Quelza - Vardana Zaf [ NRDR117 ]

“Les Malicieuses” or “The Mischievous Ones” in French, is a double record from Berlin-based French producer Quelza. Aptly named, the LP breaks traditions of what techno is, and forges a path for what it could be. Quelza’s signature sound design and master productions shine through his blending of breakbeat, IDM, and ambient with pulsating, energetic, and wonderfully dark techno.

Quelza is assiduous when it comes to his music – his first releases already shared an input on his unorthodox approach to production, with past releases on labels such as New Rhythmic, KSR, Hayes Collective, as well as just released on Eric Cloutier’s Palinoia which is already a ‘TIP’ on Hardwax, and now Les Malicieuses LP on Bas Mooy’s MORD Records. Throughout the years the artist has also shown peculiar DJ skills having played in clubs such as Tresor, Griessmuehle, Industrial Copera in Spain, and closed 2021 in KHIDI Tbilisi.

While his influences from Spanish techno are heard throughout, the LP is not one that merely copies the traditions of the past. “Les Malicieuses” forges its own sound. The album is dark, driving, and unexpected – an exciting journey through the depths of Quelza’s imagination. Obsessively produced sound design enriches the driving rhythms of the release, defining a new sound inspired by cinematic scores.

The ‘Les Malicieuses’ the idea of a “dance floor ready” techno LP. Nothing here is predictable. The tracks explore the concepts of disruption and disturbance while maintaining club-ready rhythms throughout. This barrier-breaking album is a vision into the future of the genre, highlighted by its release on essential techno label, Mord Records.

In the authors words, this EP was recorded while he was restructuring his modular equipment. 

This "always provides an exciting moment of exploration and discovery of new sounds. I added quite a few new modules in that time and, in my experience, that is one of the best opportunities to have happy accidents in the studio because the system itself takes me to a combination of sound sources, sequencers and effects that work together". Hence the name Unruly Machines. "Ive experimented a lot with spectral techniques and layering, which is most prominent in the textures of Corridor and the main synth line of Targa. The tracks were also created in a phase where I started incorporating more and more dedicated drum modules. 

The first order of business was, of course, to route them through a bunch of external effects (mainly distortion and delays), which contributed to the raw sound of some of the tracks".

“Returning to Molecular Recordings, Heliosphere continues to showcase their distinctive vision of techno. Based in Mumbai, India, they have steadily built a reputation in the underground scene with an uncompromising sound that balances intensity with immersion. Driven by a passion for the deeper, darker side of techno, Heliosphere’s productions weave sharp mechanical grooves, raw textures, and atmospheric layers into hypnotic soundscapes that both captivate the mind and command the dancefloor. Their new four-track release on Molecular Recordings highlights this signature approach, blending lush melodies and profound basslines with relentless energy and precision. With prior appearances on influential imprints including Planet Rhythm, Soma, and Observant, Heliosphere continues to carve out a distinct space in the global techno community. This latest offering for Molecular Recordings is a testament to their evolving artistry: cerebral yet physical, raw yet refined, pushing the boundaries while staying true to the essence of techno”
