written by the partae

Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?

In Copenhagen. The live Music scene is pretty diverse. So many different styles and types of Artists to check out.
Overall i would say the danes are very into anything 90’s. 90’s r&b and fashion are a Big thing, just Like the rest of the World i guess.

Please tell us about your upbringing and how it has effected your life and music:

I grew up in hippy communes and was always around a quite diverse mix of people. I gravitated towards the more 70’s phychedelic vibes and OL School hip hop, so when i started doing Music it seemed pretty logical to fuse the Two.

How did you first start playing music?

I started reciting poems and little raps from the Time i could talk.
I had a very vivid imagination and i would tell alot of funky stories about other planets i visited in my mind, and these stories later became songs.
My favorite hashtag is #planetcool which is Where i spent most my time in my stories. Its a wonderful World of loveliness Never loneliness.

Who are you listening to at the moment?

kelela, Benji flow, The Internet, kendrick lamar, afrikan boy, kojey radical, The Confect

What or who influences your sound and songwriting?

Probably my uncle who is a fantastic rapper and Who taught me How to flow nicer.
Also the Beatles, childish gambino, lauryn Hill, Anderson paak, Beck and On my latest track “keep the light On” Anita baker.

What have your highlights been of 2018?

So many! But performing at Roskilde festival was dope! So many people Going crazy and vibing together was amazing.
Doing my first ever Tour in Denmark, which was my first Tour anywhere tbh haha.
Going to Ghana and shooting my video with my homeboy manifest for “Roll it out” was life changing. I had the Best time ever!
Meeting my idol lauryn Hill and learning How to cook dal properly.

What do you have planned for 2019?

Ooh i got another single release beginning of the year and then my debut album in the middle of the year.
Alot of live shows.

What do you like to do away from music?

I looove tea. I have so much tea. Im gonna drink alot of tea over Christmas.
I even have an “iris gold – Color trip” tea, made especially for me by this very fancy tea Maker in Denmark.

What programs/instruments do you use?

Erm garage band and my pen and paper. Not very exciting boooh

When and where are you playing next?

Im doing a few tv things now towards Christmas, which i guess Will be online.
Then in january eurosonic festival in the netherlands and a mini Tour in austria and Hungary.
End of February i should have a gig i London actually.

Favourite food and place to hangout?

Haaaas to be my Aunty kates restaurant “kates joint” in Copenhagen. Best food ever. From all over the World. Jamaican, Indian, thai, South african, lebaneese…

DANNY BONNICI & THANKYOU CITY
Festival NewsMusic News

Balance Music release The Golden Key, the latest project from artist Danny Bonnici in collaboration with Melbourne duo Thankyou City.

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

Danny Bonnici has been a key name in the Melbourne music scene for the past 14 years. Honing in on his ability to produce rich and emotive deep house with perfect execution, he has appeared on international record labels Global Underground, YK4, Vicious Vinyl and more.

His productions both collaborative and independent have earned him industry attention, gaining a Dance Music Award nomination and earning an Aria nomination with his 2003 track ‘Ride’ written collaboratively with Luke Chable. Working with modern electronic artists Kimbra and Bertie Blackman, his original work has even featured in sets by artists such as Sasha, John Digweed, and Herman Cattaneo.

Brothers Scott and Brent comprise the Melbourne based electronic duo that is Thankyou City. With over a decade of experience, the pair has been turning heads both with their mixing and their original productions, and have released works on Open Records and Sol Selectas record labels. This most recent release on Balance Records comes at the tail end of a year spent playing some of the most well-respected boutique techno festivals Australia has to offer, Chi Wah Wah Town, Babylon, and My Aeon.

Whether seeing them play a live set or listening to their latest compositions, Thankyou City has become synonymous with rich and well executed deep house music. This latest release from the pair sure to expand their career to new heights.

This debut collaboration from Danny Bonnici & Thankyou City is a beautifully constructed product of diverse musical backgrounds, and ultimately a symbol of the expansive creative talent within the city of Melbourne. 

The first track of the EP ‘Golden Key’ fuses tribal-esque organic percussion, with a ground shaking sub and soft expanding pads. The track has enough experimental elements to it to make it feel like a breath of fresh air, whilst still maintaining the key elements found in all good tech-house music.

‘Awakenings’ harbours these same key elements but feels much more alive, a stabbing arpeggiated synth weaving listeners through a wide percussive soundscape, a string ensemble, and widely dispersed sound effects.

