#PHE2025 || #GeneraciónPhe || #10AñosPhe

The Madrid band Cycle turned the national scene upside down in 2005 with an energetic proposal of rock and electronic music that turned every live concert into a massive experience. Undoubtedly, the perfect equation for dancing, with a calibrated dose of electro and rock, which will be present at the tenth anniversary of Phe Festival, in Puerto de la Cruz. Cycle returns to Phe Festival next Friday, September 5 with the 20th anniversary tour of their debut album, Weak on the Rocks, which contained hits from their repertoire such as Mechanical, Apple Tree, Perfect pervert or Confusion!!!

This is the second time Cycle has performed at Phe Festival, following their appearance at the first edition held in 2016, on a single day and on a debut lineup for the Puerto de Santa María festival which also featured Belako, Of faith, Kostrok and 33. This time, Cycle is one of the featured acts on the main stage of Phe Festival for its tenth anniversary, performing on opening day alongside Nada Surf, Dorian, Ale Acosta, San Tosielo, and Los Blody.

The project led by David Kano, along with guitarist Juanjo Reig and China Patino, has a new singer: Carlos Ortega from Lanzarote (Zurych, Monkey Faces). He is the fourth male vocalist the project has had. Cycle From its inception, first with Luke Donovan, followed by Ziclope and Matthias Freund, the lead singer of the German band Codec & Flexo.
With five albums released, as well as remixes and singles, Weak on the rocks (2005), Sleepwalkers (2009), Stripped (2011), Dance All Over (2015) and Electric (2018) and after nearly five years of silence, in late 2024 the band announced its return to the stage with the 20th-anniversary tour for *Weak on the Rocks*. The tour has taken the band to festivals such as Metrópoli Gijón, Sonorama Ribera (Burgos), and No Sin Música (Cádiz), as well as the upcoming Phe Festival (Tenerife), and venues in Madrid, Azpeitia (Gipuzkoa), Vitoria-Gasteiz, Tarragona, Barcelona, and Valencia, among others.
On the occasion of the anniversary of Weak on the Rocks, last May Cycle began releasing remixes of the debut album. A series of installments that DJ Nano inaugurated with his take on the classic. Confusion!!! This hit was followed last June by the track "Ray of Ease," remixed by Spaniard Siliodisco and Colombian Mao Fonegra; and in July, the also classic from his "flammable" repertoire, "Apple Tree," in a reinterpretation by Parissior and Size M.

The band is in enviable shape, and their concerts continue to captivate audiences just as they did in their early days, as has been evident on this tour. This is confirmed by singer Carlos Ortega, who previews the band's concert at Phe Festival: “We play almost the entire Weak on the Rocks album, but we also play other songs that we have to play, like ”Saturday Girl' or 'Wicked,' which are on other albums and are singles.".
“Cycle is something else,” points out Carlos Ortega when asked how the experience of being the voice of Cycle is going. “The 20th anniversary tour is going very well. When I signed up for this story, I knew there would be movement,” emphasizes the singer. And as he rightly emphasizes, “the band had a very good peak in the early 2000s; at that time, there were no bands doing this type of music, with male-female singers, and with a very powerful formula.”.

Essay and touring

And how did Carlos Ortega get involved with Cycle in this new phase of the band? “It was a sum of coincidences, really. We crossed paths at Arrecife en Vivo, when they won the award for medium-format festival and played a concert at El Reducto, before the pandemic. I went with Monkey Faces, which was just starting out, and Cycle was on the bill, before the last lineup change, with Cynthia Lund and Mathias.”.

Carlos Ortega remembers that “David Kano liked the concert, he wrote down the license plate, and that was that. But a couple of summers ago, when David decided to reactivate the band and announced on social media that they were looking for a new singer, a mutual friend from Lanzarote reminded David about it. I spoke with him, he sent me the audio of some songs to add the vocals to: Apple Three, Confusion!!! and Saturday Girl, and he liked it. The next thing was to go to Madrid, rehearse, and announce that Cycle had a new singer.”.

