In this episode of INSIGHTS, I am joined by Dis Fig, who’s genre bending blend of  industrial, dub and ambient has formed an  impressive catalogue of solo and collaborative efforts, notably her 2019 debut album ‘PURGE’, as well as ’In Blue’ with dub legend The Bug and her staggering new album entitled ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven’, which sees her monumental vocals and power electronics combine with the crushing doom of formidable avant-metal giants The Body. It gives me great pleasure to welcome Felicia Chen to the show!

Over the course of this interview, Felicia discusses formative experiences and influences ranging from karaoke, choir and MTV to Canto-Pop, Rancid and Destiny’s Child, as well as discovering the club music that would go on to influence her DJ style including Digital Mysticz, footwork and Jersey club and layering genres to create new forms. Next, Felicia reflects on the making of her debut album ‘PURGE’ five years on, working with The Bug and the making of ‘In Blue’, collaborating remotely and discovering a sound together, before discussing collaborating with The Body, the making of 'Orchards Of A Futile Heaven', bringing her vocals to the forefront and the album’s themes and imagery, concluding by highlighting some favourite music selections, future projects and forthcoming tour.

Clips of ‘To Walk a Higher Path’ and ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven ’ by Dis Fig & The Body from the album ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven on Thrill Jockey Records are used in this podcast.

Arthi & Friends presents: Harpriya - 18 December 2024

Judder presents the first EP of the year 2025: ‘Keep It Locked‘ EP – a collab of the two beginner producers @nattah_sound and @naprimer_1.

The release consists of one collab that gave the name for the EP itself, a remix on it from @oddkut, as well as solo tracks by Nattah and Naprimer.

This new mini-album has all the shades of up-to-date bass music – punchy breakbeat with oriental vibes, experiments at 140 bpm, seasoned with overdrive effects, airy leftfield bass and groove-filled percussion parts, referring to Baile Funk. Every British modern sound fan will certainly find something for themselves here.

Tracklist: 
1. Naprimer & Nattah  - Keep It Locked 
2. Naprimer - Baile Tek 
3. Nattah - Shutdown 
4. Naprimer & Nattah  - Keep It Locked (Oddkut remix)

Mastered: Kercha ( @thekercha )
