The first full solo album on Dengue Dengue Dengue‘s newly launched Kebrada label will come from QOQEQA, real name Daniel Valle-Riestra.
Valle-Riestra, from Lima, Peru—like the label heads—forms part of a new generation of producers emerging from South America, with early releases on Lima’s Terror Negro Records and Eck Echo. AxuxA, his first album, is his debut on Kebrada, which is now based in Berlin, Germany.
We’re told that the record sees Valle-Riestra digging into his Peruvian and Andean roots, and sharing vibrant, electronic textures across an “11-track masterpiece.” Tribal grooves and Latin sounds are reinterpreted into a dream of sub frequencies and spicy rhythm sections.
Dengue Dengue Dengue launched Kebrada in September 2020 with a compilation featuring DJ Python, Debit, and Siete Catorce.
