Biography

Edgar Farinas is the Miami-bred producer behind Push Button Objects, whose artful fusions of hip-hop, electro, and jungle have appeared through the American Schematic and Chocolate Industries labels, and through the U.K.-based imprint Skam. While hip-hop remains the core element of the PBO sound, Farinas combines the raw beats with treated electronics, bizarre samples, and rhythmic deviations mostly foreign to hip-hop's mid- to downtempo lope. His debut EP appeared through the Schematic label, now owned and operated by Josh Kay and Rom Castillo of Phoenecia and Soul Oddity, and remains his best work. Much ballyhooing attended his first Skam EP, due to the label's connection with electronica auteurs Autechre, but that EP is easily his least interesting work to date. Dirty Dozen, his first full length, appeared in 2000 on Chocolate Industries, followed by a few singles. Fly (You Ain't), an EP, was released in 2002 to prepare fans for his sophomore full length, Ghetto Blaster. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide

Push Button Objects (or PBO) is the alias of Edgar Farinas, a producer of IDM. His style of music uses hip-hop as an underlying foundation, but with the addition of DSP-processed sounds, unusual samples, elements of electro, Detroit techno, Miami bass, jungle, and other musical rudiments somewhat alien to the genre of hip-hop, but with unique results. PBO's sound is comparable to his contemporaries like Prefuse 73 and Dabrye.

Farinas is also one-half of Ko-Wreck Technique, with DJ Craze, as well as recording an EP under the name Guineo.

Push Button Objects has released albums for labels such as Chocolate Industries, Skam Records, and Schematic Records, with his self-titled debut EP being released on the latter.