Featuring a remix from Danny Bonnici’s longtime friend Luke Chable, the final track of the EP completely reshapes the opening track ‘Golden Key’, still featuring those mesmerising softer elements, but refocusing the track on the driving beat and the cleanliness of the percussive breaks.

This body of work overall features so many rich emotive elements, their careful selection of synthesizer upon complex chord progressions matches up perfectly with the heavier side of the tracks within the bass and the drums. It’s a succinct summary of how capable these artists are at creating feel-good dance music of continually high quality, this is arguably their best work yet.

Tracklist

1. Danny Bonnici & Thankyou City – Golden Key (Original Mix)
2. Danny Bonnici & Thankyou City – Awakenings (Original Mix)
3. Danny Bonnici & Thankyou City – Golden Key (Luke Chable Remix)

Danny Bonnici & Thankyou City’s ‘Golden Key’ is out now through Balance Music.

Theus Mago and Local Suicide deliver a dark but infectious EP with ‘Komm Ins Loch’

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

After a hugely prolific year for the Local Suicide duo, which has brought us collaborations with names such as Low Manuel and Mijo as well as DJ sets across Europe and Asia, they are joining the Mexican label Duro with a three-track EP as a joint effort with the label’s owner Theus Mago. This Mexican producer comes off the back of a similarly hectic year, most recently releasing the ‘Inertials’ single and the acclaimed ‘Ella’ EP, featuring remixes from Arthur Johnson and Il Est Vilaine. This collaborative EP is a masterful blend of styles, merging Local Suicide’s characteristic catchy techno-disco sound with the darker notes typical of Theus Mago. His signature style is that of freeform, synth-driven, moody techno that brings together intricately interwoven influences from across the spectrum of electronic music, providing a perfect foil to Local Suicide’s infectious rhythms.

The original mix of the EP’s title track brings us straight into a snappy percussive beat offset by punchy synths, tempering the flowing grooves with deeper, more grounded vibes. Over the top we hear the invitation from Local Suicide’s Brax Moody to “komm mit mir ins Loch”, or “come into the hole with me”, an enigmatic message that calls for us to fall deeper into the world of sound that they are creating. This is followed up by a package of two remixes from Berlin-based producer and Aleph Music label owner Aeraand versatile Mexican techno producer Colossio. The former provides a rework that extracts the energy from the soaring highs of the track and redirects it into a far grittier and more driven number, whereas on the flipside Colossio delivers an interpretation that is jacked up to the max, creating a powerful and danceable tune.

This release is brought to us by Duro, the rapidly growing Mexican label responsible for some of the most exciting releases in Latin America over the last few years from artists such as Mijo, Bufi and Ambiance. Having already received plays from Solomun in his Tomorrowland set and Âme in his b2b set with Dixon at the Innervisions Off Sonar party in Barcelona, the anticipation for this release is high, and when it lands it will not disappoint. Local Suicide and Theus Mago’s ‘Komm Ins Loch’ EP will be released on the 18th of January 2019, and snippets are up now on Duro‘s SoundCloud channel for immediate news sharing.

Tracklist:
01. Komm Ins Loch
02. Komm Ins Loch (Aera Remix)
03. Komm Ins Loch (Colossio Remix)

The two new collaborations, can be heard here, and come courtesy of American producer Machinedrum and rising Australian future pop duo Kult Kyss which Rromarin makes up one half of.

JPEGMAFIA PERFORMS “THUG TEARS” TAKEN FROM ACCLAIMED 2018 ALBUM ‘VETERAN’ LIVE ON A COLORS SHOW

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

“JPEGMAFIA rules — he produces harder beats than anyone and raps with flesh-eating venom for the evil, the hypocritical, and the competition.” – FADER

“ODB at his most formless would be an impossible model for most artists in any century. For JPEG, it’s just the starting point.” – Pitchfork

“JPEGMAFIA makes murky lo-fi rap into something exciting” – Stereogum

Baltimore rapper and producer JPEGMAFIA serves up a volatile yet utterly captivating performance of his track “Thug Tears” for A Colors Show. Nest HQ wrote of the performance: “Backed in magenta, Peggy unleashes his popular fury to the lone mic in the studio. His aggressive and practically hysterical show is laced with his one-and-only talent of literally making you hear his pain”.

