Presenting: ANIMA #004 - Hekato

We are thrilled to announce… Hekato is officially joining the ANIMA family as a Resident ~

Always moving with elegance and grace, Hekato is an artist who's been present on the scene since 2019. As a co-founder of the rising Całość label and collective, she has established herself as one of Poland's most recognizable talents and rapidly growing artists. With a series of outstanding performances in the country, she caught our eyes, and captivated our ears; thus becoming a frequent guest in Berlin - Visiting venues such as About Blank, Else, and Tresor in the last year.

Hekato has been involved in music and art since childhood. She learned folk singing and dancing as a child, and was also drawn towards painting. Julia is originally from Rybnik, but now lives in Wroclaw, where she is developing her musical career. Initially fascinated by deep techno, she began to lean towards faster sounds as time passed, even incorporating trance accents into her sets. Her performances are devoid of compromise, and she prioritizes quality and originality - which makes her an exceptional fit at ANIMA.

Despite her strong onstage personality, Hekato is an introverted soul who expresses her emotions through music, while taking listeners on a deep sonic journey.  

We cannot wait to share her sound with you ~

To celebrate the union, Hekato has recorded podcast #004 for us - Full of her uncompromising sound and relentlessly beautiful spirit.

You can find the podcast link below, and also on Soundcloud. If you want to catch her live, she will be joined by two other ANIMA residents at MUENZE on New Years Even in Berlin, and also a resident showcase at Tresor’s New Faces on Valentine’s day 2024  ~

Welcome to the family, Hekato 💜

ANIMA #004 - Hekato

ALPHA 11
Artist: Zemog
Track 1: Tomalinae
Track 2: Wanaboto

Mastered by NEEL at Enisslab
Artwork by Qotaroo

Label: Liquid Drop Groove
Catalog: LDG028
Release: 2024.09.12

//ENG//
The second release of 2024 features Zemog from Matteria Collective, a new cornerstone of the Pereira based Colombian deep techno scene that is pushing to the next stage, having made its first visit to Japan at EDEN 2024.

Zemog's tracks, which feature remixers such as NEEL and Claudio PRC, have a hi-fi, rich quality, with sound textures that make use of the unique qualities of analogue synthesizers, and a feeling of warmth. The two tracks of Tomalinae and Wanaboto were written for LDG, and you will be able to fully enjoy the distinctiveness of each region of the continent.

2024年の楽曲リリース第二弾は、EDEN 2024で初来日を果たしたコロンビアはペレイラ拠点の新たな礎、コロンビアのディープテクノシーンをネクストステージに押し上げているMatteria CollectiveよりZemogにスポットライトを当てる。

これまでにNEELやClaudio PRCなどをリミキサーに迎えたZemogの作品は、アナログシンセサイザーならではの質感を活かしたサウンドテクスチャー、温かみを感じ取れるもののハイファイ、厚みのあるクオリティだ。日本特有のメンタルテクノとは異なる味わい深い南米テクノ、是非聴き比べていただきたいTomalinaeとWanabotoの2曲はLDGのために書き下ろした新作、大陸毎の特徴を存分に堪能できるだろう。

ORBIT Series #36 - Michael Ius

Born from a clandestine network of self-organized raves — hidden deep within Munich’s forests, abandoned buildings, and beneath the city's concrete arteries — GEISTFREI’s artistic journey is steeped in the raw energy of the underground. 

Drawing inspiration from nature and city alike, their sound is an immersive blend of driving basslines, emotionally charged melodies, and hypnotic rhythms. Expect tightly woven dramaturgies, intricate textures, and well-balanced dynamics.
