BIO:

Nia BlaQ is an artist in love with the shape of music, in love with everything that surrounds us and that, which defines us. 
Music is symbolic to her existence.

Always looking for the deepest part within the shape, trying to find her center. Getting to know herself through sound, discovering her frequency. Nia BlaQ is a writer and poet, deriving from Johannesburg South Africa, she merges her manuscripts with music to create unique shape to sounds we can sink into. 

She wishes to be completely open, she tells her story through time and tempo, creating an unwritten story through her mixing, developing dancers, in hopes of shaping a culture. 

Nia BlaQ has turned her words into weaponized wisdom, and so she speaks through sound, creating a medium of her own design, and in doing so she has worked with an array of incredible artists all around the world, from the UK, Columbia, Switzerland, USA, Mexico, and Germany as well as many more.

She derives from Deep Tech, she believes this genre is one of the most intellectual of her generation, as well as the most intimate when it comes to human emotion. 

Thus, she presents her story, for those who willing to truly listen and not only hear, for those who are on the search for something more, in hopes they may find it.

Info:
It took us a while but now it‘s time to boost the first AS USUAL MUSIC release by our all-time companion and good friend AANTIGEN. The man behind this alias is a free, open-minded music lover and moreover a musician with an unconventional and real artistic approach. Releases on labels like Bar25 Music, Acht or Möhre Rekorder marked his path so far. „California“ comes with two lively and pro-active originals and a collaboration with AS USUAL label head BEE LINCOLN, all made for the love of dance aesthetics on club floors.

„California“ is a highly anticipated work with a special sense of serenity, where cozy warm deepness meets subliminal tension and a little extra portion insanity through crispy sounds. While everything  is flowing, a subtle acid line sneaks in and offers sub-harmonically a dirt-factor.

The heart of AS USUAL MUSIC beats especially for twisted and freakin’ tracks, which AANTIGEN provides with „Somebody Like You“ - a nasty club tune for ripping the floors. An extraordinary giantly-curved synth sequence drives the madness to the peak, stimulated by whipped claps and a low-end on point, as the backtracked voice stabs are just the leftovers of this wild ride with its hilarious taste. Big love for this one! 

The third one „Front Of House“ turned some rounds until it found its calling; attracted by the slightly sawed synth bass of this track, Bee Lincoln twisted AantiGen’s modulated hook and got it ready for a trip. After (no) sleepless nights, here we are with the collaborative advanced mix, flushed by A’s inglorious idea and B’s dry’n tight drumming skills. Ending up in partly acidic-like sounds and emphasizing basses, the result is a stripped-down pumpin’ and shakin’ track on a quite oblique position, as usual as we love it. Welcome Aaron! <3