2018 has been a breakout year for JPEGMAFIA. Since dropping his latest album Veteran in January – which has garnered nearly 10 million combined streams to date – and releasing Backstreet Boys “cover”‘Millennium Freestyle’ in July and “Puff Daddy” in November – JPEG has become one of the most well-reviewed critical breakouts this year, with praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, The LA Timesand Interview Magazine, among other tastemakers.

Born in New York to Jamaican parents, JPEG spent the bulk of his childhood in East Flatbush, Brooklyn (deeply rooted in West Indian culture and black pride) and most of his mid-teens in deep south rural Alabama, bouncing from place to place due to rough circumstances at home.

After graduating high school, JPEG joined the military, deploying to different parts of the world, meeting fellow artists and adding new elements to his producing and rapping repertoire. Now based in Los Angeles, JPEGMAFIA’s sound is dark but not without a humour that makes things even more uncomfortable. His role as villain or satirist, hood protector or nihilist is intentionally hard to put one’s finger on.

VBX Amsterdam confirm first shows of 2019 – Ricardo Villalobos, RPR Soundsystem, Spokenn, Ingi Visions, Benny Rodrigues & more

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae
Christmas comes early with the news that leading underground promoters VBX will be hosting two more of their famous parties in the first part of 2019. Taking place at their favourite venues in Amsterdam, Shelter with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, RPR Soundsystem, Ferro, Reiss, Ingi Visions and many more all providing the intriguing soundtracks.

VBX are known for throwing unique, carefully conceived parties in Amsterdam’s most atmospheric and important venues. As well as making a big mark at ADE each year with their much loved offerings and afterparties, they also host plenty of cosy, intimate parties for smaller crowds who like to get down.

First up in the New Year is Ricardo Villalobos and Ferro on 25th of January at Shelter Amsterdam, the immersive basement space that has been the site of many great VBX parties over the years. Almost a year ago the “shaman of techno” – after nearly 5 years off absence from the Amsterdam club circuit – brought his A-game to Shelter Amsterdam and mesmerized everybody in attendance. Teasing records for minutes on end before unleashing them in all their glory, cutting between techno, house, breaks and throwing perfectly timed curveballs with a flair of effortlessness. He ended up playing several hours longer than originally planned because he enjoyed himself so much. What’s more, Ricardo is now a regular VBX guest who always brings his unpredictable and excellent a-game, and assured resident Ferro knows exactly how to work his crowd.

Next up is the cult favourite minimal masters that are RPR Soundsystem, who bring their intricate and intoxicating rhythms to Room 1 of Warehouse Elementenstraat on the 15th of February. This venue is another regular haunt for VBX and a historic Amsterdam space with industrial halls and large immersive rooms that come alive with the VBX production. Joining RPR will be VBX resident duo Spokenn (Ferro and Reiss) to ensure to get the VBX vibes right on track. As well as this there be a delightful Room 2 takeover from fellow Dutch promoters and label Slapfunk, who will bring their tasteful grooves courtesy of head honcho’s Ingi Visions (Samuel Deep & Julian Alexander), Benny Rodrigues and Gene On Earth.

In true VBX fashion there will of course be the infamous after parties in place for both shows…the details of those will be announced closer to the time, but as always you know the Dutch promoters will not disappoint.

A definitive and exciting start to the year from VBX, who continue to be one of Europe’s leading underground promoters.

Algorythm - Marrakech

Algorythm – Marrakech Released 14th December 2018 on Planet X Recordings

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

Berlin-based producer, DJ and Neptune Records boss, Algorythm, weaves his melodic magic upon his captivating Marrakech EP.

The EP opens with Marrakech a rhythmic and driving track with industrial hints, culminating in an euphoric breakdown. This bleeds gently into Lima with its spacey sensibilities, chugging bassline and uplifting pads. On Tuscan, Algorythm creates a glitchy, dark and rolling techno number that delves into a deeper hypnotic section. Broken Glass closes the EP with ambient melody laced with dreamy synths and underpinned by a dubby bassline.

Algorythm is ending 2018 the same way he began it- with a mesmerising release that delicately balances light and dark. He released his Monodular EP in January on Curle Recordings, home to Agents Of Time, Efdemin and Tobias. The production wizard also heads up his own Neptune Records imprint, home to much of his output. As well as this, Algorythm, together with the Berlin collective that he is part of, has created a brand new label- Planet X Recordings. Named after the mysterious Planet X, the collective have new releases planned for next year with each one featuring a collaboration with different photographers that will culminate in an exhibition next summer.

