Argentina’s underground continues to produce artists who understand that the darkest sounds of the past can still feel urgent in the present. Sektor Voltage, the solo project of Nicolás Pomilio, returns with En otra dimensión, a full-length release that dives headfirst into the shadowy aesthetics of the 1980s while giving them a distinctly contemporary pulse. Post-punk guitars and cavernous vocals collide with synth-punk bursts, electronic body music rhythms, and motorik propulsion, creating a sound that is simultaneously dour, hypnotic, and built for movement.
Across its eight tracks, En otra dimensión constructs an alternate sonic reality where the old-school Frankfurt electronic scene meets Belgian New Beat, darkwave, and the raw immediacy of post-punk. Pomilio’s approach is refreshingly physical: these are songs driven by repetition, rhythm, and atmosphere, with electronic machinery providing the framework for guitars, live-played synthesizers, and his deep, commanding voice. Rather than simply recreating an ’80s aesthetic, Sektor Voltage uses its vocabulary as a foundation for something more personal and modern.
The album’s first single, “IN DEN VERBORGENEN WÄLDERN” (“In the Hidden Forests”), offers a particularly strong glimpse into this world. Drawing on the German dark scene of the era, the track pairs its relentless pulse with a music video depicting Pomilio’s solitary journey through natural landscapes. The contrast between the organic surroundings and the song’s mechanical, throbbing production reinforces the album’s central tension: human introspection caught inside an increasingly digital and industrial reality. The result is both melancholic and strangely liberating, inviting the listener deeper into Sektor Voltage’s alternate dimension.
En otra dimensión marks the fourth album in Pomilio’s ongoing evolution, following Amor a mi negra lista (2023), Animal en extinción (2024), and Oscura noche del alma (2025). With each release, Sektor Voltage has refined a hybrid of EBM, industrial, darkwave, and post-punk, and this latest chapter brings those elements into sharper focus. Recorded largely with a Zoom R8 and built from programmed rhythms, live synthesizers, guitars, vocals, and hands-on percussion, the album feels deliberately tactile beneath its futuristic surface. From its first beat, En otra dimensión establishes a place where darkness is not merely an aesthetic but a space to inhabit—and whether the listener finds their way back is entirely up to them.
