YUP-CK

YUP-CK formed in Barcelona in 1997 with three members: Yulia on vocals, CK handling production and instruments, and Paula on drums. Their debut album 'Telefónica' came out in 1999, featuring the single 'Telefonema' that became their most recognizable track. They followed it with 'Quimera' in 2002, 'Hipersonica' in 2005, and 'La Otra Dimension' in 2008.

Their music mixed electronic sounds with pop melodies, and Yulia's lyrics often touched on topics that drew attention and sometimes criticism. They toured in Europe, South America, and Asia, building an audience outside Spain. The band's approach was more experimental than conventional, with CK's production giving their work an avant-garde edge.

YUP-CK's recordings show a shift over those albums, from the direct pop of 'Telefónica' to the more ambient textures of 'La Otra Dimension'. They kept working for over a decade without settling into one predictable style.
