AUSTRALIAN LOCAL BERTIE RELEASES FIRST SINGLE FROM DEBUT EP VIA PHENOMENA RECORDS

An uplifting, punchy, dancefloor ready house track, drawing on sapphic history and the artist’s personal journey.

Having established herself as a palpable force in the DJ scene, Naarm-based Bertie is announcing the long awaited single of her debut EP, ‘Carabiner’ on Melbourne/London label Phenomena Records. The first single ‘Carabiner’ launches the forthcoming EP this side of the year on November 16. 

Stylistically, ‘Carabiner’ draws from Bertie’s queer identity, love of groove and years of DJing, to combine the crunchy, punchy stylings of 90s house, with contemporary soundscapes and storytelling. Each track is a fusion of percussive beats, acidic motifs and euphoric highlights with an uplifting nature and groovy finish. As Bertie explains, there’s a multifaceted narrative behind the sounds:

“A carabiner is a coupling link that binds two things together. It’s a tool used by climbers to keep them safe should they fall into suspension, swinging side to side, until they find their grip once more. And most notably, it’s a sapphic symbol. One that took hold in WW2 as women entered the labour force. A multifunctional tool that became a secret signal for lesbians at a time when discreteness was crucial. One that wasn’t just about sex, but about connection, about finding community,” says Bertie.

“This is what I was thinking about when I wrote this single. The communities that make us feel understood, the movement of life and the movement of self, both the physical and the mental, and the connections that occur when people and music come together.”

The first single titled ‘Carabiner’ was built from noises created by the metallic clip - jangling, clicking and tingling. These sounds formed the first beat to which a melody was shaped, and three more tracks inspired, bringing the EP into fruition.

Single release out 16.11.23

Triple J asked me to contribute to their iconic summer mix series so I thought I'd combine all my favourite / most played tracks into one short/sweet mix. 

i can't help but smile thinking of all the memories of this summer as 2023 comes to close - seeing so many friends, dancefloors smiling, and of course the sun rising over the annual boorloo beach rave. This mix is a quick recording to capture some of the feeling of the last few weeks, as well as some of my standout tracks for the year.

I hope you like it!

Thank you to Kailyn for having me, and to you for a wonderful 2023 :)

~ About the artists ~

WVCHWY ~
WVCHWY is a Kalkadungu and Bidjara producer and DJ. WVCHWY (pronounced “which way”) is a proud Kalkadungu and Bidjara producer, DJ, and artist, who twists techno, trance, and house into raw, groovy soundscapes. Rooted in story and powered by heavy rhythms, their sound breaks away from traditional structures, chasing something deeper, heavier, and more alive.

This year we saw them ignite the dance floor with a debut set at Sonder festival combining their DJ and didj skills to create an unforgettable moment that set their standard as a certified selector and acid bass elite. Watch out for heaps more exciting productions and squelchy acid bass riddled sets.


Rino ~
Indonesian born, Melbourne/Naarm-based composer, DJ and producer Rino Darusman’s sonic world is at once meditative and energetic.

Spanning realms of soaring euphoria and hypnotic rhythms, Rino’s brand of electronic music is characterised by vast textures and tuneful melodies. Following a string of self released singles, Rino’s debut EP ‘Expanse’ and follow-up ‘Flow-on’ were released on Sydney/Eora-based label Gallery Recordings. 2025 sees the producer hone his sound further with ‘Running In Pairs’, an EP on Seb Wildblood’s LA / LDN label all my thoughts.


Stoke City DJ ~
Known for high energy and genre bending mixes, Stoke City DJ’s production comes to you direct from her bedroom studio in true U-Haul style. A sucker for fat bass-lines and a thick UKG snare, she dedicates this track to her best mate, as they sing the lyrics 20+ years on. Cohosting Naarm’s queer rave, Kiki Bouba, and with releases on local labels including Spinning Around, Love Above Records and Turning Tables - ADHD Edits was the logical next step.


PTMC ~
PTMC is a returning ADHD Edit contributor and longtime admired producer DJ hailing from the shores of Boorloo/Perth. Aside from a slew of impressive releases in recent years solidifying their signature warehouse bleeps and sunrise break sound, PTMC gifted us with a new club ready EP under the guise of DJ LUSH ICE, once again finding their way onto USBs across the globe.

DAWS ~
DAWS is a standout DJ for versatility, coasting between warm, euphoric day-time sets, and rhythmic, bass-driven sounds at night. Between a myriad of tempos and genres, her sound remains constant in creating uplifting energy and feeling.
