Lucas Uberto, better known by his stage name Ubbah, represents a wave of Argentinian talent making waves in the global electronic music pool. His recent release, “Signs,” finds a prestigious spot in the “Four To The Floor 33” compilation, curated by Solomun’s acclaimed Diynamic label. This track is a testament to Ubbah’s signature fusion of Indie Dance and Melodic House & Techno, capturing the essence of his diversified artistry. Ubbah’s musical journey, from his early trance-inspired beginnings to his present-day sonic exploration, charts a path of relentless passion and innovative craftsmanship.
Hailing from the vibrant underground scene of Buenos Aires, Ubbah’s rise illuminates the challenges faced by artists striving for recognition within—and beyond—the local sphere. His commitment to excellence and the relentless pursuit of his craft have surmounted the economic and geographical barriers that often limit the reach of talent from such regions. To be featured by a label as prominent as Diynamic is a milestone that Ubbah doesn’t take lightly; it’s a nod to his consistent quality and the global appeal of his music.
His latest offerings not only resonate with the Argentinian public but also contribute to the global electronic music conversation, showing the unique energy and spirited crowd that Buenos Aires has to offer.
What first sparked your interest in electronic music back in 2008, and how has that initial spark evolved into your current sound?
Trance music, I fell in love with it. This kind of classical music mixed with electronic sounds was what called my attention.
With your latest single “Signs” being featured in “Four To The Floor 33,” what was the creative process behind this track?
It was at the end of 2021 that Signs was created. I was playing a lot with this blend between Indie Dance and Melodic Techno, trying to play with drums in an organic way, keeping it dark but retro at the same time.
Being among the few artists to emerge from the Buenos Aires underground scene, what challenges have you faced, and how have you overcome them?
The biggest challenge probably is to emerge from countries with a frail economy, especially if they are located far away from the main market like Europe, the Middle East, or the USA. It’s hard, but not impossible, as long as you work harder than anyone.
What does it mean to you to have your work featured on Solomun’s Diynamic label?
For me it was about reaching a goal that I set years ago, I’m grateful for the constant support from big artists like Solomun, Tale Of Us, etc. These artists are always an example, so it is an honour to be supported by such big artists.
With the global reach of electronic music, where do you think the Buenos Aires scene stands, and what can it offer to the global community?
Buenos Aires in terms of the electronic music scene is incredibly big, nothing to envy other cities from Europe for example. But I think the strongest thing Argentina can offer is a crowd like nowhere in the world. The feedback you receive from this crowd is totally different, people are super energetic, kind and fun.
