Bio/español
Bial Hclap aka Humberto Loopz es un beat maker/productor originario de Guadalajara, Jalisco con catorce años de carrera artística y un importante legado para el hip hop de su ciudad Fundó junto a Twisted Minded, Tabernario y otros MC’s de Guadalajara, el sello Handiclap Records en 2005 y fueron prácticamente los únicos responsables de producir rap serio por muchos años en esta esquina del mundo. Pero de un tiempo para acá, Bial se ha colocado con fuerza como uno de los remixeros y productores de lujo en el hip hop mexicano; y cabe aclarar, que lo ha hecho en la etapa de mayor expansión del género en el país, colaborando con actos como Pato Machete, Capricornio Man (El Gran Silencio), La Banda Baston , Mike Diaz, Eptos Uno, Manotas y muchos más. Debido a su gran versatilidad a mezclado géneros como hip-hop, trap, cumbia, dub, bass, jazz, entre otros; además de Fidel Nadal, Morodo y Hector Guerra en la arena internacional, y de haber compartido escenario con gente como La Mala Rodríguez, Violadores del Verso, SFDK, Pato Banton y otros, sin hablar de una abultada cantidad de actos en la escena del rap nacional.
La característica más distintiva de este dj/beat maker y productor tapatío, es la insistencia. Bial parece que sufre de trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo y no tiene ninguna intención en cambiarlo u ocultarlo. Su ética es a base de ensayo y error, lo que es decir que no sufre de complejos ni tiene miedo a equivocarse, a pesar de su modo bonachón y siempre caballeroso. Debido a ello, Bial ha generado más de quince proyectos musicales en su carrera, y de un tiempo a esta parte, mas bien con un énfasis concreto en diversificar su estilo. Veneno Ep - Bial Hclap The EP is best reviewed as a study in not-so discordant styles, surprisingly and inventively blended together. “Deep Skanks” is exactly as advertised, as a horn sample, a live electric guitar and electro dub reggae combine with organic cumbia to create a track that works comfortably as either a cumbia or reggae ballad. Mood Fu‘s “Veneno” has a similar balladier-friendly soul groove, but with more bass. Afrocumbiero’s “Cumbia Tropical” completes the trio of soul explorations, this track feeling more in line with technocumbia than anything else on the EP.Bial’s rap roots are certainly explored here too, snap-friendly trap beats are ear-worms on “Picadura de abispa,” the track featuring the rap stylings of Fidel Nadal and Jah Fabio. A whistling synth in the top of the mix that feels more “wild west” than “too turnt up” puts this one over the top in the best way possible. “Thug Life”‘s minor key synths undulate against the bassline, the organic cumbia sway of the track intentionally creating an aural friction that actually benefits the overall production.“Whasanas nuevas” is the mind-bending outlier here, the one track that could be just as comfortable as a vibe-friendly festival jam or a late-night underground party DJ weapon. by Marcus K.
