Biography
R-Tronika is a New York based music collective that combines electronic and urban music genres, creating a unique sound that reflects the multicultural background of the band’s members and the city they thrive in. The songs, sung in Spanish and English, are inspired by the people and streets of New York City and embody the notion of music without borders.
The band’s recent album Sonido Atómico was produced by the band’s lead singer and keyboard player Renzo Ortega at R-Tronika’s headquarters in the historic Music Building near Times Square. “It is the result of almost two years of sound experimentation and music research. We used different recording techniques in the new album’s nine tracks,” said Ortega, who is also an accomplished visual artist.
R-Tronika’s “Sonido Atómico” follows 2010 Vinyl called EP and 2009′s full-length Apple Pie.
