AUSTRALIAN LOCAL BERTIE RELEASES DEBUT EP VIA PHENOMENA RECORDS

An EP of uplifting, punchy, dance floor-ready house, 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 release of her debut EP, ‘Carabiner’ on Melbourne/London label Phenomena Records. Out now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp.

Track List:
Body
Carabiner
Motion
Here 4 u
Carabiner - Ciel’s Reoriented Dub (Releasing Soon)

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 EP. 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 on the EP also 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.

Listeners can expect a fifth track included in the release in February; a remix from none other than Xi'an-born and Toronto-based producer, pianist, and DJ, Ciel.

‘Carabiner’ EP marks the 8th release on Phenomena Records, a label dedicated to showcasing unconventional electronic music, inspired by themes of beauty and extraordinary experiences from the world we live in. Previous releases include IN2STELLAR, Sam Alfred and Baby G.

Release: Oct 26 2022

Are you Looking for Love? Advice? Good Luck? Then you’ve come to the right place. Peach gets closer to fully realising her sound with this debut on her new label. Born out of a tarot card reading in New York City, Psychic Readings is a space for all her truest forthcoming experiments.

On one side, Peach brings us Eclipse - a playful, punchy & positive ode to special moments. Synths shimmer between whimsical whirls of acid, and the bassline bounces us around in a state of bliss. The other side boasts a mood only Miss Cooky herself could be responsible for. The percussion is stripped back but that doesn’t mean it don’t slap! Sinking subs flirt with modular stabs for a simple yet sassy groove.

Both sides are a testament to her sonic explorations through her years as a DJ. They are a bouncy ballad to Ms Cookys Psychic Readings.

The Emotional Breakdown mix is catering to the softies out there, stripped back and filling up your cup, pure natural ecstasy.

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.

https://psychic-readings.bandcamp.com/album/fortune-two
Release: Nov 21 2023

Are you Looking for Love? Advice? Good Luck? Then you’ve come to the right place. The second release in the Psychic Readings catalog, Peach continues to explore her sound bringing us 3 tracks dedicated to the dance.

On one side, The Art of Casting Spells will bewitch you with its basslines. As they go from squelchy to stripped back, the track is an upfront yet ethereal ride in true peak time Peach style. Then, a track inspired by the sensation of butterflies in your sacrum - Flutter is a deeper cut for the heads down, introspective dancefloor moments. Both come complete with sassy stabs, moving pads & bouncy bongos - all of which are becoming a staple of her sonic palette.

On the flip, Gay Dreams brings us a starry-eyed escape into fantasies. Delicate synths flirt with the weighty bassline, as sentimental pads carry us into a slow surrender of emotion.

All the tracks are a testament to her many moods as a DJ. For club use or home listening, this is an EP dedicated to the dance.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Bertie is an Australian DJ, Producer, Radio Host and Party Planner who traverses the spectrum of groove. Her sets explore a signature mix of disco, soul, house, acid, prog, and hard groove.

Her musical journeys are exactly that; a guided exploration from start to finish. A fusion of percussive beats, acidic motifs, and euphoric highlights. The result is a synergistically uplifting experience designed to get you up and moving and leave you wanting more.

In 2022 Bertie brought this cultivated sound into the art of music production, releasing ‘Pillow Queen via Phenomena Records, then in 2024 her debut EP ‘Carabiner’ on the same label – four punchy, euphoric house tracks inspired by her queer identity, alongside a remix from Toronto’s Ciel.

She also co-founded Club Aqueous, an event series prioritising underrepresented local and international artists, and shares her ever-expanding collection of laid back groovers via her show ‘Cup of Bertea’ on Skylab Radio.

With an impressive array of festivals already under her belt (Pitch Music & Arts, Strawberry Fields, Sugar Mountain, Gaytimes, Daybreak, Wonder Mountain and Beyond the Valley), support slots for an impressive array of international artists (CC:DISCO, Denis Sulta, Bradley Zero, Cormac, Kornél Kovács, Leon Vynehall, Cormac, rRoxymore, fka.m4a, Patrick Holland), and a recent Australian tour under her belt, it’s clear Bertie’s just getting started.

Bertie respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which she works and performs today, and that sovereignty has never been ceded. She pays her respects to Elders past, and present. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
