The beta version of the Qilla Discord server was launched in 2021 to cultivate a digital space that aims to create an on-going dialogue with the underground electronic music community in a more personalised format.
One of the first activities we hosted for the members of our discord community was a production masterclass by Mumbai’s Brij Dalvi a.k.a Three Oscillators. The session included Brij sharing a detailed breakdown of his track ‘Hypnagogia’, which was released on the 8th volume of our mini compilation series, Forte and culminated into a remix contest open exclusively to the members of our discord server.
We received over 14 entries, which were then voted upon by the discord community along with the Qilla crew. The initial goal of the remix contest was to find a one winner who would get their track mastered and featured as a free release on Qilla’s Soundcloud channel however the contest helped us discover some great emerging young talent from across the country which is why four remixes were shortlisted to be released officially on all platforms.
“Three Oscillators - Hypnagogia (Remixes)” is set to be released on February 20th with remixes from Bangalore based, Anejath & Soop, Mumbai based C4GE and NCR based ActPurple. Alongside the release of this remix compilation, we will also be making our discord server public with the aim of expanding our community. Since the inception of the server, we’ve seen music makers and listeners alike, come together to converse, critique, find and share inspiration. In the coming months we will be curating more activities to keep this momentum going and build an ecosystem that helps us to connect, collaborate and support each other in a more hands-on fashion.
