You don't know the time you waste
Days Go By

Release the Ghosts

Days Go By

I'm gonna release the ghosts within you
I'm gonna run through your shadows standing still
Darkness will fall within us
It's hopeless to fight it now
You won't feel the same

Basse-Cour is proud to announce Release The Ghosts, a thrilling three-track EP showcasing the raw, tough, and visceral techno prowess of a rising talent in the electronic music scene, Canadian artist Queensyze.

Queensyze is a Canadian DJ, producer, composer, and filmmaker. Having produced in various genres throughout her career, she released her debut techno EP The Pretty Lights in 2019, with 2022's follow up Smells Like Acid given a glowing review by Resident Advisor. 

Release The Ghosts is a testament to Queensyze’s uncompromising vision and exceptional production skills. Each track encapsulates a unique and distinct sonic identity, bound together by their unyielding intensity and relentless energy.  

With a seething storm of warehouse and acid influences weaved throughout, Release The Ghosts delivers a provocative sonic journey. Each track immerses the listener in a pulsating, industrial-infused atmosphere, where relentless beats collide with distorted synths and haunting undertones, resulting in an intense and unapologetically visceral techno experience. 

A staple of the Vancouver underground scene, Queensyze is known for her innate ability to connect with her audience through her storytelling lens. Experimenting with records to create new sounds, new rhythms, and learned how to build energy and soundscapes within the limitations of vinyl, these techniques have now become her signature as her DJ sets move fluidly between the hard and subversive much like her original productions.

Queensyze Bio
Queensyze is a Canadian electronic music producer, composer, storyteller and filmmaker, described by iDJ Mag as “Canada’s fastest-rising techno star”. She released her debut techno EP, “The Pretty Lights” in 2019 which was supported by taste maker media like Resident Advisor and Mixmag, and it broke into the coveted top ten techno chart on Beatport. Since her breakout EP she’s released “Smells Like ACiiD, “Stay Up With You” and her latest EP “Release the Ghosts” hit two #1’s on the Techno Peak Time Driving and Techno Raw Deep charts on Beatport. Her next release “Wild” will be released on May 3rd, 2024.

Queensyze has an innate ability to connect with her audience through her storytelling lens. A skill she’s learned through experimenting with records to create new sounds, new rhythms, and the art of how to build energy and soundscapes within the limitations of vinyl, these techniques have now become her signature as her sets move fluidly between the hard and subversive much like her original productions.

Queensyze has a natural curiosity and enjoys exploring opportunities with her music, leading her to remix tracks for the video game “Need for Speed” and compose original music for films. She was once a member of the only Experimental Theremin Orchestra in Canada where she played her hand-built Theremin, droning out at experimental curated events for an entire year. Her unbound curiosity and innate interest in sound design empowers her to explore the boundaries of soundscape and experiment with how far she can take sound design as it merges with dance music.

Her sound in her productions is personal and reflective, it focuses on the idea of being subversive while also laying it down with raw emotion and untethered beats to keep a dancefloor moving. Her music is visceral and hypnotic, hard and raw, yet elegant and detailed.

“Attempting to put Queensyze’s music into a pigeonhole is a fool’s errand…such sonic flexibility is going to see her become one of those artists that both house and techno lovers are eager to claim as one of their own.”

iDJ Magazine

Queensyze’s influences are also intertwined with the places she’s lived and the energy of her surroundings. Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario it was here she first encountered electronic music, with the city’s drum and bass scene the first to make its mark on her musical ambitions. After teaching herself to mix and experimenting with production, she soon became one of Canada’s first released female drum and bass producers, releasing the first track she produced on a local Toronto label.

This energy from her hometown formed the early Queensyze bass and breakbeat sound alongside with her dedicated base audience, however following a move to Vancouver, British Columbia and most recently living on a tiny Gulf Island called Saturna, the expansive sparseness of the landscape inspires her to focus on the moody, tough and technically crafted 4×4 sounds which now characterize her musical output.
