Some weekends I work at Bordello A Parigi where I take this opportunity to play one of my favorite radio stations, Couleur 3. It helps me stay in spirit with Switzerland, specifically the French speaking part. Particularly this one person named Bowmore who has their own radio show on it titled Club Selectors, showcases Helvetian talent that you should be paying attention to. Through this beautifully archived roaster is where this story begins in how I discovered Owelle.
Although rooted in Geneva’s modern day club scene, Owelle’s experimentation with sound and visual installations births a different take on current Electronic Dance Music trends. Diligent yet without boundaries. Comprising of her soft spoken voice and flowing pads reminiscent of the Rhône’s currents, holding each other’s hand to cushion the blow from her quaking basses and beats as she submerges you in the coldest waters of her world.
Steadily becoming a household name for locals and championed by international talent you might be familiar with, Owelle’s recent release on Creaked records have already made waves that drown out mischief. Despite meeting for the first time in person last summer, seeing her perform at her residency with e-garbage in Canal 54 or making her debut in Switzerland’s largest festival Paléo only further entranced us in excitement of her debut on Dee Dee’s Picks.
