Tapes X 022 - Formella

Known for her bassy sound heavily influenced by all things UK , Formella (@gaia-formella) finished up the first Femme Bass Mafia mentoring cohort in 2021 and is now roaming freely across the dancefloor to bring nothing but joy and ecstasy. Watch out for this one!

Formella - Radio80000 Takeover - 16 April 2022

Not much is known about @gaia-formella 's early life. As the legend goes it was an evening that held a metaphysical air, quite how something so nebulous can be remembered up to this day is open to conjecture. The tale persists that the acid chords of day were bleached in the dark iridescence of the Berlin nightfall and the stars were flung out, like crumbs from a picnic blanket onto the purple-black cloth of dusk. The moon rose over the Mega Buff Mansion, setting beasts and breakbeat players howling alike, and the crooked hands of linden trees clawed at the illuminated clay ball, trying to drag it back down to swampy depths. Through the mist walked Formella, looking for a dope beat. Not quite the downcast pariah she had been seen as, she was now a woman on a mission, the despair of her past lay behind her, and her future stretched out on the warped paths ahead. At the crossroads where four dusty black roads met, Formella dropped to her knees summoning the might to meet with her maker. She stretched out her USB stick and up rose Lucifer with a bargain in tow. For the cost of Formella’s soul, Beelzebub would bestow upon her musical dopeness. She arrived at the Mega Buff Mansion in the autumn shadows like a champion prodigal daughter; a DJ virtuoso, the crowned queen of ravey bass and acidic trance… till the Devil took back what was rightfully his.

Aired live on 05 October 2020 from the Mega Buff Mansion

Sound Bathing w/ Formella | Shella Radio 18.06.2024

Made for @feeybicep [FMB MIXTAPE 242]

This year I was lucky enough to play on the truly iconic IICON stage in Block9 at Glastonbury Festival so decided to bring a slice of it to this mix – “One Hour Of IICON” – for those asking for a recording 💘

I was opening the stage for the night for 2.5 hours – including soundtracking the sun setting - so it’s been an absolute mission to re-record some of that slow build set into <60 minutes. As always this mix prioritises new music from underground producers but also showed respect to the originators with a couple classics 🎖️ I hope you enjoy what’s in here!
