Releases by ayla
There are two artists with the name Ayla.
1) Seminal German trance producer Ingo Kunzi recorded under numerous aliases including, Tandu Intrance, Karuma & Intrance feat. D-Sign, but is perhaps best known for his classic 1996 track 'Ayla', recorded under the same name. Kunzi started making music when he was just five years old, building his own studio in 1985 and engineering demos for rock bands before discovering electronic music.
Ingo's Ayla project was founded in 1995. When the debut single ‘Ayla’ was released it became an instant hit in his native country. It's worldwide success a few years later was due in part to the euphoric Taucher remix by compatriots, producers Ralph Armand Beck and Torsten Stenzel. It remains Kunzi's biggest chart success to date. The track was used in a McDonald's commercial, and appeared on the soundtrack of the British comedy film Kevin & Perry Go Large.
Ayla's second release was the single Atlantis. Four further singles followed: Ayla Pt. 2, a collaboration with Beck and Stenzel; Liebe (Love), a cover of the Cosmic Baby classic; Kunzi's self-confessed all-time-favorite Ayla track, Angelfalls - Radio Cut and Into the Light. These tracks, 'Atlantis' excepted, were collected on the successful debut Ayla album, Nirwana, released in 1999. The harder singles Singularity (Brainchild II) and 'Sun Is Coming Out' followed the LP.
In 2002 Kunzi put his Ayla project on hiatus. It was not until nine years later, in 2011, that he returned with the long-awaited second Ayla album, Unreleased Secrets.
2) The Malmö-based artist, singer, and music producer Ayla creates music where the foundation is her unique voice. Experiencing Ayla live is a dreamlike journey where the audience is invited into a universe of beautiful melodies, captivating rhythms, liberation, attitude, and playfulness. This fall, Ayla is releasing “Pussel” – her fourth self-produced album, taking the listener on a journey through the outer and inner puzzles of life, with the first single “Vem fan e du” already out. Over the years, Ayla has not only been diligent in her solo project but has also collaborated with other prominent artists and producers. Notably, she has toured with Cleo for several years. She has also appeared frequently with the music collective Random Bastards from Umeå and shared the stage with artists like Broder John and Promoe.
