Stagediver EP

Following her recent release with Live From Earth, Istanbul-rooted Nene H (@nenetreat) now launches her own label UMAY, aimed at representing SWANA and QTBIPOC artists. Inaugurated by Munich based trans activist BASHKKA (@bashkka), the EP titled Maktub (Arabic for ”its written”) materializes the artist's solo debut, and its trail blazes for queer club bangers. As BASHKKA states, ”Maktub is an idiosyncratic love letter to myself, my heritage and my community. My songs reflect the expedition of the past year and a half up until now and all the emotions that I gave myself space and fortitude to deal with and to also to relish in''.

BASHKKA, trained singer and songwriter, was born in Munich, but came of age amid the  New York Ballroom scene, which offered a different kind of family to the traditional Turkish one she grew up in. This dichotomy has been equally important in shaping BASHKKA’s identity as an artist—and is echoed throughout her solo debut which blends uptempo dance floor music with Kurdish vocal samples, alongside a Chicago-influenced bounce house piece featuring BASHKKA’s own vocals. The artwork by Copenhagen based Noah Umur Kanber complements these influences impressively, taking inspiration from Sumerian mythology and the non-binary goddesses Ishtar and Ereshkigal which can be seen in the motif. It's these two figures that BASHKKA has found most interesting in reflecting on her inner conflicts in regards to her personal history. Ishtar as the goddess of love and sexuality and Ereshkigal, representing the underworld. That is why BASHKKA’s debut EP turns out to be an intensely personal project, a love letter towards her foremost defining influences: her Turkish heritage and the queer community. She says, ”my sound hasn’t been as much of a thought through process and rather an echo of feelings passing through different margins, styles and all underrepresented communities..” 

UMAY starts as a non-profit label sharing the revenue with its artists, an open critique against industry standards, crude label politics and the dominant music business model that Nene H has had to painfully experience herself in the recent years. With Maktub, UMAY spotlights Nene H’s  close friend and ally whose presence in the European club community has recently risen at an astounding pace, as demonstrated by her presence at some of the most renowned clubs such as Berghain / Panorama Bar. 

The EP features four original tracks by BASHKKA, complemented with a remix by label mommy Nene H. Maktub will first appear digitally on February 15th via UMAY and is followed by a vinyl release and music video in the summer. Dedicated merchandise is available via Bandcamp, profits from the merchandise go to The Association for Support for Transgender Children (FSTB).

UMAY is Nene H’s newly founded venturesome platform for emerging music artists, aimed to build bridges and empower local culture, giving visibility for geographically underrepresented regions and artists with a strong focus on South, Western Asian and African artists as well as QTBIPOC. UMAY focuses on establishing trustful and long-lasting relationships with its community, in an attempt to defy the challenges emerging artists come across in the modern music business. While being completely transparent and non-profit, UMAY aims to stand aside in trustful partnerships with its artists and not in hierarchy. UMAY focuses on releasing genuine electronic music productions, innovative merchandise and a respectful representation of its artists backgrounds within the context of each release. Umay is the goddess of fertility in Central Asian Turkic mythology and Tengriism and as such related to women, mothers and children. Umay resembles earth-mother goddesses found in various other world religions.

MUSA Terpsícore V/A002 has the full involvement of strictly FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Trans and Agender/Asexual) artists - from the curation, production and mastering of tracks to artwork illustration. We understand the use of music as a political tool, hence why we have decided to take this path to ask the male-dominated industry, especially the electronic music industry, to start raising awareness of this fact and start giving more visibility and support to people who have always suffered from misogyny or social exclusion due to their identity.

Von Riu - Psykoz [Jerry Horny]

DOG002 comes baring three repetitious delights. Drummy and danceable girl noise crafted from the hands of label owner, Mabel, for the second EP of Doglandiya. Twisted funk, psychedelic basslines, and hypnotic aural anecdotes weave the fabric of this release. Each sound sways into a trance, a lullaby to the conscious mind and a groove dealer to eager bodies. 

Girl Noise includes a rework of Dionysus, an unreleased track created at the start of 2023 and featured throughout sets of that year. Dionysus is the Greek god of ritual madness, religious ecstasy, wine, pleasure, and partying. An appropriate mascot for dance music. His appearances throughout Greek mythology represent the animalistic part of us that’s hungry for pleasure. He is an agent of catharsis.

GIVE IN TO SIN. From within the long-locked tombs of lesbian lore smoke rises and draws its whispering curtain across the wide open sky...and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Secrets concealed by thick drunken clouds resurfaces naked truths in the last gasps of smouldering ashes. 

Oh you thought it would stay a secret? We’ve let sleeping lezzies lie long enough. It’s time to face the music. Welcome to BIG WHOOPS… Maara’s inaugural offering on her new label, Ancient Records. With this driving debut, Maara excavates the scrolls, archives, and dossiers upon which our past was built and our future depends. 

A wish for a world of sweet sapphic symbiosis—a fantasy, perhaps, or a waking dream? Nothing is promised except for right now. The past manifests in the present, both a blessing and a curse. Ancient Records fulfills your dark club fantasies as Maara unearths simmering secrets and hidden truths in a rapturous ushering in of a new era. Never forget where you came from, and just wait until you see where we’re going...

Von Riu makes his Proxima debut with Gore-Tek, a high-voltage fusion of
delirious, sexy, and proggy club sounds, engineered for full-throttle
dancefloor pressure. The Parisian producer sharpens his signature sound
into razor-edged, hypnotic grooves, injecting each track with an
electrified, biomechanical pulse.
Somewhere between cybernetic warfare and splattered synths, Gore-Tek
sounds like the aftermath of a rogue AI discovering club music—glitching,
twisting, and rewiring its sonic DNA with surgical precision. Industrial-
strength basslines meet liquid futurism, forging a dancefloor experience
that’s as menacing as it is euphoric.
