Sobre Mi Gata releases “Vèrtic”

Sobre Mi Gata is a project born in 2022 in Vallcarca that blends electro-cumbia, dub, drum & bass and mutant electronics, always keeping the body in motion and the mind awake. After debuting with “Calor del colapso” (2023), where dance and critique coexisted in the face of an imminent collapse, and imagining a post-human future in “Un món sense humanes” (2024), the group continues to expand its sonic universe between techno, bachata-dub and electromerengue. Now, with “Vèrtic” (2026), Sobre Mi Gata takes a step further and places the focus on uncertainty: the moment when the world is no longer what it was and the future has yet to take shape.

The album speaks of change, of the fear of falling, of the emotional weight of not knowing what lies ahead, but also of the need to imagine new lives and possible worlds. Embracing the abyss as an act of resistance and care. “Vèrtic” —a word of Valencian origin— refers to that loss of balance that makes reality spin, and Sobre Mi Gata chooses to hold onto it through dub, steppa and massive basslines, with their unmistakable signature: celebration, awareness and bodies in motion.

The album alternates direct political critique with fragile and honest love songs. “Murs d’altaveus” is a cry to break down borders, prisons and cages, singing so that one day all walls may fall —except those of the soundsystems. “Vaga General Apocalíptica” calls for collective insurrection at a historical moment when it seems easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

On the other hand, “Tot el que no sóc” and “Vèrtic” explore love through loss, change and fear: loving as a leap into the void that can be painful, but also healing. “Dopamina” portrays life as a constant hangover, with the intuition that, despite everything, standing back up is possible. “Fundación” takes a pessimistic look at the fusion of humans and technology, singing to a future increasingly detached from what can be felt and touched. “Medusa” reflects on identity as a changing, mutable and chosen skin. And the album asks, without a clear answer: who decides unpredictable moments, love, the course of a night?
