1.27 周六 • 天堂的低语 - Mama Told Ya 新晋才女 Vel

Mama Told Ya 由法国 DJ / 制作人 Anetha 创立于 2019 年，作为一个致力于探索电子音乐实验领域的平台，Mama Told Ya 不仅以领先时代的声音孕育着一个多样化的创意社群，更专注于音乐与生态之间的紧密联系，旨在引发有意义的对话。作为该厂牌旗下的最新成员，来自摩洛哥的 Vel 正跃升为近几年法国最炙手可热的音乐人之一。

Vel is a Moroccan artist, France-based, dj, producer of electronic music and engineer.

When she left Rabat, her hometown, at 18 years old for Lyon, she studied to become an engineer. Yet, one particular night shook her path up: she met techno music for the first time at Le Sucre and it was love at first sight. With these new Doors opened, she passionately nurtured from the club culture she encountered there, up to the point where she allowed herself to ascend, becoming Vel.

Celar-paced yet textured techno, powerful yet graceful, Vel’s sound radiates through throbbing drums she summons from her memories, celestial whispers and fragile voices: the divine feminine emanates from all the pulsating vibrations she casts. During sets, Vel knows no limits of genre, she’s always eager to hit hard, defying boundaries and BPMs, a true force of nature.

In a small amount of time, Vel’s journey was already marked by the friendship and the guidance of artists such as François X, u.r.trax or In Aeternam Vale. She looks up to them and to other artists where she also finds inspiration: Bjarki, Anetha, Schacke, Objekt…

The last three years, Vel released 3 EP: «Who by fire» on Unusual Records (2020), «He Took One Cliché» on Nasdat (2021), «Era L» on François X’s label XX LAB (2022). Vel is also an active member of Under Rave, u.r.trax’s collective, and Lyon’s techno scene.

随着 Vel 在 Le Sucre 首次打开电子乐大门后，她不断在法国俱乐部文化中汲取养分 —— Vel 的 DJ set 从不受流派的限制，她善用明快而富有质感的节奏召唤其记忆中声响。颤动的鼓点、天堂般的低语使得 Vel 所呈现的音景笼罩着一缕神圣的光晕。

很快 Vel 便与 François X、u.r.trax 与 In Aeternam Vale 等杰出艺术家建立了链接，过去三年里 Vel 发行了三张 EP 《Who by fire》《He Take One Cliché》《Era L》。其中发行于 François X 厂牌 XX LAB 的《Era L》被描述为 “以极简主义当代 techno 之声描绘丰富情感的典范”。Vel 将经典声响的当代变奏佐以未来主义狂想以颂扬女性气质的迷人之处。

如今，Vel 已成为 Le Sucre 的常驻 DJ，并在电台 HÖR（Berlin）与 The Lot Radio（New York）；Fuse（布鲁塞尔）、Blitz Club（慕尼黑）、About Blank（柏林）、Aeden（柏林）、Rex Club（巴黎）、Carbone（巴黎）、Perron（鹿特丹）、La Belle Électrique（格勒诺布尔）、Transbordeur（里昂）等俱乐部大放异彩。
