About Farmacia
Farmacia is an Argentine techno-pop / experimental electronic project founded in Buenos Aires in 2000 by brothers Ariel Sima and Diego Sima. The duo launched their first releases through their own imprint Discos Sordos, producing all the material in a home-studio and handling artwork and production in-house.
Between 2000 and 2005, the project issued a run of early EPs on Discos Sordos, including “Música envasada” (2000), “Mal y bien a la vez” (2001), “13 nebulizaciones” (2004) and “Nanas” (2005).
The group’s first long-form album “Crucial sky in the land of premonition at Lorenzo’s weekend” arrived in 2006, followed by the song album “Nada de Nada” in 2008 on Discos Sordos. “Nada de Nada” became closely associated with Gabriel Medina’s film “Los paranoicos” (2008), for which the duo contributed the title track; the song later circulated on digital platforms alongside the film tie-in clip.
In mid-2008, they appeared on the UK label Some Bizzare via the double compilation “Some Bizzare Double Album”, contributing the track “Estas Técnicas.”
The “Nada de Nada” repertoire later generated international reworks. Notably, Tokyo collective Satanicpornocultshop issued “Nada De Nada feat. FARMACIA” on “Catholic Sunspot Apron [Some Bizzare Edition]” in 2014.
Their album chronology continued with “Desorden Obsesivo Compulsivo” (2011) and “La sangre del sol y la luna coagulada” (2016). In 2019, the duo collaborated with British artist Val Denham on “The Devil Knows Your Name Now,” released by the German label Psychofon Records, followed in 2020 by an instrumental edition issued directly by the band in a micro run.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
