03 Make Me Weak

WeTurnToRed (a.k.a. Shamanta Chandran) is a Syrian-born, Tamil-Canadian producer/DJ/singer/songwriter and scientist, based in Toronto. Growing up on the outskirts of the city, she studied and classically trained in opera and jazz as an arts high school kid. Her deep love for electronic music was ignited, after being introduced to the mid-90’s Toronto rave scene by her older brother.

After experimenting in the studio for over a decade, delving into melodic nuances of modular and analog synths, it was clear that growling basslines and haunting melodies were the subjects of her affection. She made her mark in Toronto's electronic music scene through live hardware deep house/techno-focused sets. When Djing she is known as a quality selector of many genres from hip hop, reggae, to house and everything in between. Memorable DJ gigs include opening for legendary artists like Toni Humphries, Waajeed and Dauwd.

Some notable music releases include Planet E Detroit Love-Vol 5 mixed by DJ Holographic, MSTRKRFT’s ORO Records, and Cosmic Resonance (Toronto). Her debut EP, “Smoked Glass” on PITS (Detroit) garnered acclaim, leading to features on “Stamp the Wax” and “Rinse France“to name a few.

WeTurnToRed has an exciting 2022 ahead of her, with forthcoming projects such as a vinyl EP on Cosmic Resonance, releases on Sounds of Berlin (Berlin), plus more to come. As one of the few South Asian women in the electronic modular space, WeTurnToRed is an artist to watch for.
