An undeniable tour de force in the techno world, Klaudia Gawlas’ inspiring back-story and subsequent success as a genre-influencing DJ and Producer have seen her cemented at the forefront of the ever-changing dance landscape for nearly a decade. With an impressive back catalogue of releases on some of the industry’s most respected imprints, including Joseph Capriati’s Redimension, Coyu’s Suara, and cult-label MOD - which she ran with Eric Sneo, Klaudia is now stepping out with her independent imprint - launching in March 2023.
Klaudia’s new label project ‘Illusion’ kicks off with a single release titled ‘YDK’. “I have so many unreleased tracks, which don’t fit on another label. So, it needs a nice box to call home. Also, I want to give some other artists that I have discovered in the last few years a new platform to be heard. It’s exciting to be able to have full control over your own music” She adds when asked about the launch.
‘YDK’ is an all-encompassing display of raw techno production centred around thumping kicks, hissing hat sequences and gritty electro-inspired melodic components. A certified warehouse weapon, it’s the perfect opening statement from the label, stamping industrious and hypnotically energetic techno all over its initial offering.
Featuring 10 rising voices in North America’s dance music scene, the new comp from Rare Frequency Transmissions is a high-wattage delight. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 5, 2024
