This album was released on Swizz label Peak Records in March 2012 and the style can be described as a mixture of mid-dark and forest-trance. All the tracks seems to follow a specific recipe in that many of the sounds and leads used are somewhat similar but not the same. And at the same time it is nice to hear artists that invent their own style and then sticks to it without becoming boring. Ajja is a very talented musician/producer and all the sounds are polished and really fits the bill. His music is filled with weird twirls, spirals, twists and turns, and really have a crunchy sci-fi edge to it! This album really takes the listener on an interesting journey and I advise people that like similar styles to give it a try. I don´t think you will be disappointed. Favourite-tracks are Bazinga, iFriend, Sidewinder (Flying Mix) and Bayaya!
AJJA S.F. LEU splits his time between being a
musician/producer/dj, Peak Records label manager, graphic artist and a
tattoo artist. He was born in London in 1975, and while growing up with a world-renowned family of tattoo-artists and travellers, he started to play guitar
when he was nine years old, at first really into rock’n’roll and
funk. By his
mid-teens, he had composed, produced and recorded over one hundred
original songs and he performed with a number of live bands in different
countries and continued to create music and release rock albums for
another decade.
At the end of the nineties, his interest gradually shifted towards electronic music, and in 2002, AJJA and musician friends Master Margherita, Dymons and Flooting Grooves created The Peaking Goddess Collective, a chill & psytrance band that fuses live instruments and digital technology. After performing in many parties and festivals and releasing tracks on many compilations, their debut album “Organika” was released on Peak Records in August 2007. In the summer of 2003, AJJA, in collaboration with his partner, visual artist Tanina Munchkina and musicians Dj Gaspard and Master Margherita, founded the psychedelic trance label Peak Records. The same year saw the birth of Yab Yum, the fully digital project shared by AJJA and Dj Gaspard. In 2005, AJJA started a solo project under his own name and he released his first solo night-time track in 2007, followed later the same year by his debut album “PSYCHOGENICA”, on the Irish label Syncronize Records.
