Sometime around 2011, Christelle Gualdi discovered the delights of the dancefloor. Up until that point, her career under the Stellar OM Source alias had been a tale of self-released oddness, experimental electronic jazz, fluorescent ambience and analogue-heavy drone. What pushed her towards the pounding, distorted rhythms of techno and ragged electronics of acid house is unclear, but she embraced it in a big way. After releasing the throbbing Image Over Image 12” via Rush Hour No ‘Label’, she duly signed to New York’s admirable RVNG Intl. and delivered her most accessible set to date, the acid and intelligent techno powered Joy One Mile. Typically raw – you’d expect nothing else from someone who has long been an advocate of outboard hardware – the album flitted between moments of intoxicating intensity, scattergun dancefloor dynamics and joyously colourful fusions of bright synthesizer melodies and snappy machine percussion.

French musician and producer Christelle Gualdi is not your average synth-fetishist. While her reputation was forged through a cluster of Stellar OM Source albums, many self-released, which played around with the almost endless potential of abstract electronica, her musical background is impressively academic. Before moving towards electronic music, she was a double bassist in the Konigin Katharina Stift Schulorchester, studied music theory at Universite Paris VIII, and spent time at the Conservatorie de Paris.

Techno is rarely as thrilling as when it shocks and surprises upon repeated listens. After all, that’s what the genre was built upon; a futuristic mantra that sought to push forwards and expand the emotional and creative horizons of electronic music. Of course techno as a defining tag can mean many things in this day and age, from granite-hewn monochromatic slammers to beatless, synth-drenched sound baths, but this new record from Stellar OM Source seems most closely aligned with the lysergic funk of Juan Atkins in his earliest form, back when techno was a much more compact concept.