Of all the good things that have come from Cycle's return, for Carlos Ortega, one of the very special dates in 2025 is their performance at Phe Festival. He was at the 2023 edition leading the Lanzarote band Zurych, and now he returns as the frontman of Cycle. “It will be a special concert, and we're going to play a new song that won't be on the next album, Cycle's sixth, which we're already preparing. An album that deviates a bit from the line that has been usual in their recent work, although it has very marked traces of Cycle but in a much more elegant and mature style,” he assures.

The new album, Cycle's sixth, “is almost finished.”, with a first single on the horizon, to be released at the end of the year, once the tour concludes 20th anniversary.

Phe Festival tunes into the sounds of the Canary Islands with San Tosielo, Ale Acosta, Los Blody, and Nave Rota

Posted on 27 de August de 202514 de October de 2025 by David

The Portuense music festival continues its commitment to artists from the Canary Islands archipelago, which is also being brought to the new Phe Club stage.

#PHE2025 || #GeneraciónPhe || #10AñosPhe

Phe Festival will feature music from Canary Islands artists San Tosielo, Ale Acosta, Los Bl3ody, and Nave Rota in its tenth edition. The Canary Islands are the birthplace of great musicians, and the 2025 edition of Phe Festival will be a prime example of this in the coming Friday 5 and Saturday 6 of September in Puerto de la Cruz.

The Portuense music festival continues its commitment to artists from the Canary Islands archipelago. Phe Festival it is a great showcase for Canarian music as it serves, on many occasions, to discover the musical talent that is born in the Islands. This commitment to local products is a commitment that also extends to Phe Club, where there will be several DJs from the Canary Islands.

San Tosielo Pablo and Adrián, two Canary Islanders based in Madrid with very different musical backgrounds, but who together offer the unique freshness of an unlikely duo. Their music is focused on live performance, something that will ensure the Phe Festival audience has a great time.

In 2023 they released their first album ‘I'm so sorry’. A work that mixes sensitivity, rhythm, and very catchy lyrics. In 2024 they released the EP ‘Vampire Existence’, with five tracks that consolidate their fresh and distinctive style. Humor plays a very important role in their concerts, and despite their short career, they have already been able to demonstrate in important venues and festivals that their live energy seems endless. They are about to release their next album.

Ale Acosta lands on the Phe Festival stage after starting his solo career in 2024.‘The future’is his first album in this new phase after almost 30 years in the music world, producing and belonging to emblematic projects such as Mojo Project or Fuel Fandango. This debut solo album is a highly anticipated, very personal record featuring collaborations with numerous artists such as Valeria Castro, Santa Marta, Juancho Marqués or depedro. This is a dance electronic work sprinkled with influences from their extensive and successful musical career.

A musical career that has been awarded numerous recognitions and accolades for one of the most outstanding contemporary musicians from the Canary Islands. One of the most recent recognitions, in 2024, was a nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards in the category of ‘Best Latin Electronic Music Performance’ for the track ‘The Ash’next to the palm tree Valeria Castro and what is included in his first solo album ‘The future’.

Los Blody, a rock band born in Tenerife, are coming to Phe Festival with a promising live performance that will sweep away stereotypes of more commercial music. Their first album was released at the end of 2024: ‘I'm not going to die here’It’s pure rock, but it also mixes styles with lyrics that talk about their generation and timidly approaches the urban genre.

This quintet has been rebuilt after a first phase under the name Bloody Valentine, the name they were known by in the Lala Music band competition. They are sincere and do not practice false humility, something they make quite clear in some interviews granted to the media. With the characteristic rebellion of seasoned rockers, Los Blody will present themselves to the Phe Festival audience fair and square.

Nave Rota will be another of the Canary Islands bands that will be at the tenth edition of Phe Festival. They are the incorporation that comes thanks to winning the Sonora Passport in the musical competition of the same name held in May in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Daniel Ferreiro, Carlos Arocha and Victor McClane they get into a musical vehicle piloted by talent, experience, and the pursuit of new sonic landscapes, even those that are more ambient and electronic. They don't sound broken, as the guitar, bass, and drums trio flows naturally and creatively.

Their first five-song EP marked the band's debut in 2023. However, the project was formed in mid-2022, and they began developing material based on improvisation during rehearsals before finalizing its form. From a foundation of drums, guitar, and bass, they incorporate live-triggered sequences and vocal textures, steering this ship into more ambient and electronic territories. After studio work, live performances emerged, where that same naturalness, characteristic of rehearsals with three musicians dedicated to guiding this ship to safe harbor, can also be felt.

