Quelza – Bass / Club Release
Quelza is Berlin-based producer Léo Naïtaïssa, active since 2020 with 19 releases across labels including Ostgut Ton, MORD, and Hayes. His output spans raw and hypnotic techno to peak time driving tracks, with additional forays into electronica and bass music.
47030 mines the depths of miasmic, melancholic techno with an EP from up-and-comer Quelza.
French producer Quelza, otherwise known as Léo Naïtaïssa, is a fresh face in Berlin’s music scene and an increasingly in-demand name on the international club circuit. As a DJ and a producer, he’s made a name for himself as a craftsman of sophisticated dance music. His fifth solo following a full-length on Mord earlier this year, 47030 represents the apotheosis of his work thus far, mining new territory in the realm of hypnotic, soul-summoning techno and cantankerous breakbeats.
The five sci-fi-indebted songs that make up the EP open with “La Gloria” – a stripped-down club track that sets a webwork of sweeps against a roving female vocal line. The A-side intensifies in the following two cuts; where “Obliteron” casts deep and dub-inflected ravines, “Valkarr” moves at a more feverish pace, offsetting a frenetic groove against spare counter-rhythms. The flip side carries the EP’s glitched-out sonic motif through a series of pulverizing granular contortions before dispersing into a disembodied chorus of panning microtonal oscillations and harmonic wails. It’s “Nectar,” a 164 BPM break, that ties this EP to the distinct 47 stylistic canon, jackknifing the EP to a drum & bass-inflected close. The entire package will be available for purchase on September 9th, 2022.//
