@cpowers promotes the power of community organizing in many facets of her life. She’s an interstellar producer and DJ as well as an active tenants’ rights activist in Portland, Oregon. Intersectionality is at the core of Cecilia’s perspective as a trans woman and is reflected in her organizing practices and her musical activities. Whether planning actions against unethical landlords with tenants & regularly hosting solidarity benefit parties in Portland, or fostering safe dancing spaces with her queer family when she lived in Savannah GA, Cecilia has found ways to expand upon the notion of a “community in motion”. She has released on @sorry-records, @sweat-equity, @c-g-i-records, @propertrax, and @nichenbump to name a few. 

This EP is four cuts of C Powers’ signature touch applied to a hybrid blend of electro, breaks, and bass. There’s high-octane energy as well as a power in the spaces between. These four tracks balance “maximum” and “minimum” and will slap the fascism right out of any environment they’re dropped in. 

“Skidlet” opens up the A side with a skippy, positively vulnerable melody that trades off with bass lines that are having a sensuous dance with each other in the middle of the mix. It builds to a big bubbly climax and brings you down for the next track, “ACAB Shimmer”, which brings the staccato acid line in right when you want it. Add in big bass boops and clubby kicks and spacey crescendos. Surefire dancefloor bombshell! 

Skip to the B side and “Sky Hammer” slams down with some funky and hard electro. Plenty of wonk on top for the trippy but still peak dance floor moments. “CompuRink” closes the EP out with some more electro-fied acid with a touch of vocoder vocal moments to set it off and end it right. All 4 cuts are dancefloor boomscapes!