More Canary Islanders infiltrated

The band Cycle comes from Madrid. But the Canary Islands ingredient is there: their singer, Carlos Ortega (Zurych, Monkey Faces), is from Lanzarote. Ortega is the fourth male vocalist Cycle has had since its beginnings, first with Luke Donovan, followed by Ziclope and Matthias Freund, vocalist of the German group Codec & Flexo.

Cycle, visiting the Phe Festival for the second time, is in an enviable state of form and their concerts continue to captivate audiences, just as they did in their beginnings, as has been evident on this 20th-anniversary tour. Ortega announces that at the concert they will give at Phe Festival, “we will play the album ‘Weak on the rocks’ - his debut album- almost entirely, but we also do other songs that we have to play, like ‘Saturday Girl’Oh‘Wicked’, which are on other albums and which are singles”.

There are also great DJs in the Canary Islands.

One of the main innovations of the tenth edition of Phe Festival is Phe Club. This commitment also cannot escape from Canary talent, as there are great DJs in the Canary Islands and a significant club culture. Up to twenty artists will perform on the three stages of Phe Festival, ensuring the audience never stops dancing.

Beat Creator, Gerson Reyes, Hanson, Ifara, Lau!, Elchico, Bliss, Aquiles Orquídea, Woodhands, Mito, Just_Beca & Calama, Doppler, Bobby Bob, Eva Olvido, MCR Selector, Jaisiel, Vicky Morales, John Johnson, Índigo, Jajaja, Jessy La Ley, Sam Am, Irtap, Ninf.A, Mascareño y Jalea are the names of the DJs who will make the pier of Puerto de la Cruz rumble at the 10th edition of Phe Festival.

Nada Surf, a legendary band for the tenth anniversary of Phe Festival

Posted on 13 de August de 2025 by David

The New York-based band, with a solid three-decade track record, arrives in Puerto de la Cruz on September 5th for the opening day of Phe Festival, with their tour presenting their latest album ‘Moon Mirror’.’
From their beginnings, the band has experimented with different musical elements, always seeking to maintain a balance between energy and melody that defines their characteristic sound.

#PHE2025 || #GeneraciónPhe || #10AñosPhe

The New York band Nada Surf holds a prominent place in the scene of so-called alternative rock, indie rock, or power pop, because there's a bit of everything in their extensive and diverse discography. A legendary group, for their attitude and repertoire, and with a legion of followers in Spain thanks to their countless tours with each new album and their regular presence at festivals, they will be performing live in Puerto de la Cruz on Friday, September 5th, on the opening day of the tenth edition of Phe Festival. Nada Surf is one of the main attractions on the first day of concerts at the Portuense festival, which also features national groups Dorian, Cycle, and Carlangas on the main stage, the Canary Islands bands San Tosielo and Los Blody, and sets by Abraham Boba (León Benavente), Beat Creator, and Eva Olvido and MCR Selector.

Nada Surf arrives at Phe Festival during Moon Mirror's European tour, their latest studio album and first in four years after Never Not Together (2020), which is being released to coincide with the 30th anniversary of his debut single, The Plan/Telescope (1994). A tour that has New Yorkers on the road from mid-July to the end of September through cities in France, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, and Norway, among other destinations. The Phe Festival date is the only one in Spain on this summer stretch of the Moon Mirror Tour, which had presentation concerts in Madrid, Bilbao, and Zaragoza last November, and others in peninsular territory this same year.
The band, which began as a trio in 1992 in New York with Matthew Caws on guitar and vocals; Ira Elliot, formerly of Fuzztones, on drums and vocals; and Madrid's Dani Lorca on bass and vocals; and as a quartet with guitarist Doug Gillard, of Guided by Voices, since 2012, among other collaborators, has accumulated a solid three-decade career with a repertoire that has become part of the collective consciousness as the soundtrack to several generations.

On Phe Festival hymns from their repertoire will sound, from the classic "Popular" that opened doors for them internationally, to the most recent ones that encompass their latest release: In Front Of Me Now, New Propeller, Losing, Second Skin or Moon Mirror, which gives its title to the album. A work recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Ian Laughton, featuring keyboardist Louie Lino, which keeps the essence of Nada Surf intact.

