MFSD Vol.08 - Lis Sarroca
06.06.2022

In an ever growing sea of sound one star that continues to shine bright is the prolific Lis Sarroca. The
Barcelona based talent continues to propel her dynamic dance floor ethos as she sets up shop for
another year of
positive growth. The half Mexican, half Spanish artist has an impeccable instinct for
uncovering the dustiest of gems, and truly embraces the journey of exploring music and welcoming new
tastes and textures to her artillery, never allowing herself to becom
e strained by genres.
You may already be familiar with Lis’ stellar output on heavyweight labels such as the legendary Chiwax
imprint with her “Booyah” EP, her output on the Shall Not Fade label (where she will be returning in
2022), Hot Haus Records, and
quite notably her own Maai Records which was launched in 2021. In its
short life Maai has already received love from across the board. A platform which allows Lis to express
herself to the maximum, but simultaneously push fellow artists and friends she mee
ts along the way.
Slotting in perfectly amongst Lis’ hectic release schedule is a single release which will land on the
acclaimed !K7 DJ Kicks Compilation from none other than Cinthie.
Inevitably Lis’ passion does not lie with just production, as her elega
ntly selected DJ sets are earning her
serious stripes amongst the tastemakers out there. Her ability to paint pictures via sound has earned her
sets at the likes of Fabric (London), Sisyphos (Berlin), Moog (Barcelona), several spots at Frankfurt’s
Rawax ev
ents, and her own Maai Records showcase in Mexico City. Moving forward at an alarming rate
Lis has already signed off a series of bucket list gigs for the coming period which will all be revealed in
due course.
When your work ethic is as strong as Lis’, po
sitive results are inevitable but it is her charming and
infectious energy she portrays via her music which means she will continue on this upward journey in the
coming years.

With a good few releases under his belt on labels such as Gene On Earth’s The Sound Of Limo, Gestalt Records, The Sound Of Steam or Craigie Knowes Bristol-based artist Boulderhead has built quite a formidable discography since 2020 and if pressing plants weren’t as busy as they are, the Welsh would have even more music of himself out there. Aside from releasing own music Henry James, Boulderhead’s real name, runs his own label Mint Tea, on which he’s been putting out VAs only so far, also including music from himself under his real name. However, since the label is a passion project according to Henry it does not follow a regular releasing schedule but now seems to be back with an EP and maybe more. In an interview with Torture the Artist Boulderhead speaks about the success of his latest release, the future of the label, how he likes his tea served and more. Additionally he’s mixed and compiled the latest edition of the art:cast series and it’s a deep-treat.

Paramida - 11 August 2019

Welcome to Timecheck ⏰, a mix series which will dive into old, sometimes overlooked music scenes. First up is everybody's favourite genre, Tech House from the early 2000's. 
But this is not just any Tech, these trax infused House, with hypnotic tribal drums, groovy disco basses, dark, atmospheric sound effects and haunting vocals. The jams could go on forever, creating the perfect vibe for the afterhours, when the first sunrays hit the dance floor. Originates from the US from legends like Halo Varga, Hipp-E, Onionz and DJ Jes, then it quickly spread around the world like a wildfire. 
While it didn't last long, and it got a bad reputation, mainly because the trax were quite simple, and very repetitive, (and yes I meme a lot with tech house🤷‍♂️) I think playing these joints at the right time, can really pull the crowd into another dimension. I recorded this mix last year, and it features some absolute classics like Halo Varga's Future, and a few hidden gems from my personal vinyl collection. 
I hope, when we can all dance safely again, I can play on or two of these jams so we can all experience the West Coast Sunrise movement. 🌄

Ps.: Feel free to ask for track ids in the comments. 🧡

Torture the Artist - your source for contemporary electronic music

Torture the Artist is a webzine, or a magazine made for the internet, geared towards those with a passion for contemporary electronic music, with subgenres including Techno, Tech House, Deep House and Eletronica, as well as a small amount of Indie and Alternative. Founded in 2014 by Holger Breuer, a German native and lover of the arts, Torture the Artist now consists of five team members from all around the world.

In addition to publishing interviews, music reviews, DJ charts and track premieres, the webzine hosts out a  podcast series called 'art:casts'. This medium gives DJs and producers the artistic freedom to highlight their different musical styles while not being restricted by factors such as setting, and connecting them to a wider audience. 

Being in its ninth year, Torture the Artist has gained a strong and active online support group, including music enthusiasts to label managers and artists themselves, creating a cohesive community with music as their bond.
