Fatima Eiras is an underground icon from the “movida madrileña” in the nearly 90..s, she started to work in clubs as a go-go dancer and she finished working as the promoter of the two best clubs for house music in Madrid from 93 till 96 (Bocaccio, MidDay), after that period she started to work in the alternative magazine Neo2 while she formed different bands and did a lot of concerts in Madrid.
Those were not electronic bands and she had the needing of doing electronic music, then in 2005, she met Kuriaki and at first they just thought to do just one song as a collaboration. But the chemistry and the results of that first song (Covenant) was so good that they both decide to create the band called Fatima meets Kuriaki.
Born in 1973, producer-programmer, Ander Kuriaki grew up listening to techno, rock and pop favorites such as Bowie, Massive Attack, Fleetwood Mac, E.L.O.
Although Kuriaki is a music fan, he had no musical training or performing experience to offer, but he learned programming, began his first tracks ten years ago. He met Fatima via myspace, and was surprised with her voice, so decided to invent a soundtrack for a imaginary film, Kuriaki’s music weave textures taken from synthesizers, guitar, and drum machines into computer-generated sounds and sampled bits of other music.
Fatima meets Kuriaki forged a unique brand of diferents styles, including downtempo, IDM, dance music, combining infectious synthesized melodies with intelligent lyrics that have been described as filosophical and melancholic.