And Nada Surf's sonic evolution is reflected in the diversity of styles and genres they have explored in their discography. There's nothing to spare in a production with about fifteen releases, including eleven studio albums, live recordings, and other releases. Nada Surf presented their credentials with the single The Plan/Telescope (1994) and it would be the debut album High/Low (1996) which would bring them fame and open doors with the song "Popular." A handful of energetic pop songs in a power trio format, ten tracks in 36 and a half minutes for the Elektra label, produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars.

Then titles such as The Proximity Effect (1998), Let Go (2002), The Weight Is a Gift (2005), Fortunate (2008), If I Had a Hi-Fi (2010), The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy (2012), You know who you are (2016), Peaceful spirits (2016), Never Not Together (2020) and Moon Mirror (2024).
There's no known bad or mediocre album from these New Yorkers, which speaks volumes for a band that enjoys its craft and the stage. From alternative rock to the incorporation of keyboards and synthesizers, the band has known how to adapt to current musical trends without losing its original essence and the search for balance between energy and melody, elements that define their unique and characteristic sound.

First visit to the Canary Islands in 1999

Nada Surf has maintained a very special relationship with the Spanish public since their beginnings. Frequent visitors to the Iberian territory, playing in venues and festivals, with the tours supporting the albums they've released since the late 1990s, the band has earned enormous popularity and respect among the national audience.
In April 1999, on the occasion of the presentation of the second album The Proximity Effect (1998), Nada Surf performed for the first time in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, at the pub La Calle, on the last two dates of a tour that had taken the then-trio through Vigo, Madrid, Irún, La Rioja, Cádiz, and Logroño.
Gratitude towards Nada Surf comes from the public and from national artists themselves. In this regard, the collective tribute that bands paid to Nada Surf in 2018 should be highlighted Lagartija Nick, Lori Meyers, Rufus T. Firefly, Viva Suecia, La Habitación Roja, Villanueva, Second, Clovis, Anni B. Sweet, Noise Box, and Shinova on the disc Your Aura Shines Brighter: Nada Surf Let Go 15th Anniversary, with mostly Spanish versions of the New Yorkers' third album.

Judeline, the ‘glass girl’ lighting up Puerto de la Cruz's summer

Posted on 30 de July de 202524 de August de 2025 by Laura

The 22-year-old singer from Cadiz lands in Puerto de la Cruz with the tour for her debut album ‘Bodhiria,’ as the icon of a new generation that connects tradition and avant-garde.

Judeline She is one of the most promising voices in the new Spanish pop scene. The singer from Cádiz, whose name is Lara Fernández, who grew up in the town of Caños de Meca, a coastal village in Barbate, Cádiz, is a major phenomenon in recent history, and will be stopping in Puerto de la Cruz on Saturday, September 6th to illuminate the tenth anniversary of Phe Festival. A bet by the festival organizers from El Puerto to have this young artist in 2025, who is setting the pace both in Spain and abroad with a musical proposal that transcends genres, where Andalusian heritage is mixed and enriched with elements of pop and electronic music.

A contemporary pulse that has had unprecedented national and international significance. Its debut album Bodhiria (Interscope, 2024), released in October 2024, produced by his collaborators Tuiste and Mayo, along with members of Russia IDK Rusowsky, Drummie and Ralphie Choo, and Rob Bisel (SZA, Tate McRae) has been acclaimed by the international press in outlets such as Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Fader, Billboard, The New York Times, NPR, Variety or Remix.

With millions of streams of their repertoire across all platforms streaming, Judeline has been recognized as the artist representing the future of European music after winning two awards at MME (MME Award and Public Choice Award) at the Eurosonic Noorderslag 2025 festival, and receiving the El Ojo Crítico de RNE award, among other accolades. Judeline was the only Spaniard to perform on stage at the Coachella festival (California), held in April of this year, in addition to being present at major national festivals. In this regard, it should be noted that Judeline decided to cancel her performance this year at the Benicassim International Festival due to FIB's link to the KKR fund and its support for the Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Created between tradition and the avant-garde, Judeline doesn't want to pigeonhole her music or seek a label to define the kind of emotionally charged pop she practices, which is filled with spirituality. Her starting point, rooted in flamenco, Camarón, and Lorca, serves as a launchpad in search of new sonic horizons.

