Our last mix of the year is truly a special one indeed! MEMCO alums Fabiola & Lorelei teamed up for a magical one-tow punch after DJing together for over 5 years now. 

Highlighted by a unique & cohesive selection, they managed to successfully round out this rather frantic year on a special note, captured through their mutual love for Electro, Bass & anything Detroit. 

Instead of verbally communicating, they were feeding off of each other’s energy during an intense & intimate recording session. Get ready to enter a space where the bass takes on an extra-terrestrial form of its own. 

When asked for the idea & theme behind this mix, Fabi & Laura deem the emphasis on robotic & alien-like sounds as freeing. The trippy, repetitive, & funky machine-like
soundscapes are, in contrast to us beings, not programmed to uphold any particular system. Rather, the patterns they follow serve the purpose of breaking down any barriers & inhibitions we might have. We‘ve have done our part already by dancing, feeling it to the core & simply “getting lost in the beat” - will you do the same? 

Starting out as part of the coolest collective in Michigan, they are now both based in Chicago & continue to explore & carve out their very own sound. Tapes X 009 - happy to have you <3
