If Bitter Babe was a perfume, her scent would be animalic—heavy musk, bergamot, worn leather and burnt spices. The Bogotá-born, Miami-bred and now Berlin-based artist has a heady, ultra-rhythmic sound that feels made for sweltering summer nights and feral fantasies. Combining pan-Latin styles with hard drum and industrial touches, she's crafted a singular mood that defines her DJing and production: hazy, high-energy and sensual.

Bitter Babe's ascent on the international circuit has been tied to her role in Miami's electronic renaissance. Whether it's proto-reggaeton, dense ambient or guaracha, her sets and productions are characterised by evocative low-end, darting synths and distorted frequencies that exude drama. With releases on TraTraTrax, Air Texture and SVBKVLT, she's cemented her position as an experimentalist, leaving the door open for more deconstruction and abstraction.

As cofounder of multidisciplinary project LATITUDES, Bitter Babe seeks to unify Latin America's electronic music communities. Her mixes are a great source for discovering under-the-radar acts from Peru, Brazil and beyond, some of whom are featured on her RA podcast. Starting with subby downtempo before moving onto swampy baile funk, technoid mutations of dembow and cheeky UKG, it showcases her expertise for trippy yet deeply kinetic grooves.

Object permanence is knowing that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be directly seen or sensed. This fundamental cognitive skill allows us to form and retain mental representations and was the trigger point for Welia’s eponymous EP.

Touched, consumed, and motivated by often contradictory emotions like anxiety, acceptance, and being at peace with oneself, Vienna-based artist Alexandra Anthea alias Welia presents a wide range of stylistic infuences ranging from ambient to breakbeat, UK bass and techno. Her sound cosmos is carried by metallic sounds and synthesizers, unexpected drum patterns and heavily manipulated vocal fragments, which she records herself and elaborately enriches with FX layers.
Although these elements are typical of Welia's previous productions, the latest release on Viennese label "sama recordings“ also explores new artistic levels and expands into more experimental directions by incorporating trap, drone or noise elements.

The four tracks on this EP were produced between 2022 and 2024 while traveling through Italy, Austria, and the US. Welia’s music is unsettling, morphes unexpectedly, and is constantly on the move. It serves as a re-interpretation of past memories while being aware of the present and future. For Welia, similar to the permanence of objects, memories of space and people retain their intensity and tangiblity as time goes by.

Not losing touch, nor sight.
Even when something isn't in direct view, it still exists.
