Bericochea debuted on Hawtin’s M_nus in 2003 with the EP ‘A’, and released his debut full length, ‘Rojo’, the same year. Here’s what xlr8r said about Rojo: “It's only coincidence that Ignacio Aguilera Bericochea's name is so reminiscent of the cochlea, that bony, shell-shaped part of the inner ear that's the heart of our hearing, but how fitting it is. I.A. Bericochea's music, a profoundly thinned-out minimal techno that's more absent than present, offers the profoundest kind of intense listening, grounded with bass that reverberates deep in the body and graced with white noise that seems to graze the very surface of the ear drum, like summer grasses brushing against weathered cement. "Rojo-like red eye," which reflects blood vessels in the eye of a photographed subject-is a journey into the pulsing heart of sound."
And The Wire: “Bericochea brings just enough emotional edge and sonic vibrancy to his dry minimalist beats and deep quavering bass patterns to give them a stealthy, unsettling life of their own. His compositions seem to come out of nowhere, accumulating an undeniable presence that lingers on long after the final shudder”
I.A. Bericochea’s next album, Sueño (2006), was mastered by Stefen Betke (aka Pole) and released on a label created for the purpose called Rojo.it.
Textura said: “There's no question the Basic Channel-Chain Reaction spirit is alive and well on I.A. Bericochea's forty-minute Sueño ... 'Sueño' means 'dream' in Spanish and there's certainly a spectral quality to the material ... Often sounding as if it was recorded in a hollow chamber, Bericochea's minimal techno manages to sound both skeletal and full, as showers of cymbal patterns, groaning bass lines, echoing reverberations, and skipping pulses come to the fore and then recede.”
The evasive and mysterious qualities of Beriochea’s sound arise from his broad exploration of sound in diverse contexts. In 1995 started playing bass in bands: metal, punk and instrumental. The best known was Actitud de Rechazo, a metal band that played in Spain, the most curious was Carosi, an emo-hardcore band which did an aventure to tour the west coast of the USA and Mexico.
In the early 00s following a stint studying physics at the University of Madrid, Ignacio Aguilera started to record found sounds, experimenting with beats and transformations, finding imediate success with his solo projects for with M_nus. Bericochea’s tracks have graced several minus compilations and mixes in the last few year, including DE9 Transitions and Magda’s ‘She’s a dancing machine’. He has toured solo throughout Spain and Mexico.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes closed, movin' like I never see shit
Rubbin' on my waves while we fuckin' got you seasick
You know I love it when we fuckin', I be speechless
Cancel appointments just so I can have you waitin' on it
Need you to ride it like you put a down payment on it
'Cause I know he was so wrong to you
And I ain't tryna make no song for you, but you got it
Fuck with both of these bitches but they don't bust it like Nina
Was just 'bout to hit up Selena
'Cause you made me wait so long for you
I only keep you company, don't tell your friends you fuckin' me
Harassin' all my bitches, tryna make 'em feel uncomfortably
You bring up what I did but you can't bring up what you done for me
You should tell me what's so wrong with you
And I wish I could freeze time
So we could travel to the past and we can rewind
And I wish I could freeze time
I put a new AP on your wrist for the meantime
Yeah, we could travel to the past, I can fuck you in the '20s
We gon' have rich sex, show you how to make this money
You like bringin' up the past, so I find it kinda funny
I'ma take you back in time so I can teach you how to love me (oh)
And I ain't tryna make it on your blocklist
I'm the one who put you in Dior 'cause you would shoplift
I'm not ashamed, this shit ain't love, we have was toxic
Just another ghetto love story with a plot twist
We should get attached with no strings for the night
I remember when you used to be my fling for the night
When you with him I pray you don't do those things that I like
Yeah, she got me on some R&B shit
Travel to the past just to take you out your cleavage
I could show you how to live life for the weekend
On some freak shit
I wish I could freeze time
So we could travel to the past and we can rewind
And I wish I could freeze time
I put an AP on your wrist for the meantime
That's if you feelin' like you need time
'Cause lately I've been feelin' like you really need time
And lately I've been feelin' like we really
You know I don't trust bitches (yeah)
And niggas ain't gettin no money they just got it for the meantime
I ain't no fuckin' role model (ha)
My favorite rapper was a drug dealer, prolly why I sold dimes
Don't show no love my nigga
Love'll get you killed, that's why I show love so different
My wrist covered in VV's
I'on't even think they know what VV means, yeah
Lately I been feelin' like I need time
She left her heart with someone else and now she need mine (yeah)
Talkin' 'bout her body count, I know that she lyin'
Whatever she tell you, multiply it by three times
But I squeeze it and I leave it and I (squeeze it and I leave it and I)
I bust down the face and that's how I freeze time (yeah)
And then just make it up like Maybelline (just make it up like Maybelline)
I put yo' ass in Amiri, took you out of them Levi's (yeah)
Then I bulletproof the Maybach, you only see blinds
Took yo' ass to Eliantte, yo' diamonds don't need light
If you finesse me more than once, then I must be blind
I was only sixteen, that was like my first time
The G-Lock on me on me hold like seventeen, but (yeah)
I still keep one in the head so I got eighteen inside
And my young niggas don't fight (my young niggas don't fight), yeah
Always keep one .9 right by my side
But on your free time
I can put Chanelly on ya waist but can I just have some me time
Freeze time, put a new AP on yo' ass for the meantime
That's if you feelin like you
Boy, you got me caught up
Yeah, you got me caught up
I don't wanna