Label: Planet X Recordings | Released: 14th December 2018 | Distribution: DigDis! | Cat no: X-101 1. Marrakech 2. Lima 3. Tuscan 4. Broken Glass

LA’s soulful R&B/dream-pop RKCB share live video of ‘Know Love’

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

“Modern, soulful R&B-pop hinged on elastic vocals that can stretch into a perfectly pitched falsetto, pulsating synths,  and a production value so clean you could eat your morning eggs off it.” – Noisey

“Riley Knapp and Casey Barth have a knack for creating electronic music that pulses with R&B sensibilities.” – NYLON

“…a world-spanning, reality-bending epic that befits the dreamy, R&B-tinged track…” – Billboard

LA’s soulful R&B/dream pop duo RKCB are fresh off the release of two acclaimed singles, ‘Alone With You Pt. 2’ (buy/stream) and ‘Know Love’ (buy/stream), and now the duo have announced a massive co-headlining tour with Shoffy, their biggest tour to date. Head here for more info and tickets for each show. To coincide with the tour, RKCB are sharing a live video of them performing their recent hit “Know Love” ( YouTube), which will give you a great idea of what to expect from their live show!

“The See For Yourself Tour is going to be a really special one for us. We’re bringing on a lot of new elements and creating more moments to really immerse the audience in our world. We want to transform the stage into the dreamscapes we envisioned when we made this EP. It’s also so exciting to be sharing the stage and vision with our good friend Shoffy. We can’t wait to bring this show to so many new cities.” – RKCB

RKCB are an LA-based production duo comprised of Riley Knapp and Casey Barth, whose alchemic sound fuses neo-soul, modern electronic R&B and dreamy synth-pop with avant-garde lyrics, resulting in an unparalleled sound. Accomplished producers and songwriters in their own right, having worked with Tinashe Julia Michaels, Kacy Hill & more (alongside eclipsing 100 million Spotify on their own tracks), RKCB are poised to have a break-out year all their own in 2019.

After spending the majority of 2018 in seclusion in the studio, RKCB returned to the spotlight in late September with ‘Alone With You Pt. 2’ followed closely by ‘Know Love’ in early October. The latter draws upon the moody aesthetic set forth on ‘Alone With You Pt. 2’ and adds in the duo’s modern production techniques to include warm synth lines and heart-pounding percussion that wash over the listener, while RKCB’s impassioned vocals elevate the track to exorbitant levels. Both songs are out now through AllPoints, ahead of the release of the duo’s new EP which will be coming out in the midst of the tour… but more on that soon!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if we can make something happen around any of the dates, or if you’d like review tickets – we’d be more than happy to set you up.

People Luminous

by the partae December 19, 2018
written by the partae

What is your name and role within People Luminous?

Hey, I’m Nicky Swamp and I handle the creative direction in PL

You’re apart of a growing underground Hip Hop culture on the Gold Coast, please tell us about this music scene and all the goings on:

Apart from us and the ever growing dance community the GC has no hip hop scene. It was killed by wannabe gangsters, ice junkies, Eminem idolising bogans and cultural appropriation to a level where small town white kids were, maybe still are freely saying the N word to each other with zero understanding of anything let alone culture. We’re a new movement of love and positivity. Gold Coast is paradise, act like it. People Luminous is the community.

How did People Luminous form?

It never formed, it’s always been. We just put the PL label on it in 2017.

What have you been working on lately?

We’re seriously sitting on so much content. We’re waiting for the right time to release and we’re still trying to crack the playlist game. Seems like unless you know the people putting putting them together you don’t stand a chance and radio will only play you if you’re already popular. We might just go against all advice and put everything out in December/January just because we’re told not to.

You’re gaining a reputation for throwing wild  warehouse parties, please tell us how these came about and what the whole experience is like:

It’s real life. We don’t advertise. If you know you know. You gotta know us or someone we move with to be there. If we can fill a warehouse without a mention on social media then we’re happy. You wanna invite?

What do you have planned for the remainder of 2018 going into 2019?

Maybe back to back tacks ever tuesday arvo at 2.15 or maybe nothing until
February, we’ll see… Next warehouse party is December 21st tho.

Who are you listening to at the moment?

Right now I hear Chronixx from my lounge room. Hot Wax will get played at some point, I.E., Manu Crook$ but apart from that we aint trying to hear anything outside of the circle. It messes with your energy.

Your single and music video ‘Garms’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track?

Mainly me spending too much money or clothes and shoes. the mindset has changed since we made this earlier this year. I actually got a book on minimalism the other day. It’s hard to be content when you’re crowded with unnecessary stuff.

