DJ handbag is a Berlin-based DJ and a core member of @oozecollective, known for sets that radiate queer and transfemme energy. A longtime figure in the city’s nightlife, she brings a politically charged yet playful sound rooted in industrial techno, fused with handbag, queer house, and UK bass/garage. Her style mixes diva house glamour with dreamy, ethereal textures, creating sets that are euphoric, rebellious, and deeply connected to community. Each performance is a celebration of queer liberation, global underground culture, and the power of the dancefloor.

This mix is a tightly curated journey through contemporary house and its modern evolutions, blending soulful and vocal-driven tracks with high-energy, bass-infused cuts. It moves between intimate club moments and festival-sized peaks, balancing classic inspirations with fresh production. Expect musical depth, crowd energy, and the occasional unexpected turn. Highlights include Stella Browne’s “Every Woman Needs Love” (Full Intention Dub Extended Mix) and Öwnboss & SEVEK’s “Move Your Body” (Extended Mix).

BCCO Mix Series 663: DJ handbag

Indira has enlisted the trusted services of Dubfire, Marco Faraone and Flug for the killer 6th instalment of the labels creative DUO release series, out on Thursday the 14th August.

At the pinnacle of his games for 30 years, Dubfire needs little introduction. A Grammy winner and maker of classics such as ‘Emissions’ and ‘Ribcage’, the SCI+TEC label founder, and other half of the legendary duo ‘Deep Dish’, Dubfire will make his ARTCORE debut with his long-time collaborator Flug, before joining Indira for her residency at Hï Ibiza on 5TH September joining Cera Khin and Gray Cosmo.

Dubfire and Flug partner up on ‘In Trance’ to deliver a pacy, chugging composition fraught with cosmic tension throughout. A brewing concoction of galactic undertones and driving grooves, the track embodies the heady trance spirit present in much of ARTCORE’s back catalogue whilst still retaining the darker styles of its creators.

Prolific producer Marco Faraone is credited with over 50 releases on a host of key electronic record labels such as Rekids, Drumcode as well as his own UNCAGE imprint. However, his contribution to the forthcoming DUO release will be the first outing for the Tuscan-born house and techno maestro on Indira’s ARTCORE. His opening track, ‘Killa’ stalks into existence in cold and calculated fashion. An undeniable creeper, it features a dark low-end that methodically develops amidst a sparce soundscape of marching drum patterns, churning bass chords and simmering pad effects.

Marco’s second track on the EP titled ‘Artcore Sessions’, pays homage to the label’s ethos. Employing the vocal talents of H.A.N whose sonorous vocals bob along upon swells of shadowy synth lines, choppy percussive drive and kick heavy breakdowns.

Flug first appeared on ARTCORE in 2024 with his track ‘Racing Cars’. That same year, the Argentine released Magma EP with Dubfire marking the pair’s first collaboration and precursor to their debut DUO release. In August, he also made his debut for Indira’s residency at Hï Ibiza playing alongside Ben Klock, Clara Cuvé, and Nuke.

The second collab track with Dubfire, which also closes out this talent heavy EP comes in the form of ‘Weightless’. They both fuse tensely wound rhythms, off-kilter chords and serene pad effects to concoct a breezy, gravity defying composition that showcases both producer’s ability to craft nuanced electronic music to rival that of the more pummelling.
