Rave Against the System

Made at a time when NYC was just getting back into the swing of things (RIP) The Ooga Booga EP is A fun collection of high octane tracks optimal for blending optimal for looping, optimal for fun! Just a couple of Tools ⚒️   - WTCHCRFT


Brooklyn’s favorite party rocker / prince of acid / crop-top enthusiast WTCHCRFT returns to Sorry Records with four brand new tracks jam-packed with speed groovin’ acid, uniquely functional rump shaker techno, 160 bpm breakbeat freak-outs, and powerhouse arena rave weaponry! The Ooga Booga EP [SR50] — our fiftieth catalog release and our last release of this long, hard, and wacky year.


Kind of got a bit of an American rave underground supergroup in the mix as well ! 😇 First off — our prolific and peerless friend Bored Lord is back for her fourth (!!) Sorry Records remix of 2021 following her insane contributions to our records from Tony G and PowerPlay (PlayPlay & C. Powers). She’s fresh off the release of her debut 12” The Last Illusion — the first signee to Octo Octa and Eris Drew’s T4T LUV NRG label. Her 100% originals set at Nowadays Nonstop this last July was one of the best dance floor experiences I’ve had all reopening. And of course we are so happy to have the great Nikki Nair on a Sorry project for the first time. The Atlanta-via-Tennessee producer and DJ has been a consistent benevolent force for the American underground for years and his raw power has been evident via records for Scuffed Recordings, Banoffee Pies, Lobster Theremin, Dirtybird, and TRAM Planet. Nikki’s the first out-of-town DJ we’ve ever been lucky enough to bring to NYC for a party, destroying Bossa Nova Civic Club last summer for our Bossa Radio collaboration with Worst Behavior. He’s a lovely person and we’re so glad to have his absolute kitchen sink 160 breaks rollercoaster “Nikki Nair’s Shook Mix” for this release.

Ahead of the release of a full length album by the same title, Honey Soundsystem records presents 3 breakout tracks on 12" vinyl from Octo Octa's "Where Are We Going?". Side A features the "new school" breaks pumper "Move On (Let Go) (De-Stress Mix) and the peak-time synth-heavy tear-jerker "On Your Lips." On the flip we share the 9 and a half minute aquatic house opus "Where Are We Going? Pt. 2"

“Do you feel better?” — is the line Maya Bouldry-Morrison aka Octo Octa repeats like a mantra on the final track of “Where Are We Going?” her newest and second studio LP. “It was the question every single person asked me after coming out as transgender,” she told us “Overall I do, but no, I don’t feel better at every moment, which is why the track slips out with a dour bass drone in addition to a beautiful pad. These days, both emotions are ever-present for me.” It is precisely this candor and intensity that immediately drew us in when Maya sent over the LP to consider for the Honey Soundsystem label. As DJs we are always looking for music that can speak in our sets, not just the highest caliber productions, but songs that represent the changing landscape of the queer dance-floor. “Where Are We Going?” reads like a diary. With track titles like “No More Pain (Promises To A Younger Self)” and “Move On (Let Go) (De-stress Mix)” you can’t avoid the autobiographical messages of these songs, but Maya leaves no booty un-shaken - this is still 9 four-to-the-floor house and techno beauties to rock your body. Her willingness to even model for the cover art of this LP, proved this is a side to Octo Octa we've never seen or heard before, an artist ready to let her fans experience an intimacy as deep as the synths and lead lines she has gained notoriety for. Applying her years of international DJ’ing, this album flows with intention and has effortlessly found its way back into our headphones and home stereo systems repeatedly - Pro-tip: you can even have sex to it. Needless to say this is the first time in a decade Honey Soundsystem has thrown itself at a contemporary LP and we know once you hear it, you will know where we are going…
