Pedro INF is tired of the current output of the electronic and post industrial music scenes, whose innovation has regressed to pre conceived ideas about music production, Pedro INF is taking lead from the pioneers such as Kandinsky, Miro, Coil, Test Department, Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) and Mu-ziq.
Designing and building his own effects, computers and programs Pedro INF has created his own self-styled 'sonar paintings', he believes that art does not need humans at all to exist, in his own words "there is no need for a receptor and the need of a receptor is only because we cannot escape the human condition of egocentrism".
Ticking the boxes that this enigmatic producer has the madness to pull of his unique brand of electronica "the first goal of pedro inf is to see the painting and not remember how it was done.

Since the mid-2000s, a counterculture has taken place where numerous netlabels, online labels that release their music for free, located in Japan have been formed and garnered a huge amount of publicity which, according to writer Patrick St. Michel, has shaped how popular Japanese music is produced. Japan's netlabel phenomenon was the first time in the history of the nation's music industry where underground musicians could produce their works however they wanted to and have their music noticed by the public; this is an aspect that was previously absent at a time when major labels in the country followed a conservative method where they managed how artists would produce their music. Starting in the 2010s, the netlabel scene has crossed over to the mainstream music landscape and all across the world, with netlabel producers transitioning into working for bigger labels and western producers like Cashmere Cat and Ryan Hemsworth being influenced by the music of Japanese netlabels.
