Wind with wind
Air that sounds austral
Lord of the desert and steppe
Wind that invades and spreads everything
In the tree, in the bush, in the plateau, in the carved stones, and the cracked lips.
Energy, clean and thirsty vigor.

V.A - Chakravyūh [QR100 / Qilla Records]

Produced by Lindsey Wang aka Polygonia
Mastered by Vipul Angirish at Audiosol
Artwork by Aniruddh Mehta at Studio Bigat
Released by Qilla Records from Goa, India
Release Date : May 20th. 2024

Presenting Qilla Records' centennial release. 

'Chakravyūh' (चक्रव्यूह), in ancient Sanskrit, evokes the imagery of a spinning wheel, embodying interpretations of rotating defence formations, mathematical constructs, and symbolic cyclical journeys, all mirroring movement through frequencies and time.

This compilation weaves together the essence of 34 artists from 12 countries. Spanning 222 minutes, each track leads deeper into a collective sonic exploration, blending introspective techno with vibrant psychedelia.

The artwork's radial constellation of 100 spheres represents the interconnectedness of the human experience, with each sphere symbolizing a pivotal step in our journey, highlighting the perpetual motion of creation and evolution.

‘Chakravyūh’ stands as a testament to the Qilla ethos: forging new frontiers while remaining grounded in a community with a shared vision—a reflection of the past, present, and the boundless future.

Immerse yourself in the eternal dance of the cosmos.

Deep, trippy and hypnotic. That pretty much sums up the new Nacreous-EP by Shoal on the Dutch imprint NOWHERE. The title refers to a certain glow or color that mother-of-pearl radiates. Shoal is the alter ego of Utrecht-resident Kenny Dean Kneefel. When you have a name that sounds like a famous stuntman, you are probably prepared to take more risks.

And indeed that's exactly what this producer from the lowlands does on Nacreous. Shoal's four track EP combines hallucinant grooves with delicate sound design. Like on Bygone Drums, where ominous distant sounds from a nearby factory creep between the shadows. The same can be said of the title track, a tribalistic tune with a delicate dark undertone.

Never Endings is more uplifting, with its dubbed out basslines and crispy hi-hats. Dubtechno that reminds us of both Monolake and Fluxion. Closing track Morning Float is indeed that, a trip in a blue tank filled with warm water, where you are comforted by beautiful strings and sounds of nature.

In the centre of a dark forest you find a moonlit clearing, there is a low mist drifting along the floor, you sense you are not alone... The wind picks up, theres a low drone of wildlife and the branches rattle in the breeze... The signs are all there, this can be none other than the work of Biocym.

About YYARD:
YYARD represents a musical project of pianist, keyboarder and producer Yannis Anft with roots in Cologne and Berlin. Anft draws inspiration from his many years of experience as a jazz pianist, dancing through nights in clubs and his enthusiasm for other genres of music and art forms.
The soundscape of YYARD‘s productions is characterized by playful textures, pulsating and driving grooves, as well as a loving and detailed sound design. Tempos and genre play a subordinate role. Anft tries to give the listener access to a world of his own, in which you can lose yourself on the dance floor. Also in his DJ sets Anft puts a lot of emphasis on the creation of a welcoming and open vibe, which he creates through the accurately selected tracks from the field of House, Techno or Breakbeat.
Born in 1993, Anft started playing the piano at the age of 11. From 2013 to 2019, he studied jazz piano at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne, with teachers such as Hubert Nuss and Jürgen Friedrich. Since then he has been active as a pianist, keyboardist and producer. In addition to engagements in numerous side projects based in various genres, he names Hip Hop/Neo Soul act SALOMEA and his own project Delusional Mind as his main projects.
Concerts brought him to stages in Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Denmark, Morocco and Slovenia.

Mastered by NEEL at Enisslab

Label: Liquid Drop Groove
Catalog: LDG028

//ENG//
The second release of 2024 features Zemog from Matteria Collective, a new cornerstone of the Pereira based Colombian deep techno scene that is pushing to the next stage, having made its first visit to Japan at EDEN 2024.

Zemog's tracks, which feature remixers such as NEEL and Claudio PRC, have a hi-fi, rich quality, with sound textures that make use of the unique qualities of analogue synthesizers, and a feeling of warmth. The two tracks of Tomalinae and Wanaboto were written for LDG, and you will be able to fully enjoy the distinctiveness of each region of the continent.

//JPN//
2024年の楽曲リリース第二弾は、EDEN 2024で初来日を果たしたコロンビアはペレイラ拠点の新たな礎、コロンビアのディープテクノシーンをネクストステージに押し上げているMatteria CollectiveよりZemogにスポットライトを当てる。

これまでにNEELやClaudio PRCなどをリミキサーに迎えたZemogの作品は、アナログシンセサイザーならではの質感を活かしたサウンドテクスチャー、温かみを感じ取れるもののハイファイ、厚みのあるクオリティだ。日本特有のメンタルテクノとは異なる味わい深い南米テクノ、是非聴き比べていただきたいTomalinaeとWanabotoの2曲はLDGのために書き下ろした新作、大陸毎の特徴を存分に堪能できるだろう。
