"Three angels in free fall, who just wanted to climb the stairs to paradise."

Quelza - Climbing Stairs To Paradise , Part 1 , The Free Fall

The presented EP by Newa was created during pandemic times, in isolation, when artists worldwide had to give up their basic needs and look for new opportunities to express themselves in complete deprivation. A transformation into a physical vacuum was required to regain the balance—lost in the face of an existential dilemma. Each composition is an artistic embodiment of metamorphosis and temperance, a sonic manifestation of a continuous process, an improvisation with an arsenal as limited as people's actions under isolation. “Equilibrium” describes and discusses the universal issues for humankind arising from sociocultural and psychological contexts and does so in the language of music. With its rhythmic cadence and frequency components, this record acquires an almost tangible form that goes beyond all the limits of perception. The accompanying energy of sensations, cognitive processes, and new consciousness inspired by the discoveries transform into a single story of four tracks, where each carries a feeling of undisguised sublimation as the ultimate source of creativity.

The release explores the subject's relationship to the environment and how a modern soul interacts with large-scale cataclysms, of how one might confront the darkness and what will be one's armament in the face of the new (the latter in this case, not being derived from the old); How does the inevitable need for expression arise, amidst a chaotic storm behind unchanging behavior, and how is this storm reharmonized if the recipient body and mind belong to an artist? How is the balance achieved, and when is the equilibrium reached? These rhetorical questions are best thought through by listening to this record, as frequency is the leading instrument and minimalistic phrasing naturally follows the stream of consciousness.

The remix of “Equilibrium” belongs to Peachlyfe, a Danish musician known for their anarchist spirit, blending the rave rush with a drive of queer resistance to intense experiences. In the remix, the structural blueprint is strengthened with a gentle and meticulously measured interpretation; the care with which one artist approaches the story of another is clearly visible. Similar to Newa's personal experience, a middle ground between transformation and balance can also be noticed here.

“Equilibrium,” on the one hand, tells a very intimate, individual story and, on the other, echoes the challenging task this era has set for itself—the need for action and evolution despite the loneliness, emptiness, stillness, and emotional contention of the environment—all of this being a uniting force, bringing the listener into one big community; “Equilibrium” responds to a person's ability persisting into active development through a repetitive and monotonous context. Harmonious syncopes and airy fragmentation within the monumental framework are a metaphor for this, preparing not the destruction of an immovable internal constitution but for simultaneous change.

Gradient 001 – Taxiing

Every journey begins in stillness — a quiet breath before takeoff.
Taxiing captures that moment of anticipation, where ambient textures and subtle rhythms stretch across the silence.
The dancefloor sleeps — but the pulse has started.
It’s the space before movement, where we reflect, focus, and feel what’s about to unfold.

BUILT FROM REPETITION. TOLD THROUGH CHANGE.

Gradient 001 - Taxiing

Ema aka Zazitech first joined our second vinyl release gathering at Strahov back in January, opening the night with her signature punchy grooves. The founder of the Brno-based queer collective EERIE, Ema has been actively paving the way for a new generation of queer creators from Central Europe. Her rebellious spirit is reflected in both the ethos of her collective and the raw intensity of her sound.

Though young, her commitment to the scene is already evident, shaped in part by her time at Fuchs, where she soaked up the influences that now define her current direction.

“Zazitech” is a stylized play on the Czech zážitek and Slovak zážitok, both meaning experience. Dive into the one she’s curated for the 26th hereandthere podcast.
