Underground stalwarts Voodoos & Taboos make their Duality Trax debut alongside a remix from rising talent Bertie, set to drop on November 8th. Now on its seventh release, Holly Lester’s vinyl imprint blends seasoned pioneers with the next generation of producers.

A serendipitous moment at London’s E1 in 2023 was the genesis for the labels latest release, when DT label head Holly Lester unknowingly dropped a Voodoos & Taboos track only for the duo to walk in mid-way. Already known for their standout releases on iconic labels like Phonica, Bordello a Parigi, and Palms Trax's CWPT, this chance encounter sparked a creative connection between Holly and the pair.

‘Time Out’ kicks things off with swirling synths and the duo's signature alien electronics, set to a playful breaks infused rhythm and morphing bassline, as command and control rings out overhead. ‘Endless Game’ comes with the usual V&T trimmings; an infectious bassline and with a scattering of curious sounds and samples, with a healthy dose of italo-inspired groove - the type of track reserved for bringing a dash of joy to the dancefloor amidst a heads down body-moving groove.

On the B-side, Australian newcomer Bertie steps up with her remix of ‘Time Out’, following her breakout EP and high-profile remix by Ciel. In a short space of time, Bertie has already developed a signature sound injecting her productions with nostalgic 90s house and contemporary subtext; glued together by crunchy drums and a penchant for wide-eyed rhythms. Sticking to her guns, Bertie’s flip of ‘Time Out’ packs a serious punch, showing why she’s an artist on the rise.

The EP closes out with the psychedelic ‘All Action’ with its vocoder vocal samples, bubbling acid and teleporting top-lines. One of the most notable features of the duo's music is their ability to let things evolve over time, their music often accompanied by strong storytelling, an art that has been almost lost in today’s era of instant gratification; their instrumentation often taking on a life form of their own and dosed with surprises.

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, house, acid, prog, and when the mood is right, deeper and darker sounds.

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 (Black Coffee, Bradley Zero, Cormac, CC:DISCO, Denis Sulta, DJ Boring, fka.m4a, Kornél Kovács, Leon Vynehall, Patrick Holland, rRoxymore), 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.
