Since childhood, Lucas Mella and Juan Ignacio Vásquez formed their first band, influenced by genres such as progressive and
alternative rock. They started playing in several places in Buenos Aires, where they got involved with many different musicians
and, receiving influence from new and abstract ways of mixing music, developed an interest in electronic music and its
technologies. This drive lead them to form a music band with those characteristics, moving to Valencia city and creating
ANIMOS.
The term Animos o Animus comes from latin and means encouragement, soul, the spirit that drives imagination and
movement; likewise, it reminds of courage, effort, will, desire, plan.
Influence by several discographic labels suchs as Afterlife and Drumcode, as well as the music from their origins, ANIMOS gets
into de Techno scene by creating music with heavenly melodies, unpredictable beats and hypnotic sounds. ANIMOS exploration
of sound is just beginning.
From 2019 to this day, they have four EP and two singles which belong to Various Artists (Sinedie Records) along with several
artists suchs as ANMA and Aves Volare. They are also included in ''EP Perceptions ||'' (iLinx Records), a label created by Sasha
Carassi, with his single ''Neural Circuits''
Their latest release is ''Apoptosis'', a mix of electronic beats in an enveloping Techno sound, qith an unexpected melody which
places them proffesionally in the current Techno scene.
Their work can be found in any platform: Spotify, Beatport, Soundcloud, Youtube, Deezer, among others.
ANIMOS live presentation is important, which is why they created their own party, called “BEYOND A SENSE” , where their style
follows and audiovisual standard that takes incluence from genres like Techno, Melodic Techno, Progressive, Indie Dance and
