People's Potential Unlimited (PPU) is a very special record label in DC known for discovering and reissuing some of the weirdest and best ultra-rare boogie, funk, and other dance music from the 70s, 80s, 90s as well as a new generation of beat-makers who draw inspiration from these strange worlds of sound.

Started by music fiend Andrew Morgan and operated out of his basement, PPU’s is a world that re-imagines funk as outsider art and cosmic-boogie as a modern variant of folk music. What would it be like if your school janitor made rap music in the broom closet or if someone in middle management still nursed a dream of being the next El Debarge? The label’s roster includes Robbie M., Dwight Sykes, Evans Pyramid, George Franklin Smallwood, Uku Kuut—names found on demo tapes abandoned to time, or else unearthed online. But PPU also pushes the present into the future. Newest members of the PPU family include DC favorite sons Beautiful Swimmers,  Dreamcastmoe, King Pari, PPU VHS Video mulcher Luke Wyatt, LA beathead Benedek, Vancouver space cadets Pender Street Steppers and Miami sound machine Mickey de Grand IV. There's a palpable scent of both mustiness and freshness to be found in all of PPU's grooves though, the smell of funk from a parallel dimension.

Armela explores music without limits, focusing on connecting with people and guiding them on an emotional journey: from euphoric and captivating atmospheres to dark and introspective sounds. She is always in search of eclectic rhythms, influenced not only by electronic music but also by a wide range of artists and bands.

Born and raised in Italy, with roots in Albania, she lived in Vienna for two years before settling in Barcelona in 2015.

With over ten years of listening, playing, and exploring music, her sound has developed into a blend of emotions ranging from warm, deep, and sensual to cold, nostalgic, and melancholic atmospheres, always seeking a balance between energy and sensitivity.

Blending groovy rhythms, the spirit of underground club culture, and the textures of ’80s synthesizers, her style flows between vibrant melodies and energetic sounds to shadowy, hypnotic, and immersive basslines.

Based in Barcelona, she has performed at many local festivals and clubs, including La Terrrazza, Moog, and Pacha, and shared her sound internationally in cities like Vienna, Berlin, Bangkok, and Istanbul, collaborating with a variety of talented local and international artists along the way.