With a childhood and adolescence marked by the gray tones of depression that befell him as a consequence of Bullying what they did to her in school and high school, as the artist herself has stated, at 16 she dropped out of her fourth year of ESO to change her surroundings to Amsterdam, start working, and sing in her free time. The dark cloud began to disappear, and the young Judeline found music to be the best therapy.

He returned to Cádiz after some time and completed his studies to settle in Madrid. In the capital, and during the lockdown, his path crossed with Alizzz after winning a contest organized by the producer. What happened from what Judeline did with the song Rota It's history now.

23 singles

A studio album, the aforementioned Bodhiria (2024), which includes caliber themes such as Silver earrings, Heavenly, INRI or Mangata; One Ep Of the light (2022), and 23 singles, including seven collaborations as a guest, in addition to compositions she has released on platforms since 2017, are the sonic portrait of Judeline, whose production continues to grow at an unstoppable pace. Proof of this are the three singles she has released this 2025, and which will surely be part of the repertoire she will perform at the tenth edition of Phe Festival, next September in Puerto de la Cruz: You and I, a song in Portuguese, French, and Spanish filled with sensuality, recorded with Brazilian artist Mc Morena, which was released last April; Glass girl, a piece filled with melancholy that appeared last June; and the most recent one that connects Judeline with the roots of flamenco that mark her direction A bridge across the bay, the Field Cross, tribute to Camarón on the 75th anniversary of his birth, recorded alongside guitarist Yeray Cortés.

Judeline was the first Spanish artist in the campaign Singles of Spotify in 2023, with its versions of The Torture and I Am The Only One, in addition to being recognized as a VEVO DSCVR Artist to Watch in 2024.

After embarking on a European stadium tour with J. Balvin in early 2024, Good to see you again Tour, in a year that Judeline released two singles from her debut album Bodhiria, case of Mangata and Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the artist has a 2025 with a full concert schedule for the tour Bodhiriwith 15 sold-out dates across Spain and international festivals such as the aforementioned Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival (USA), Spain's Primavera Sound Barcelona, BBK, Sonorama Ribera and Phe Festival, We Love Green (France), or Dour Festival (Belgium), among others.

The tenth edition of Phe Festival, on September 5th and 6th, embraces other music genres and presents a lineup of international and national artists who will headline the anniversary celebration in Puerto de la Cruz: the Belgian duo 2manydjs, of brothers David and Stephen Dewaele, musicians and producers, a side project of Soulwax, the alternative and electronic rock band they've led since 1995, who will be in Puerto de la Cruz with their catalog of impossible remixes; the Barcelona band Dorian, prominent figures in electronic pop and new wave on the national scene; Samurai, a Madrid-based artist who practices a sort of pop fusion and alternative rock, which has positioned itself as one of the most promising voices in the Spanish music scene; Cycle, the perfect equation of electronic production, danceable beats, and guitars, which joins the tenth Phe Festival party with the 20th-anniversary tour of their debut album, Weak on the Rocks (2005); the Compostelan Carlangas, that after more than a decade and five albums released leading Novedades Carminha, arrives at Phe with his personal sonic adventure; and the musician and producer from Lanzarote Ale Acosta with his solo project.

In the presence of the New York band Nada Surf and the Canaries San Tosielo, Broken Ship and Los Blody, it's worth highlighting the incorporation of Ganges, project selected from 400 proposals from 75 different locations that received the call for the Spanish music internationalization program The Spanish Wave, in its first collaboration with the Tenerife festival.

Among the new features of this edition, Phe Festival presents three stages with simultaneous programming to mark the debut of Phe Club, a new space dedicated to electronic music and clubbing culture, which will feature 25 internationally renowned artists and prominent Canarian references.

Sen Senra will set style in Puerto de la Cruz

Posted on 17 de July de 202415 de January de 2025 by Ulises

The urban pop phenomenon arrives in Puerto de la Cruz in its first concert in the Canary Islands with the tour PO2054AZ, also the title of his new three-volume album project. The artist is crowned as one of the greats of the Spanish scene, setting trends in each work.

