"I wanted to make this mix like a one hour ballad, heavy but clear.
Not too hard but powerful in emotion, and maintain a certain tension with progressive and long layering without any interruption. 
To give a feeling of pressure while keeping a feeling of wide space: a sound paradox."

Léo Naït Aïssa (aka Quelza), counts as one of the most satisfyingly mature young guns to emerge out the new wave of techno artists that’s been unfurling in recent times, with an exquisitely panoramic view into his mental multiverse. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting signature, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure with every next sequence.
 
Quelza is assiduous when it comes to his music - his releases on labels like Mord Records, Palinoia , 47, Hayes Collective and others, push an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist - which, combined with his unique DJ sets, has earned him a spot at some of the most prestigious clubs in Berlin (where he is currently based) and abroad, such as: Berghain , Tresor, Fabric London , Reaktor , KHIDI to name a few.

Awakenings Podcast S226 - Quelza

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.

Release Date: 13.08.2025
Format: Vinyl / Digital

Release info:
"Отцовский Грув" — это пять треков, где скрежет металла и стоны промышленных цехов сочетаются с мракобесным грувом и техно-механикой. Optimuss варит свой звук в печи постиндустриального наследия: здесь и гул станков, и дрожание несущих конструкций, и ритм, вырванный из утробы завода.

Здесь слышны отголоски старой школы индастриала, переработанные через мрачную луповую структуру — ритм не столько движет вперёд, сколько втягивает внутрь, в пульсирующее сердце механизма. "Грув" в названии — не случайность, а коварный элемент: за тяжёлым, техногенным фасадом скрывается особая пластичность, почти телесная вибрация, которая цепляется за тело и запускает его в ритмический транс.

OPTIMUSS - ОТЦОВСКИЙ ГРУВ [FREE DL]

PARAPHER delivers a 4-track EP on ÇARK, blending his industrial signature with hypnotic sequences, ethereal vocals, and sacred synthesis.

𝐀𝐆𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐈 opens the record as a prologue, setting a divine and theurgical tone for what follows. 𝟏𝟔𝟗𝟐, inspired by the era of witchcraft, unfolds through heavy-hitting drums and repetitive patterns infused with a sense of dark sorrow and despair. 𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐀𝐇 captures the sacred essence of the EP, combining evolving structures and refined sound design to reach a state of ritualistic tension. 𝐋𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐋 concludes the journey with rumbling low-end, sacred whispers, and obscure pads blended with paranoid synths. 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐒 stands as an exploration of faith, obscurity, and transformation.