Where and when did you record?

it’s all in house at the PL compound. Matt Gray on production and LGHTYR at the controls. We’ve been recording togther since the end of 2017, it never ends.

How did the music video come about?

Our guy ACE Cubes is always on sight with the camera. We just get it done and move on.

What do you like to do away from music?

Pray and give thanks for all we have and the blessed life we live.

Favourite food and place to hangout?

My kitchen. Ask anyone in PL, I’m the head chef around hear.

Carl Cox, Hardware & Bush Records present: PURE 2019 LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT + ADELAIDE INTRODUCED TO TOUR

by the partae December 18, 2018
written by the partae

One of Australia’s most loved techno events: PURE, returns for its fourth year in 2019, to announce its biggest line-up to date! PURE, presented and curated by Carl Cox, Eric Powell of Bush Records and Richie McNeill of Hardware, will see Carl Cox (Intec, Australia), Marco Carola (Music On, Italy), Joseph Capriati (Redimension, Italy), Enrico Sangiuliano (Drumcode, Italy) and Eric Powell (Bush Records, Australia) take PURE to new heights in 2019.

After its first year in Ibiza winning ‘Best Event’ of the summer in September 2017, this year the Australian leg expands to include Adelaide fans for the first time alongside regulars: Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.  PURE 2019 will tour Australia over the Easter weekends in April 2019 and Adelaide will also be getting in on the action of Australia’s largest techno event! Adelaide ravers get ready!

Celebrating techno and house music, PURE has quickly established itself as a ‘must attend’ event for dance music fans, thanks to its reputation as an event where the audience can make a special connection with the DJs.

In April of 2016, Carl Cox launched the first instalment of his PURE event in Australia.  Taking place in Melbourne and Sydney, the event showcased players from the global Techno and House movements.

Marco Carola ​​from Italy has enjoyed being a global techno ambassador, instrumental in the development of the electronic scene in the early 90’s.  Over twenty years later and Marco is still one of the most respected artists amongst the techno faithful, widely regarded as one of the key factors in driving the genre towards worldwide recognition within electronic music.  Joseph Capriati ​​from Italy needs no introduction.  Now over a decade into his career as a globally touring DJ, there’s hardly an accolade he hasn’t achieved.  He is deservedly one of techno’s most in-demand headliners and continues to better himself as an artist.  Capriati’s brand of slick and emotive techno, delivered with precision, flair and infectious energy, has become a staple highlight of the global club and festival circuit.  ​Enrico Sangiuliano ​​is a name you will have noted if you have been anywhere in the electronic music scene over the last few years.  International recognition came in 2015 with his remix of DJ Boris’s ‘Can You Hear Me’ on Alleanza, claiming the title as Beatport’s ‘highest selling techno track’ and being known for his driving techno, reminiscent of his peers Joseph Capriati and Marco Carola.

Join the crew for a night of Pure techno, delivered with incredible sound in an old fashioned no nonsense, no fluff rave atmosphere.

Pure 2019 Lineup Line-up:

Carl Cox (Intec, Australia)

Marco Carola (Music On, Italy)

Joseph Capriati (Redimension, Italy)

Enrico Sangiuliano (Drumcode, Italy)

Eric Powell (Bush Records, Australia)

And more to be announced.

THE GROWLERS Release New Single ‘Who Loves The Scum?’ + Beach Goth Aus Tour Jan ’19

by the partae December 18, 2018
written by the partae

“While the title tips its hat to The Velvet Underground (“not everyone”), this is a Growlers track, garagey and poppy, through and through.” – Brooklyn Vegan

“We’d suggest getting yourselves along and expecting the unexpected;
Growlers gigs go long and get wild.”– Monster Children

“Nor gypsy, nor skater, nor goth, nor hobo, nor surfer, nor punk, yet somehow all of these things. The Growlers just might be the most interesting band in the world, certainly one of the coolest.”
– Julian Casablancas

California’s radical sons, THE GROWLERS release their brand-new, fuzz-laden single ‘Who Loves the Scum?’ including a limited-edition seven-inch single via the band’s own label Beach Goth Records.

The deliciously scuzzy track written by Brooks Nielsen and Matt Taylor was produced by long-time friend and collaborator Julian Casablancas (who produced The Growlers 2016’s LP City Club) as well as Grammy award winning producer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, War On Drugs, Weezer).