***#UnicoInCanarias ||* #*WeTalkMusic***

The urban pop phenomenon, Sen Senra, is one of the outstanding artists presenting the ninth edition of PHE Festival, which will be held on August 23 and 24 in the Tenerife municipality of Puerto de la Cruz. It will be the first concert that Sen Senra, the alias of Christian Senra, will hold in the Canary Islands and it seems like an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the live performance of this musician and composer born in Pontevedra, who has collaborated with figures such as C. Tangana, Julieta Venegas, Feid or Tainy, and since his debut album in 2015, he has conquered the public and the national and international market with songs that are anthems.

Sen Senra arrive at PHE Festivel in 2024 in Puerto de la Cruz with the tour PO2054AZ and the title of his new three-volume recording project. The title of the album and the tour is the license plate of a Peugeot 205 that his father owned, and which, on his countless trips, he discovered the music that would lead him to become an artist. Nostalgia for the past is the highway that leads to his most brilliant project to date. And it is Sen Senra's excuse to present an emotional journey, in which he discovers his most eclectic songs, where the urban is contaminated by pop, American influences, avant-garde and experimentation.

A journey that begins with I don't want to be a singer, a declaration of intent from the Galician ("I don't want to be a singer, I want to be something better"), going through pieces like One Of Those Cats, beside Sky Breaking (Feid, J Balvin…) or Completely crazy, produced by Tainy (Bad Bunny, Rosalía…), Senra DNA, Blue Jeans and a Crop Top, My North (with Ian Isiah), No Excuse, and others of the stature of Family or It doesn't matter what people think.

From his native Pontevedra, Sen Senra He began in 2015 to deliver songs condensed into two albums that immediately showed his facility for melody and for taking other people's references and turning them into his own. Permanent Vacation (2015) and The Art Of Self-Pressure (2017) were introductory albums, in English, that have little to do with the sound universe that Sen Senra manages today. The decisive moment in the Galician's career would come with his third job, Sensations (2020), produced by Anxo Ferreira. Here were hits that came to stay like YI don't need you, Don't let me go anymore, LIKE the fire or 86.400.

ROMANTIC ICON

Sen Senra He is a multifaceted and multidisciplinary musician of infinite charisma, according to his record company. A romantic icon with which the public and fellow generations immediately identified. Good proof of this was the call from C. Tangana to lock themselves up to write together How easy, a topic that became the seed of chrome heart (2021), EP that served as a follow-up to the celebrated Sensations (2020). A job that with pieces like wu wu, his collaboration with Feid, helped him continue opening the doors of the Latin public. His ability to transcend generations and audiences was demonstrated with another duet, in this case with none other than Julieta Venegas in Of you, with Manuel Lara, known for his productions for Kali Uchis, at the controls. Highlight, among their most recent collaborations, the song Beautiful coincidence, with Aitana, recorded months ago. The two met at her concert in Bogotá at the end of last year and decided to cross paths.

Sen Senra He is the fashionable artist. The tours through Latin America, with a special focus on Mexico where he has a legion of followers, with full houses at the Pepsi Center in Mexico City, among other milestones, packed concerts at the Wizink Center and at the Sant Jordi Club, show of the impact of his music and the public that follows him. Festivals such as Bilbao BBK Live, FIB Benicassim, Morriña Festival, Santander Music Festival, Sonorama Ribera, Festival B in Barcelona, FIZ Festival in Zaragoza or Cooltural Fest in Almería, as well as PHE Festival, mark Sen Senra's agenda until September of this year.

THE SENRA PHENOMENON

In 2019, he published 'Sensaciones', an album that marked a before and after not only in his career, but in the artistic scene, which received him as a genuine revelation. The Galician artist has refined his own sound that has conquered an ever-growing audience, distancing himself from the stigmas of the urban genre, with brilliance, concision and, most importantly, style. The title of his latest album 'PO2054AZ' is, at first glance, a license plate of an old Peugeot 205 from Pontevedra but, behind it, hides the artist's most emotional journey, discovering his most eclectic songs, with an international sound that mixes the urban, American influences and avant-garde essence.
