Above The Clouds I Finally Found Peace – Ostgut Ton 129
Quelza se encarga de hacer sonar la referencia 129 del sello alemán con cinco temazos originales.
French-born, Berlin-based Leo Naitaossa might be best known as Quelza. His debut on Ostgut Ton is a masterclass in versatility as it flits between squashed electroid funk, rolling techno and weightless ambient. ‘One Thought Responds To Another’ has an offbeat synthetic sway, while ‘Argo Voa’ delivers the sinuous techno heft you expect from the label. Elsewhere, ‘Les Vagues Dansent Avec Les Etoiles’ pirouettes with balletic, aerial precision and ‘Above the Clouds I Finally Found Peace’ drifts into kosmiche. Closing with the pastoral chamber textures of ‘Nuage En F Minor’, this is the sound of a producer unafraid to challenge expectation.
