The city of Valencia will host this Thursday the premiere of the documentary Techno ’90, la historia del sonido de Valencia, a production that claims the cultural legacy of local electronic music.

The audiovisual piece, which has the participation of À Punt, focuses on the creative freedom movement that defined the sound of the Valencian capital during the eighties and nineties. The film analyzes how the incorporation of synthesizers and rhythmic bases allowed local creators to develop their own style that ended up becoming an international benchmark.
The documentary collects testimonies from relevant figures in the music scene, including DJs and artists such as Chimo Bayo, Immaculate Fools, New Limit, Sensity World, and Double Vision. Likewise, it examines the influence of key record labels such as Contraseña Records, Kong Records, and Zig Zag in promoting this cultural revolution.
The production, directed by filmmaker Óscar Montón with a script by Josep Miret and production by Juan Carlos García, delves into the keys to the success of the genre and the opportunities that arose to consolidate its own music industry. Many of the creators who led this phenomenon came from towns such as Silla or Sagunto.
