2020 was definitely a sad year for club culture, but it reminded us of the importance of sharing in our communities, especially in the times to come. So, what better way to start 2021 than inviting a bunch of talented crafters around the anvil? We’re thrilled to unveil the fourth volume of the ‘Crysta Ampullaris’ series: an eclectic blend of works by friends, artists we love and – as usual – La Forge’s core producer unit.
More ambitious, this extended compilation brings together 13 tracks from top-tier French producers, Saint-James, Scarlet, Aval Douar, Atomic Moog, Vina Konda, JKS and Raven, as well as Swiss army knife Hermeth, alongside regular blacksmiths Shonen Bat, Nigm, Ayuji, Slowglide and Lebird. It results in a wide-ranging and emotionally charged patchwork of highly energetic breakbeats, electro and techno bangers, deep introspective explorations and futuristic sonic oddities. Like a hopeful prayer for our beloved dancefloors to re-open soon.

2020 aura été une triste année pour notre culture club, mais elle nous a rappelé l’importance du partage au sein de nos communautés, surtout pour les temps à venir. Alors, comment mieux entamer 2021 qu’en invitant une bande d’artisans talentueux autour de l’enclume ? Nous sommes ravis de dévoiler le quatrième volet de la série « Crysta Ampullaris » : un mélange éclectique de compositions d’amis, d’artistes que nous aimons et – comme d’habitude – du noyau de producteurs de notre escouade. Cette compilation, plus audacieuse et plus longue, rassemble 13 titres d’artistes français de haut niveau tels que Saint-James, Scarlet, Aval Douar, Atomic Moog, Vina Konda, JKS et Raven, du couteau suisse Hermeth, ainsi que de nos forgerons habituels Shonen Bat, Nigm, Ayuji, Slowglide et Lebird. S’en résulte un patchwork riche et chargé d’émotions, composé de breakbeats énergiques, de bangers électro et techno, de profonds voyages introspectifs et de curiosités futuristes... Comme une prière pleine d’espoir pour la réouverture prochaine de nos dancefloors tant aimés !

PREVIEW : Crysta Ampullaris vol.4 - La Forge & Guests

Big boss at big IT company. Passioned about electronic music.

As a collective bringing together fifteen people (DJs, producers, plastic and graphic artists), La Forge has become in the past few years one of the main players in Reims’ electronic music scene. In a city scarred by a lack of true night institutions, they promote a protean aesthetic of techno music, without boundaries or taboos, throughout their "Crysta Ampullaris " compilations or their ‘Resonance’ and ‘Outrun’ events. Such artists as Simo Cell, Lisa More, François X, UF095, Elise Massoni, Laze, Hermeth, Renart, Sweely, Realitycheck, G’Boi & Jean-Mi, Maelstrom, Voiron, Bamao Yendé or M&C have yet played for them.

"Harka brings together a melancholy madness combining elements between the best retro riddims and futuristic flares; based in the UK, this Yorkshire lad intends to pull your heart strings with evocative melodies, challenging rhythms and sassy hooklines, part of the @tsunamibassweight gang and also hitting up the decks at events such as ‘Putting in Werk’, Beat-Herder Festival  and many more soon to come...
no need to keep your eyes peeled… 
Harka will be reaching..."

Hello. My name is Saida Sova — a DJ, promoter, and sound explorer from Almaty. I'm a co-founder of the Ploshadka techno events in Astana and a resident of the experimental collective bULt. In my sets, I love weaving together polyrhythms, emotional textures, and unexpected sonic turns — blending bass, breaks, ambient, and emo-tinged techno. I've recorded mixes for Refuge Worldwide, LYL Radio, and perform in both club settings and interdisciplinary art spaces.