The track premiered via Life Without Andy who declared “the track features the wailing avant-garde guitar solos and doubled vocals we heard on City Club, mixed with the rawness of their 2018 demo collection Casual Acquaintances. Of course, there’s sprays of surf, and washes of garage.”

‘Who Loves the Scum?’ arrives exactly one month ahead of the Australian east-coast leg of THE GROWLERS worldwide ‘Beach Goth’ tour and will see the prolific party band play some of their biggest Oz venues to date including the iconic Forum Theatre in Melbourne and The Metro Theatre in Sydney. The tour kicks off on the Gold Coast on Jan 10 and is also stopping in the Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay, and Adelaide.

Supports are announced for each state including BABE RAINBOW, THE CHATS and PIST IDIOTS with MORE local acts yet to be added. Tickets are selling fast. Grab em before they are gone viahttp://lovepolice.com.au/the-growlers-2019/.

From their first LP Are You In or Out? (2009) to their latest LP Casual Acquaintances (2018), The Growlers have forged their own twisted path on the global music scene. They’re the party band that grew into a traveling circus that spawned their own hit event, Beach Goth. Lead singer Brooks Nielsen draws a particular devotion among Growlers fans, as does chief cohort Matt Taylor, The Growlers’ music director and lead guitarist. Their most recent LP was 2016’s City Club, produced by Julian Casablancas, which saw them expand their palette to include West African, dance, and electronic influences.

GD FRNDS SHOWCASE W/ NOCTURNAL TAPES, HØT COFFEE & DVNA

by the partae December 18, 2018
written by the partae
Check out the Facebook event for more details!
Nocturnal Tapes
Here is a band that’s built their name on the live circuit. Nocturnal Tapes have one of the most dynamic and pummeling live shows going around at the moment and it’s backed by their groundbreaking source material—more recently, their acclaimed ‘Visions IV’ EP. Spending the better part of this year in the studio, now is the time to witness the spectacle of Nocturnal Tapes.
STREAM
Høt Coffee
Høt Coffee, an intricate electronic duo, began solely from one jam of 23 year olds Wade De Souza and Matt Hansford. A flawless and undeniably catchy mixture of electro-funk and hip-hop verses makes this pair flexible and relentless in their craft.
STREAM
DVNA
DVNA is the freshest, most spirited voice from the Gold Coast. Her pop brilliance pours out from her debut single, ‘Girl On The Move’. Soulful and divine, both in equal measure, this young producer and songstress has an incredibly bright future abound—so much so, that she often wears her sunglasses inside.

PRINCESS NOKIA re-releases Metallic Butterfly (Remastered & Expanded)

by the partae December 18, 2018
written by the partae
Princess Nokia has re-released a remastered and expanded version of her 2014 debut full lengthMetallic Butterfly via Rough Trade Records, featuring three bonus tracks from the era. Before the rapper/actor/model/intersectional feminist became the icon she is today, Destiny Frasqueri was a young trip-hop and Bjork-obsessed NYC raver kid. The album showcases all sides of what we’ve now come to know as the definitive multi-faceted artist Princess Nokia: music lover, philosopher, activist and anime nerd. The music was composed entirely with hip-hop producer OWWWLS, who also worked closely with her on 1992 Deluxe and has been her current live DJ.

When the album was originally released, Vice called it “one of the most exciting and ambitious independently released albums to come out of the New York underground in a long time” and Complexadds, “we’re treated to her raw, but emotionally-rich talent as a vocalist on Butterfly… It’s clear this girl’s talents are vast.”

Metallic Butterfly (Remastered & Expanded) features some of the enduring hits that are part of her live show, such as the pumped-up, drum-n-bass love song ‘Dragons,’ the Afro-Latina pride anthem ‘Corazon En Afrika,’ and the empowering mantra ‘Young Girls.’ These fan favourites and more are finally available on streaming services for the first time.

The shape-shifting emcee has been releasing music via YouTube and Soundcloud since she was in high school and catapulted herself to the next level with 1992 Deluxe—selling out venues across the globe and steadily gaining tens of millions of streams. Earlier this year, she released A Girl Cried Red–her mixtape showcasing another fully formed side of Destiny that still taps into the uncompromising feminist ideology of Princess Nokia.

Purchase / Stream Metallic Butterfly: https://princessnokia.lnk.to/metallicbutterfly

Additionally, below is a handwritten letter that Destiny wrote on the day of the record’s original release, it’s quite something. Please feel free to share.
