Elisa Elisa - What about me EP
1. Lift me up
2. You no good to me
3. Whistle me

Franco-Algerian musical nomad Elisa Elisa lands on Heist with her debut EP ‘What about me’ full of heavy drums, thrilling acid lines and her own dreamy vocals  

With a wild fusion of musical roots, Elisa Elisa has found her sound in emotive, percussion driven house. She uses her own vocals to add atmospheric depth to her tracks and with a knack for acid lines and driving chords, her tracks have the type of energy that could keep you going all night long. Her music first popped up on our radar after her releases on Heat Up (topping the charts with her debut release), and He.She.They with the track ‘Girl I got you’, that got rinsed by the Heist crew since its release. Her recent release on Melé’s Club Bad records, Panorama bar gigs and a feature in the book ‘Lady of the House’ about women in electronic music really helped cement her position as a rising voice in modern day dance music. 

The ‘What about me’ EP kicks off with warehouse anthem ‘Lift me up’. Roughed up drums and toms set the pace while Elisa Elisa chants in loopy fashion ‘Our rhythm is moving’. It’s a fitting vocal for this track, that reaches its full energy when it breaks down into ravey stabs, uplifting vocal chops and a nasty acid line. 

The original of ‘You no good to me’ takes a more stripped back approach and sees the artist dive into a rave-tinged drum workout with added vocal chops and a killer acid line. The EP closes off with “Whistle me”; a deep burner with a Midwest-inspired synth progression, and -of course- whistles.   

As a bonus, we’ll be releasing an amazing remix of this EP just before summer by man of the moment Melé. It’s fitting that he was so enthusiastic about this release and chose to remix ‘You no good to me’, since he just released an EP by Elisa Elisa himself on his excellent ‘Club Bad’ imprint. His version is a bubbly electronic affair that has his worldly percussive style all over it. He cleverly chops Elisa Elisa’s vocal and adds layers and layers of tropical bad-assery on a track that grooves like Brazilian carnival and packs a punch like the Liverpool warehouse parties Melé grew up with.  

There’s a great crossover energy in Elisa Elisa’s debut on Heist between all the good things of house music, acid and African rhythms and we’re excited to have her on the label.

For centuries the spiral has been used by humankind as a metaphor for the great journey we call life. It's also a symbol of growth, progress and evolution, because of the way it can be drawn forever.

If you look close enough - the spiral is literally in our DNA, but also the shape of galaxies, hurricanes and it can be found everywhere in nature as the Fibonacci sequence.

Physical and spiritual energy always flows, powering us and leading us forward through love and illumination. And, how often dosen't a situation spiral out of control. One event cause another, and there's nothing you can do about it. 

So take a step back, close your eyes. Breath in, breath out. Let's get swept away by the bongo drums, the Roland 101 baseline and the mystical, divine choirs. Let's just go with the flow and see where the spiral takes us. 

Spiral is the third release from DJ and producer duo Very Addictive on the label DISK Records, which the duo founded in 2017.
