24 SETS LOGGED · SINCE 2022

French producer Léo Naïtaïssa, known as Quelza, relocated to Berlin in late 2018 and has since become a regular on the city's club circuit, with recurring slots at Berghain, Tresor, and other key venues. His sound spans hypnotic techno, breakbeats, and IDM—characterized by cinematic sound design, dense layers, and sudden gaps that create immersive DJ sets. He has released on Dekmantel, Mord Records, Hayes Collective, and KSR, earning support from established figures like Hudson Mohawke and Efdemin. His 2024 EP Pensa Poetico on Dekmantel's UFO series exemplifies his ability to merge organic arrangements with experimental electronic textures. Quelza approaches club music with pacing and restraint, building narrative through contrast rather than obvious peaks.
