“Les Malicieuses” or “The Mischievous Ones” in French, is a double record from Berlin-based French producer Quelza. Aptly named, the LP breaks traditions of what techno is, and forges a path for what it could be. Quelza’s signature sound design and master productions shine through his blending of breakbeat, IDM, and ambient with pulsating, energetic, and wonderfully dark techno.

Quelza is assiduous when it comes to his music – his first releases already shared an input on his unorthodox approach to production, with past releases on labels such as New Rhythmic, KSR, Hayes Collective, as well as just released on Eric Cloutier’s Palinoia which is already a ‘TIP’ on Hardwax, and now Les Malicieuses LP on Bas Mooy’s MORD Records. Throughout the years the artist has also shown peculiar DJ skills having played in clubs such as Tresor, Griessmuehle, Industrial Copera in Spain, and closed 2021 in KHIDI Tbilisi.

While his influences from Spanish techno are heard throughout, the LP is not one that merely copies the traditions of the past. “Les Malicieuses” forges its own sound. The album is dark, driving, and unexpected – an exciting journey through the depths of Quelza’s imagination. Obsessively produced sound design enriches the driving rhythms of the release, defining a new sound inspired by cinematic scores.

The ‘Les Malicieuses’ the idea of a “dance floor ready” techno LP. Nothing here is predictable. The tracks explore the concepts of disruption and disturbance while maintaining club-ready rhythms throughout. This barrier-breaking album is a vision into the future of the genre, highlighted by its release on essential techno label, Mord Records.

IGLO - Visuality EP [Newrhythmic Recs]

Over the last few months we’ve been working on a project that aims to raise awareness of an issue that keeps losing public awareness. In the hope of finding safety and protection in Europe and a fair asylum procedure, people are forced to cross the Mediterranean Sea in unseaworthy boats. Not only are state authorities and the European Union refusing to provide humanitarian aid, they are criminalizing civil sea rescue.
Because of this ongoing situation, we have started another fundraising campaign in order to make a small contribution to the essential work of Sea-Watch e.V. Their main goal is to try to save as many people as possible from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, they are committed to educating people about human rights violations at the European borders, for example with their podcast “Grenzerfahrung”.
We collected a variety of sounds by ten beloved artists to present our very first Various Artist EP: “Passages”.
All the collected proceeds will go straight to seawatchcrew .

Ben Reymann - Broken Foot
