The much vaunted DJ and producer debuts on KNTXT with her Lost Angeles EP, a superbly powerful four tracker that is perfectly at home on this agenda setting label.ONYVAA is an LA based artist who has been on a swift rise up through the global techno ranks in the last couple of years. She brings classy Detroit, melodic and dub influences to her music, and her raw analog aesthetic always helps ensure her stylish tracks bring plenty of atmosphere to go alongside her strong modular live-sets. Now, she steps up with a much anticipated debut on Charlotte de Witte's KNTXT label having struck up a personal friendship with the influential artist.Says ONYVAA, 'Lost Angeles was inspired by my time back home in LA and things feeling a bit foreign to my everyday life pre-covid. I'm super grateful for all of Charlotte's support and really proud to be a part of the KNTXT family. Hoping to play these tracks out on the dance floor soon!'Opener 'The Way It Is' wastes no time in laying down a heavyweight techno groove that is run through with edgy, laser-like synth riffs. It's an all consuming wall rattler that will blow clubs away. 'Lucid' is a darkened techno roller again lit up with expertly designed synths that are bright yet menacing as distant vocal sounds add another layer of tension. It's an all out acid attack on 'LXD' which places you at the heart of a rave, strobe lights flashing, smoke in the air, darkness enveloping you. The title track closes out at hyper speed, with turbocharged drum programming, interwoven bass and clanking industrial motifs all getting you thoroughly in the zone.Says Charlotte, 'I met Shelby for the first time after a show in Athens. We visited the city the day after and instantly became friends. Whenever the opportunity would arise, we'd spend time together. I love being around the ball of energy that is Shelby and I'm beyond excited to have her and her music on my label. Expecting big things from her!'This is a fantastic new signing for KNTXT and surely the start of even bigger things for ONYVAA.Tracklisting:
