For our forth release, T4T LUV NRG present an e.p. of two beautiful songs and one evocation by label co-founder, DJ, and producer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison). “She’s Calling” is the third piece in Octo Octa’s two-year exploration of the connection between music and ritual, closing the loop on themes explored on her “For Lovers” ep (Technicolour, 2019) and full-length album “Resonant Body” (T4T LUV NRG, 2019). 

While many describe dance music in terms of escape, for Octo Octa and many others like her, dance music is about connection. The connections we feel on a dancefloor are transformative, but in time spent alone, dance music remains a powerful tool for connection with nature, with ourselves, and with something ineffable that feels like magic. The title track, “Goddess Calling,” captures a moment of such revelry, a result of the union of sound and ritual.  

Maya wrote the second song, “Find Your Way Home,” in early 2020, a few weeks before she cancelled her tour and headed back to the States because of the pandemic. She originally intended the title as a metaphor, the journey being internal, but the title would prove to be prescient. She made the song in order to take a trip into herself, to bring herself peace during an intense time.

Many religious and mystery traditions employ the use of uttered word formulas as a way to bring something into your life. “Spell for Nature” is Octo Octa asking in her own voice to connect with nature personified in the form of a goddess. The recording is about the moment when she saw something she knew was there all along. When she peaked behind the curtain and found something enveloping and eternal. 

Poem:
There’s a light in the center of the woods
A bright fire seen through the trees
We’re around it gazing into the flames
She’s brought us here
A bell chimes
She’s asking you to come as well
We’ve heard her voice since the beginning
And You’ve been listening your entire life
She’s calling

50% of the profits from the album will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

Y’all ready for a Lone Star legend? ZYLER, a native Texan who’s spun his beats across nearly a dozen countries, has been grooving the electronic music scene for over a decade, drawing inspiration from genres like deep house, organic house, techno, and funky beats. He’s been fortunate to perform in vibrant cities such as Austin, San Francisco, Boston, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Croatia, and Andorra, where he’s always the very first dancer on the dance floor, setting the vibe and inviting everyone to join in the groove.

ZYLER pours his heart into producing music, sharing his tracks on SoundCloud, where he’s grateful for the fans who connect with his ambient and melodic sounds. He’s also honored to hold a residency at Groove Andorra, where he aims to create warm, vibey nights filled with rhythm and joy. Known for his eclectic style that blends down-tempo, trance, and hard-hitting beats, ZYLER finds happiness in crafting sets that feel like a musical journey.

Preference for wave forms that bounce, shimmer, slide, glide, soothe, bathe, caress, massage, delight, that move the hips from side to side.

Classically trained from adolescence within wind ensembles, jazz groups, symphony orchestras, and church choirs, he also is cultivated with tremendous inspiration from blues and southern rock popular in his native Austin.

Upon discovering deep house, tech house, and rhythmic electronic dance sounds his house music emerged ready for enjoyers wherever he plays.
