Sam GreenwoodWe premier Italian techno DJ and producer Lady Maru’s contribution to the 10-year anniversary compilation of Berlin queer collective and label ‘Gegen’ with her track Kill Ur Lobby.
Lady Maru best known for her post punk and EBM style tracks takes a different direction on this track as she returns to our sound-systems with a more industrial style affair. On the back of releases on Diffuse Reality, Revok Records and Industrial Complex as well as a revered collaboration release with Samantha Tongi, Lady Mary is going from strength to strength.
Our second premier of the 3 part VA is a banging industrial techno track with hypnotic undertones. The harsh and pounding drives the track as whirling synth bounces from side to side. Jarring claps come slapping in as they drive the track even further. The rave inspired breakdown brings the track to a boiling point before gyrating back down to a it’s raucous hypnotic essence.
The second volume of the compilation comes with tracks from techno house- hold names and scene favourites such as Paula Temple, Scalameriya, Esther Duijn, Femnyst and more.
Celebrating 10 years of existence, Gegen will showcase their past decade of parties into a newly founded label, by showcasing the artists that have been at the heart of the infamous party series.
The compilation is built on a sonic narrative arc, with releases growing harder, faster and harsher, mimicking the progression of a Gegen party. Gegen will be releasing the 3 parts every two weeks. Gegen invite listeners and friends old and new to a month long journey through the Gegen sound.
