Mexican Andres Aguirre opener on his new EP for Forbidden Colours is awash with 909 percussion and repeated motifs, subtle circular riffs and some gentle keys before a simple bass and strings break it into a summery house cut. Vintage and reminiscent, spacey, electronic and sublime.

PREMIERE: Andres Aguirre - Rejuvenation [Forbidden Colours]

The artist known as Barbara is a multi-hyphenate and when exploring her musical work, it’s a true “choose your own adventure” - you can select one or several paths to join her journey.

As a DJ and performer, she began her career several years ago splitting her time between New York City and San Francisco, beaming her love of deep house, Italo disco, tech house, progressive house out on to dancefloors, and exposing audiences to new underground cuts and rare classics.

As a songwriter and vocalist, she has the gift for marrying relatable storytelling with infectious and layered melodies. She can go deep into the well of her life experiences as she does with her Good Crazy album release, Palm Dreams, which is a sonic movie delivered through 15 tracks. 

As a producer and music industry boss, she will impress you with the pace she operates and how she omnitasks. The following artists recently found themselves collaborating with Barbara in various cities: Nhii and Lefti in New York City, Model Man in London, and Modular Project in Milan. With San Francisco based Ed Hoffman she’s released sing-along house music anthems such as “Hey Gurl Hey” (Data Transmission) and “Feet Money” (Dirtybird Records). She’s stepped into the spotlight, leading her own label and brand Good Crazy (distributed and marketed by Paradise Worldwide), but expect to hear her productions on a wide range of important dance music imprints as she continues to produce music with these talented artists.

I have a studio full of instruments i don't know how to turn on. I play the Piano and drums and love a bit of techno and house.

music to listen to while wandering on the moon
//
from downtempo to disco, with funkiness and synthesizers in between,
from ambient to experimental, with weirdness in between,
from sensuality to techno, with an artificial paradise in between,
from the 70s to the present, with the silence and the trains in between
from the ground right up to the moon, with the whole cosmos in between.
