Missex is a queer and anti-racist character who presents himself masked to give space to any identity behind the mask. Through his body and voice, he supports minorities that become majorities in anti-racist, transfeminist and LGTBIQ+ struggles. Together with Nea, his partner, they created the musical genre electrogruarritrop, a mix of tropical electroclash. Together they present a show that fuses music, performance and visual arts with their own songs. This year they plan to release their first album in digital and analog format with a vinyl.

Summer is coming and with this heat #YoGoteoConMissex and we need more hands to get the Electroguarritrop to reach and drip in different places and spaces thanks to you, your friends, your family, your neighbors.
After these elections in Spain we can't expect much from the institutions so now is when we need to organize, manage and support each other.
Here we will tell you how the money you contribute to our campaign #YoGoteoConMissex will be managed.
If we reach a minimum we will be able to cover the following objectives:
Recording of vocals for the album which will be recorded in the studio of our collaborator Pol Moreno Hoffman.
Mixing and mastering of music and vocals. We have to do two types of mixing and mastering, one digital and the other analog.
Layout and vinyl artwork by Adriana Torres who also from the beginning has been supporting us and we want to acknowledge her work and support.
Vinyl production and pressing which can take between 7 and 8 weeks. We plan to release about 250 vinyls ahhhh what a thrill !
While the vinyl is being created we will be preparing all our merchandising and rewards for those who have supported us.
Renting rehearsal space.
We will also be concentrating on preparing the release of the album and rehearsals for the new show which is loaded with visuals, new choreographies and songs.
And... of course we will continue giving Concerts so don't hesitate to call us to come to where you are or better if you support the campaign you can get a concert and get a trin tax deduction !!!!.
If we achieve the minimum and move to the optimum we can achieve even more dreams.
Better our Web Page we have achieved it thanks to the contribution and help of Sebastian Bravo who has been a collaborator since the first moment in this project, we are still building it, it is already active you can take a look ;) www.missex.art
new video clip, currently we have 3 of our videos in networks, but if we reach the goals we will be able to create a new video and finish editing one we have pending.
Elaboration of more merchandaising for our concerts.
**Supporting our trip to be at Womex in October.
We are generating new alliances and productions with other artists surprise in April we will be with Dani Boom from Systema Solar, in June with La Terrorista del sabor and more are coming.
We calculate that for the second semester of 2023 we will have the Launching of the album with the whole show (we think it could be September).
Presentations in different festivals and places
So for this 2023 we plan to tour Spain and we have already been called from Italy and Austria and 2024 we plan our tour in Latin America ehhhh and so on with the march and the full power to record our second album.
Warum das wichtig ist
Our main motivation is to be able to materialize the creation and efforts of these years of work, open roads in other places and scenarios, so we believe that the album is a step we have to take to advance our career and what better way to do it than in a collective way.
We believe in our project, which over time has been growing, El Electroguarritrop started with songs that were party songs and irony and then we put our lyrics that questioned the law of foreigners, having a king, talking about gender, music, dance, staging are our tools. We need to generate memory that is not only digital, we also want the object, the vinyl, the memory. For us vinyl is a symbol of the classic of yesterday, today and always.
This project is addressed to all those who have believed in it from the first minute, for those who saw us in a demonstration, in a neighborhood party until we reached big stages like the Apolo or Primavera Pro. For the lady who danced the clam and blushed and did not stop dancing, For the anti-racist collective who will also have the voice and the opportunity to be on the microphone of the stage where we are mounted. For all the LGTBIQ+ collective who have been present in all our growth and of which we are part of.
