Liano unleashes "ALARMA" the potent lead single from his highly anticipated album, *Drums 2*, arriving August 29 on Alpha Pup Records. "ALARMA" is an ode to rhythm, showcasing the raw, untamed energy and intricate percussive layers that have become Liano’s hallmark, setting the stage for a visceral and relentless experience. Julian Farias, the prodigious talent known as Liano, has an artistic journey inextricably linked to the drum. Originating from Hawthorne, California, the self-taught prodigy began honing his craft at age four. Liano's formative years in prog-rock, funk, and jazz instilled a versatile playing style and pocket precision that quickly elevated him to a premier instrumentalist. As a touring and recording drummer for internationally recognized acts like Cuco and Eyedress, he consistently brought dynamic energy to the stage. This deep-seated percussive foundation is the very engine driving his latest electronic endeavors, translating a lifelong dedication to drums into high-octane club anthems. While respected in the indie rock world, Liano simultaneously became a pivotal architect in L.A.’s post-quarantine electronic underground. His solo productions on vital local compilations and, notably, his integral role in the acclaimed DJ-production trio Dance Maniacs, cemented his status. Their 2024 debut, *Built Like That* (Juke Bounce Werk), lauded by Resident Advisor as a "crucial listen" reflecting L.A.’s "rave music renaissance," showcased a "grab-bag genre approach" masterfully blending house, footwork, techno, and breakbeat. Resident Advisor specifically highlighted Liano’s foundational influence, pointing to his signature "clobbering drums" as the driving force behind the album’s powerful rhythmic propulsion. "ALARMA" distills this rich history and formidable expertise into a singular, focused vision. It is a blistering exploration of techno and breakbeat, pulsating with relentless grooves and driving basslines that solidify Liano’s position not just as a musician, but as a pivotal figure shaping the very sound and pulse of modern dance music. Prepare for "ALARMA" to ignite dancefloors worldwide, offering a compelling preview of the electrifying journey that awaits on *Drums 2*.
