Music maker Xenia Rubinos uses her powerful voice to create beats and melodies from scratch. Xenia’s sound grows from a wide range of influences from Caribbean rhythms and beat music to minimalism and indie rock all delivered with a soulful punk aura. Her debut record, Magic Trix, is an ecstatic collection of songs featuring layered beats, crunchy keyboards, and driving syncopated rhythms. Audiences and critics alike have lauded her rafter-shaking live show, describing the songstress as “redefining exuberance”.She has toured Europe and the US nationally. You can also find most of her past shows and albums. Xenia Rubinos was also a part of the National Honesty Index.
Rubio
RUBIO is the artistic experiment and personal project of the renowned Chilean drummer, producer and front-woman Francisca Straube , which was born in early 2015 and mixes electronic, pop, hip-hop, ambient and elements of ethnic music.
Although Fran is recognized for having participated in and developed various renowned musical projects in the Chilean and Latin American music scene, RUBIO differs from her previous projects by being a space where she finds for the first time the possibility of developing her originality, authenticity and talent without limits and in a more intimate and personal way. In 2016 she released a self-titled EP of five tracks, during 2017 and 2018 she proposed to share a continuous series of five double singles, produced in conjunction with Pablo Stipicic, as a diary. " R ", " U ", “ B ”, “ I ”, “ O ” were the deliveries released during the process, which also highlights a ten-minute short film for the songs contained in " R ". In August 2018 she released the single "La llamada" in collaboration with Gianluca, which also had the first vertical video made in Chile promoted through Spotify. The song is the first preview of “ PEZ ”, RUBIO ’s debut album with a release date of October 2018.
A nomination as 2017's breakthrough artist for the Pulsar Awards , interviews and featured sessions in international media and radio stations such as BEATS-1 and KEXP , and performances at festivals such as Lollapalooza (Chile), Primavera Sound (Barcelona) and Ruido Fest (Chicago) stand out as RUBIO 's main milestones prior to the release of his first full-length album.
