Falsalarma
Gritty, philosophical Spanish boom bap with heavy-hitting drums and intricate brotherly flows. The sound of deep thought in a concrete jungle.

Falsalarma is a cornerstone of the Spanish hip-hop scene, emerging from Sabadell in the late 1990s as part of the influential 'La Placka' collective. The group consists of brothers El Santo and Titó (MCs), DJ Neas, and producer Dycache Santiago.
Their sound identity is rooted in high-fidelity boom bap, characterized by meticulous sampling and a focus on technical lyrical excellence. They gained national prominence through collaborations with Frank-T before releasing their landmark debut 'La Misiva' in 2002. Their 2005 album 'Alquimia' solidified their status, earning critical acclaim for its mature themes and polished production. Falsalarma was among the first Spanish rap groups to release a live DVD, signaling their importance as a premier live act alongside peers like Violadores del Verso and Nach. Their career arc shows a transition from raw street demos to sophisticated, philosophical studio albums, maintaining a consistent influence on the 'conscious' and 'technical' branches of Spanish rap. They are frequently cited for their contribution to the 'Need for Speed: Most Wanted' soundtrack, which introduced their sound to a global gaming audience.
