Distrikt with Quelza (Palinoia, Berlin) & Faxtory (Distrikt, Hong Kong)

Distrikt resident DJ and co-founder based in Hong Kong. After spending time in New York, Justin (Faxtory) became fascinated with the city’s underground music scene from regularly attending parties where legendary local DJs would play (eg. Frankie Bones, Damon Wild, Adam X). As a resident DJ and co-founder of the collective and club night Distrikt (Hong Kong), Justin aims to share his experience by integrating uncompromising and cutting-edge sounds with the local scene. Expect an eclectic mix of tracks and a blend of polyrhythmic beats brought together by groovy footwork that you might hear at an industrial warehouse in Brooklyn, or at a basement in Queens.

̸BIOGRAPHY French electronic music producer based in Berlin, Germany. Quelza (real name Léo Naït Aïssa), was born at the end of the 90s in the Parisian suburbs. Lulled in the arts since his childhood, his connection with music is made at an early age. But it's in 2013 that he made his first encounter with the Parisian electronic scene which inspired him to start producing his own tracks. Over the years, Quelza has made a name for himself in the scene, earning the respect of renowned artists, such as Oscar Mulero, DVS1, Marcel Dettmann, Ancient Methods, Efdemin or Tommy Four Seven to name a few, and committing to in-depth projects and releases. 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 and several more. 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.
