Max HeyraudToday we premiere a track from Bulgarian native, Gabriella Vergilov. The rising star brings her new EP ‘I Woke Up Happy’, arriving via her new GAMA label on Friday. We premiere the track ‘The Choices We Make’, which lyes on subdued percussion and plucky synths form the basis for a monologue combining spoken and sung lyrics.
Gabriella Vergilov is a Bulgarian DJ, producer, and singer based in Copenhagen, where she is a regular at Culture Box. Having released on Ben Sims’ Symbolism, Dustin Zahn’s Enemy Records and many more, Vergilov now announces her latest EP, ‘I Woke Up Happy’, arriving via her new GAMA label this September.
Created and curated by Gabriella Vergilov and Mads Lerager, aka BRAVER, GAMA is a new Bulgarian-Danish label. Primarily, but not exclusively, focused on releasing their own productions, the label offers the duo an outlet for self-exploration within house, techno and beyond.
Across the imprint’s debut release, Vergilov twists her vocals into the sounds of traditional house and techno to form something entirely her own. It show’s an intimate and veracious approach to Gabriella’s work. The release is totally unique, and quivering transparent throughout the EP.
‘The Choices We Make’ is a deep and subdued trip through crawling synth lines, sloshing baselines and idiosyncratic vocal’s. It portray’s a personal and deep-seated look into Vergilov’s mind. Leaning on trippy delay swell’s and meandering breathe’s, the track gives a tribal feel through it’s chanting like vocal work, this already feel’s like an empowering techno anthem even in it’s infantry stages.
