Lady Tazz returns with a second tastemaking volume of ‘Lady Tazz presents Hermanas’. It comes on her Mind Medizin label and features all-female techno talents from South America: Sol Ortega, Gina Demarchi, Vannesa Gnz, and Isabel Soto.
Bangladeshi-Canadian Lady Tazz follows up the superb first volume of this series with another carefully curated four-tracker that explores the vibrant South American scene. It has always been of great inspiration to the Bangladeshi Canadian whose own music has come on the likes of Rekids and helps invigorate techno with a dark, seductive, kinky new edge. Her aim is always to make, play, and A&R music that encourages people to cut loose, be whoever they want to be and release their inner kink. Like Part One, ‘Lady Tazz presents Hermanas (Part Two)’ is where she platforms the female producers who continue to inspire her.
Argentina’s Sol Ortega kicks off with the stylish ‘Mind is Clear’, which is five potent minutes of powerful linear techno. The drums hit hard beneath warped synth stabs and twisted vocal effects that will keep any party pumping. Gina Demarchi is also Argentinian but is based in Madrid, and her ‘Maniac Girl’ is more dense with a textured twist of percussion, metallic drums and coarse hits that race along over thumping kicks. It’s a physical and steamy cut that never lets up.
Medellín City’s Vannesa Gnz then steps up with ‘Smooth’, which pairs hammering hits and jacked-up drums with pulsing synths that bring sonar-like qualities. The musical drums and oversized hi-hats all demand the most physical of reactions in the club, and last of all comes Venezuelan-born Isabel Soto’s ‘Vita’. This one has a more Millsian and minimal approach with sleek rolling drums and searching cosmic synths journeying deep into the farthest corners of space.
We are presenting the closing track, ‘Vita’ by Isabel Soto.
‘Lady Tazz presents Hermanas (Part Two)’ will be available after the 29th of November HERE.
