The Requesters are no strangers to these pages (you can find some previous tuneage here and here), but we’re yet to devote an entire post to them. Until now. Oh me, oh my.
The Requesters are two dudes named Alex and Uri from down Barcelona way (well, at least they studied there), who have recently taken to putting out the occasional disco-electro-italo-trance-techno fusion number. Of course. They’re looking to bang out an LP towards the end of the year, but for the moment we have for your perusal one of the tracks from the album, ‘Warriors of Steel’. It’s like the partied up soundtrack to every bad 80’s teen horror film you never watched. And when it drops, it drops like a mofo. Too awesome
The Requesters - Warriors of Steel
Also really digging on ‘Tiumfalizm’, a brilliant exercise in housed-up disco strings, and a tune that I think must have the most audacious breakdown in recent history. Check it out
I’m also throwing in their self-proclaimed ‘hard to find’, yet still blogged about remix of Mendetz’s tune ‘The Boola’, because it deserves to see more of the light of day. Awesomely frenetic italo-style arpeggios over a pumping bass line, with cool little vocal stabs to further spice up the brew. It gets 9 thumbs up.
Mendetz - The Boola (The Requesters Hard to Find Remix)
So yeah, get your download on and start getting into one of the more criminally under-acclaimed artists of the blog haus boom. It’s different, it’s charging and it’s Spanish. What more could you want?

This is unbelievably fucking rad. Diggin’ that Darcula X Turbograffix sample on Warriors. We played Mendetz out the other night, went down a treat.
Tiumfalizm is so good that I can barely type, holy hell.
