Night Shop Records is proud to present NSR002: @ritabass - ‘Reimagining’
Pre-order here: https://nightshoprecords.bandcamp.com/album/reimagining

Freedom, renewal, revival, release. ‘Reimagining’ is true to its name: a reinvention of Rita Bass. Across four offerings, Rita crafts her unique style of moody dance music. Marked by chopped breaks and warm basslines, sweeping pads and Rita’s layered vocal harmonies: this is ethereal bass. 'Kalinka' opens with an enchanting take on dubstep rhythms, a reinterpretation of the iconic Russian folk song of the same name. Venturing deeper and darker, ‘bassbassbass’ turns to a ravey 2-step groove. The title track ‘Reimagining’ is emotional jungle designed for sunrise catharsis, featuring harp flourishes by Genevieve Fry. Wobbling, glitchy, experimental bass weapon ‘Leah’ - named after Rita’s grandmother - closes the EP with electric energy.

Rita Bass - Reimagining [Night Shop Records]

OXY w/ bela - 17/03/2025

A phone call with a past mentor who at age 95 is still teaching piano, a memory of giggling at her transfixed mother photographing swans, a feeling of being floored whilst unearthing letters from her parents’ relationship. Exploring her most personal narratives to date, Laenz’s album ‘88 keys’ is suffused by the power of unwavering devotion - both towards others and towards lifelong study of music. Leaving behind the guilt of adolescent indignation and deviation from classical music towards fascination with leftfield dance music, the release circles back: a reverence to former piano teachers and the nurture they instilled in her.

Across ’88 keys’, loosely tethered memories and the intricate yet unpredictable sonic turns Laenz is known for are grounded through bass frequencies. On ’’11’ which samples recordings of Laenz’s last public performance of Bach’s ‘Chaconne in D minor’ arranged by Busoni, sustained solemnity is beset against misty, dubbed-out percussive explorations of piano acoustics. ’’24’ reminisces on lazy walks by Berlin canals, basslines ebbing hazily below spiralling hi-hats and caliginous melodies. ’9-30-91’ delicately re-casts one of the many love letters written by her father to her mother when they began dating, into a sonically distinct, tenderly stripped back vocal track. The lyrics read: ‘My dear, I miss you so much, I miss you deeply, from the bottom of my heart. Thoughts of you, occupy my whole heart, and every corner of my mind’.

Conversations, past performances, and archival recordings are run through iterations of radio transmission-reception, audio becoming irreversibly lost or altered into ambiguity. Each titled after a year, though not emotionally bound to it, the tracks are an aggregate of Laenz’s desire to calibrate them actively in her current memory—resisting any inevitable, obsolescent effects of time’s passing. In Laenz’s words ’88 keys’ ‘though a fraction of the appreciation I have for my parents, Carolyn Shaak, and Larry Graham, this project was from start to finish an ode to their impact. 

The singles ‘’11’ and ‘‘24’ are out on the 2nd and 9th May, ahead of the full album release on 16th May 2025.

Artist Bio:
Laenz is a producer based in Brooklyn, NY, working within radiophonic textures and caliginous dance music. Her work explores the sonification of indeterminate spaces, saturating abstract musical forms with intensely tender and personal observations. She uses vocals, radio equipment, and live processing in her performances, sonifying unknowable sounds into unsuspecting ears. She holds a Lot residency, and has released projects under Woozy, Early Reflex, Dance Data, and more.


A teenage prodigy from Dar es Salaam, DJ Travella is redefining African electronic music with his futuristic take on Singeli — a breakneck Tanzanian genre known for its frantic tempos and raw, unfiltered energy. Blending hyperspeed rhythms with glitchy, otherworldly melodies, his sound has caught the ears of avant-garde icons like Arca and Björk. With a cult following rising fast, he’s taken Singeli from the streets of Dar to the global stage, lighting up clubs and festivals from Berlin to Jakarta, São Paulo to New York.
