Coming out of the underground music scene of Mexico City, ProntaCorde is the solo project crafted by the talented artist and producer Jose-Alberto Gallegos. Driven by a passion for breaking down borders between genres, ProntaCorde serves up a unique sound that’s at once accessible while being entirely new.
What began as a DIY bedroom endeavour has since transformed into a flourishing project in the indie music landscape. Drawing inspiration from styles including electronic, indie, rock and jazz, ProntaCorde creates multi-textured soundscapes that are brimming with good vibes and infectious grooves.
First making his entrance as ProntaCorde in 2020 with the debut single “1000 Years From Now,” he’s since dropped a string of singles and a debut EP with 2021’s Coming Home. Now, coming off the back of his first full-length record, Music Of My Life which dropped in March, he returns with a new single titled “Everybody Clap!” and delivers the perfect display of his dance-focused pop sound.
Opened by lively crowd noises, an MC takes the mic to hype up the crowd over the shuffle of a snapping beat before the buzz of a synth bass lines enters to inject a stunning groove. With a switch up of soft shimmering synth textures, more vocal samples enter to craft a dreamy departure from the intensity of the main energy.
Cutting through various scenes of different arrays of synth layers and evolving vocal sample elements from stuttering chopped lines to silky smooth female leads, vibrant brass lines add colour and melodic shine. It’s a relentless party starter that fuses old school aesthetic filtered through a cutting edge sonic lens, delivering a sensational display of ProntaCorde sound design skills and his knack for bringing danceable vibes.
The aptly titled track’s energy and superb rhythm are sure to have you dancing and clapping as a smile beams across your face. It’s a slick breakdance anthem that draws on the power of music to uplift and make you lose yourself in the moment.
